from Wings
The world of self-help, personal growth books is ever expanding. At one end are books with simple insights, offering easy steps as ‘chota recharge’ to daily life. While at other end are books with profound answers to deeper questions, offering steps that may be life transforming. In a post-truth world with shortening attention spans, the ‘everyday recharge option’ seems more pragmatic for many. How do simple stories and timeless mythologies help in my ‘daily kurukshetra’ battles? Across life-roles, how do I keep pace with my never ending dilemmas - big or small? How do I discover and re-discover answers for my ignorance & awareness, inaction & action?
