“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”- Buddha
When we discuss about the Indian school of philosophy, Buddhism, much like Jain and Charbak Darshan falls under the Heterodox or Nastik tradition, i.e, they came as a response to the Vedic traditions. It was the time when a Brahmin centered, caste based hierarchical setup was prevalent in the society where the authority to interpret the scriptures was vested with the Brahmins. It was a time of two extremes: the Vedic, Upanisadic belief in the Absolute supported by sacrifices, rituals (yajnas) and the materialistic philosophy of the Charvaka. Buddha avoided and negated the extremes, and at the same time integrated the positive elements of these two systems. He negated the existence of the soul and the Absolute, but he accepted the belief in the law of karma and the possibility of attaining liberation. His main concern was the welfare of the ordinary people.
Buddha was more concerned about finding practical solutions to problems in life, and in this work author Pranay has taken those lessons from the life and teachings of Buddha to prepare dynamic leaders and achieve true success in life. In this work you will find many useful and practical insights to guide your life and career towards success. I absolutely loved the way author Pranay has divided the lessons in short chapters and explained each and every lesson in simple words. The book aims at preparing leaders who can motivate others and prepare more future happy leaders to make the world a better place to live in.
Overall, it was a fascinating experience going through this exciting work. I give it 4.5 stars and highly recommend it.
Happy Reading
