The author shares his life journey as a deeply spiritual man taking us through epiphanies and experiences he has had since he was a child. In a simple narrative, without being ponderous, he goes on to describe his breakdown as a corporate executive and the ensuing dark night of his soul. Coming out stronger and wiser, he shares the learnings and practices that helped transform him.

Butani espouses a holistic approach to health encompassing all facets – mental, physical, emotional and spiritual – underpinned by the primacy of consciousness, your own inner being guiding you at all times. This is in contrast to modern medicine that views the human body as a bio-chemical machine to be “fixed” when one falls ill.

He leaves readers with an array of information and tools that cover yoga, nutrition, the mind-body connection, breath work, as well as esoteric modalities of energy work. Not to be overlooked are a list of links to discussions with various experts towards the end of the book. They cover mainstream and esoteric knowledge on subjects such as diet, physical pain, tarot, the placebo effect, Bach flower remedies, family constellations and energy healing.

The book serves as a primer for those who want to understand health as a part of a wider spiritual search. Butani does, of course, state that your body is a temple, a temple of the living god that lives within you and must be treated like one.

Review –
Author has shared his life journey in this book with all the readers. Readers can learn so many things from this book as Author has kept topics crisp and simple and also interesting at the same time. I personally love self help books because it keeps us motivated and specially during this pandemic situation, such books are quite good. Author has correctly stated in this book that we should celebrate and cherish small moments in life.

Author has nicely explained the importance of mental, physical and emotional health via this book. Author has taught us how to self-love and to avoid negative vibes around us. I loved the cover of this book because it’s quite different. It’s a short read with 154 pages so one can complete it within a period of 2-3 days and enjoy it.

I would surely recommend this book to every reader out there because this would teach so many new things to everyone out there. Kudos to the Author for coming up with this book.

“The universe is our kindest co-conspirator” the book is started so well with this message that made me keen to listen more about what Amit Butani wants to convey. Back 2 Basics leaves the reader handful of information on spiritual and mindful wellbeing. The author shares various methods and tools that can guide the reader to achieve a spiritual and mental balance holistically.

I have not come across powerful and easy to follow self-development books in recent times. Meeting the demands of our busy lives has already left us very little time for ourselves to focus on maintaining our well-being. I felt this book is very much essential for individuals particularly at the current time of pandemics.

This book made me realize how important is it to remember that each part of our mind, body, and emotions serves a purpose for our future. Embracing a healthier lifestyle will help us fully experience all the good things that are in store for our future. Amit has shared his life journey on how he has been spiritually conscious ever since his childhood and the way his new learnings and practices has helped him to transform himself as bolder and stronger.

The book also provides different techniques and tools which is not limited to energy balancing, nutrition & dietary advice, mind-body connections and much more. I appreciate bringing such a wonderful idea together in a book as this serves as a complete guide for physical and spiritual wellbeing. Moreover, the tools and techniques mentioned in the book are very easy to practice.

The narrative is simple and easy to understand. The chapters are properly structured, and each section provides practical and helpful suggestions. I would honestly rate this book with 5 out of 5 stars, and I am happy to read this book. I would recommend this book to a wide range of readers from young adults to adults. I would also suggest this book would be a perfect gift.

Back 2 Basics by Amit Butani is a short read of 11 chapters that I finished reading last night and trust me it is one of the best read of 2021.

Title of the book goes with the Plot perfectly and Book Cover is also relevant, I liked the picture of a path along with birds on it which provides proper soothing vibe. Story comes with a smooth narration and I would like to praise the Author as he has good narration skills and an amazing writing style.

Endurance, good diet, safe habits, ideals that we lack in life, moral & psychological values is what is totally blended in the book and trust me you guys can finish it in one sitting.

Lifestyle , vibes and how to live a happy life is what will be the result after you have finished reading this one as this book has a lot of learnings that can be implied in our own life.

With perfect blend of authors emotions the author has quoted his own life examples to give that relatable touch to the story and trust me the learnings are huge.The author has explained why social , emotional and psychological well being is important.

Grab a copy of this captivating story.. Narration is smooth and strong. Language of the book is simple and I was easily able to follow the story. Author has done great work in his debut novel. Pace of the story is fine and I didn't felt bored anytime while reading it. This novel has the power to hook the readers from the first page. I have even more expectations from the next book by Amit Butani

'Look at the person in the mirror, the only one who's gonna be your friend through your rise and fall.' Hello readers, I'm sure you guys are doing really good, today let us dive into the lake of positivity and discover something real beautiful. Today, the book I've reviewed is an absolute package for holistic healing. This book by Amit Butani is based on the theme of self love, accepting life and cherishing moments. The book starts with the author's life story, stories where he shares his experiences and learnings from his teachers. Then the author guides us through the way of life. He explains the various aspects and importance of physical, mental and emotional health. He also conveys the importance of self love and believing in ourselves.

