Governing Business and Relationships
Business-persons mechanically follow routine practices laid down by self-styled business schools. Spouses and parents are overwhelmingly emotional and impulsive in their behaviour with each other and their children. There is little reason and judgement governing actions and relationships. Human beings blindly adopt a life set by predecessors. The intellect, lacking development and strength, hardly plays a part in the conduct of their business and home. Consequently, families are torn apart, business houses collapse and nations are at daggers drawn. While governing bodies in the fields of education, politics and religion helplessly gaze at the internal and external crises that humanity faces. The solution lies in developing a powerful intellect to gain suzerainty over the perennial confrontations of the world.

The book comes off as a crash course on Indian traditions and customs and it's application to management.
However, the author offers little to no practical steps to make these changes into your daily life.
Thus it feels more like a sermon than a helpful guide.
Key takeaway: Humans are different from plants and animals in the sense of possessing gross (the faculty to reason judge and decide) and subtle intellect (the ability to understand the self and reach transcendental reality), this we must awaken it and use it appropriately.
Quote:
"Oh, why is a lily not an oak?
"You do not realise that you err in expecting people to conduct themselves different from their basic quality and character. You expect the impossible"
'Whatever the leader does that alone others would do; whatever standard s/he sets that they would reach'
Thanks for reading,
Siddharth

Good book to pick something new
The author enlightens the reader in his own unique way by stressing upon use of intellect, importance of realizing Self, being of service to others, having an ideal in business environment as well as life.
