Chanakya In
Daily Life
By Sir
Radhakrishnan Pallai
About the author:
Sir
Radhakrishnan Pallai is the best-selling author of corporate Chanakya, among
many. He is revered across the country not only as an author but also as a
motivational speaker. This book is highly anticipated by all his followers as
it is the first one that covers topics outside of one’s professional life and
has a holistic towards helping the readers tackle problems that they face on
every front. He has researched Kautilya's Arthashastra
extensively and has a Master's degree in Sanskrit. He is the Deputy Director of
the Chanakya International Institute of Leadership Studies (CIILS), University
of Mumbai.
‘In life, one will have many ups and downs, highs and lows. But if one
learns to be grateful, then one will always find happiness.’
About the book:
Those who don’t know about Chanakya let me give you a brief
introduction, he was one of the greatest thinkers India has produced. He was
the master of all subjects such as economics, politics, military, strategies,
law, taxation and the list goes on.
In this book, Chanakya in daily life is divided into three
parts:-
1.
Part
1- Chanakya in personal life.
2. Part 2- Chanakya in professional life.
3.
Part
3- Chanakya in family life.
According to the author, all of us play these roles
simultaneously every day we have a personal life (only known to us),
professional life(involving our work), and family life the part of our life
where we get maximum happiness or sadness from while dealing with our family
members. Balancing these three roles is challenging for an individual.
Author decodes and simplifies the visionary kingmaker
Chanakya’s teaching from Arthashastra and Chanakya Niti to provide solutions
for any problem that might crop up in any aspect of life.
On a personal level,
one wants to exercise his freedom of choice. But not weighing the impact of his
choices on his professional and family life can put him in trouble. He may be
labeled a rebel.
Individually, the person may be a path breaker, but he might
end up being disharmonious while working with teams.
At a professional level,
one may be super successful, have a lot of money, power, position but he may be
frustrated by the feeling that he could have done better. Probably there is a
sense of incompleteness. Alternatively, he may think that by keeping his family
financially well off he has done his duty towards them. But later he may
realize that all his family wanted is to spend more time with him only. But by
the time he realizes it would probably be too late.
At a family level,
one may be an excellent parent and family member. Yet one might have thoughts like
what did I do for myself? There is a sense of frustration one might feel when
he sees his siblings better than himself.
This book addresses all these three aspects of life. This book gives us a practical route for the same.
Conclusion:
According to me, this book is great for everyone let it be a
student, working professionals, or as well as married guys. This book is full
of practical routes if followed properly we can learn various things about our
life. Thus, Chanakya in daily life is the perfect guru who excepts only one
thing from the shishya a willingness to learn.