I personally admire self help books like these, it is a short read but will help you life long. The text in the paperback edition is clean and aesthetic. The cover of the book is calm and soothing. This is author's debut book and I really appreciate his theme selection. The language is very convenient and friendly. The book is a holistic approach towards life and covers all the dimensions- physical, mental and emotional.

I recommend you all to read it out, this book is just like a companion and will definitely guide you. This book will teach you how to cherish life and live every moment instead of just surviving. I'm sure this book will teach you important lessons of life. The book is also perfect for gifting purpose.

The fact that we all want a happy life is all over the internet. The only thing stopping us from actually being happy is we asking google how to be happy and not ourselves. Self help has always been my favorite genre because it focuses more on reality and bringing the quality back to life. I heard about a very famous book known as "Back 2 Basics".

The idea of bringing it all to basics and pressing that reset button attracted me to actually read the book. The description was very appealing and my expectations from the book actually increased. The overall vibe I got was something I got while reading Inner engineering by Sadhguru.

The book is basically a deeper dive inside yourself. We seek for help outside when it is really upside is the core concept that cleared my mind after reading the book. When deeply seen its the reality. At last it is the self that we have to work on. The other aspects of the book are the words, which I feel are easy and understandable to a point where it can be read with least difficulty. The flow which is the outcome of good editing was just smooth. The best part which I would like to mention is that usually some self help book lead to creation of confusion unlike this one. The concept were made very clear and fitted very logically. I would definitely recommend it you all.

Author Amit Bhutani shares his life experience of believing in himself and his body and mind that can transform once life miraculously. He further shares what made him build a faith in himself and the power one posses in his or her sub-conscious mind. It is important to understand once worth and never give up.

A moment in his life made him realise that he had to start changing and moulding himself at all levels be it mental, emotional or physical state. Very soon he started to realise that creations begins from inside first.

He has very well quoted that “ once you are prepared to take on responsibility and take power in your hand, the universe organises itself to support you”. He explains through his book the importance of yoga, meditation, self healing and self belief to run a smooth and healthy life. Nothing can stop getting you to top in your professional or personal life if you believe in yourself.

I really loved the concept and the way he made this book interesting by sharing his own life experiences through his writing. Good work Mr Bhutani.

After reading this book I can just say a word "commendable" work done by the author. It's not that easy to talk about your failures infront of such large audience. It needs a lot of courage and strength.

The book is an amazing read. It's very inspirational and motivational for every person who is losing hope or is on the verge of falling from the edge.

The book cover and the title are perfect and suitable for the inside part . It's attractive and creative. The language is very simple for anyone to read it .

The story is all about the life of author . How he started from the very beginning, became successful and then faced failure and again got up to raise and achieved success once again.

I can personally say that I am so inspired after reading the ups and downs of authors life.

The book is going to give you positive and a empowered vibe. The waves of self confidence and faith within oneself will blow your mind wonderfully.

🌸Life comes with problems which used to upset me a lot until I learned it will pass, every day does not have to be bad, you can keep moving forward. I know people that live in the past and they are not happy. Change can be a good thing if you put your mind into think about the big picture and make good changes. This book has wonderful advice on how to keep rebooting your life and make adjustments when you need to for your happiness.

🌸The book is full of positivity and inspiration. The importance of self confidence and faith within oneself has been desc wonderfully.

🌸Not going to lie- I was expecting "another self-help book" telling me to do more and be more. This book took me for a spin I wasn't expecting!
Author is honest, real and raw about his path in a way that makes you want to go deep into yours. This book gently pushed me out of my funk and opened my eyes to my future ahead. I highly recommend it!

As we grow up day by the day all we can think about is how to reach the ultimate goal. We think about having the best things in life. We work for it as hard as we can, ignoring our well being. Both mentally and physically.
In this fast paced and stressful life we only care about meeting deadlines, multitasking, etc. Immense stress not only takes over your mental health and Physical health too. To take a break and focus solely on your soul is something this books guides us towards. It shows us no matter how far you have hit the rock bottom it is not impossible to go up. It will educate you on various aspects.
Personally this book has given me not only knowledge about mental training but physical training as well. Highly recommend if you want something that will not only change your mind but your life as well.
