OPEN-EYED MEDITATIONS Practical Wisdom for Everyday Life by Shubha VilasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
[Note: I won this book in GoodReads Giveaway and this is my honest review]
This book has about 62 chapters and each chapter talks about some specific aspect of human behavior. there are chapters about managing your self and about leadership skills.
while discussing all these, the author also refers to incidents in the Ramayana and Mahabharata. at times it feels like that incidents are just pushed into the narrative even if it is not needed.
The book is full of wisdom and each chapter in the end has a terse summary which I liked more than the chapter. while reading about the relationships and people it reminded me of the Dale Carnegie's book - How to Win Friends and Influence People.
There are some good chapters on Leadership skills and how a leader should act in bad times. I feel that this book has to be read and read again by me, specially the summary of each chapter towards the end of it, to make sure that I can recall these ideas when needed.
I rate this book 4/5
