Review: Who doesn't know Gaur Gopal Das? This book is written by one of the most respected and loved monks of today’s time, who is also a disciple of Radhanath Swami. This book provides a very interesting read just like his lectures that you might have come across in YouTube. This is a self-help book of its own kind which is written in a very simple and narrative tone.

 

Gaur Gopal Das has made sure to inculcate precious philosophies of life through real-life examples. This is the reason why he has created a main character Harry who invites him over the lunch prepared and served lovingly by his wife Lalitha. They discuss several aspects of life, right from how those couples met, fell in and out of love to the meaning of life. This is when the monk goes on narrating several incidences from his life to emphasize on the fact that our car-like-life must be balanced on four wheels as Personal life, Relationships, Work-life and Social Contribution. If there's an imbalance in any of these wheels, the car might get lost from its path while moving towards its destination. He also has discussed the importance of gratitude, spiritual practice, the act of forgiveness, speaking sensitively, self-discovery, decoding spirituality at work, selfless sacrifice, etc through several stories and anecdotes to make it relatable by the readers. Philosophies of life are better understood when those are relatable. This is what Gaur Gopal Das has exactly done.

My Review:                                                           

I feel so grateful to have picked up this book for reading as it’s my 5th book of the year. The language of the book is such that I felt listening to his lectures. This book acts as a gist of all the lectures given by the monk. I would definitely recommend this book to those who are on the path to figure out the purpose of their lives.
