About the Author
AMISH is a 1974-born IIM (Kolkata)-educated, boring banker turned happy author. The success of his debut book, The Immortals of Meluha (Book 1 of the Shiva Trilogy), encouraged him to give up a fourteen-year-old career in financial services to focus on writing. He is passionate about history, mythology and philosophy, finding beauty and meaning in all world religions. Amish’s books have sold more than 5.5 million copies and have been translated into over 19 languages.
BHAVNA ROY was educated in Mussoorie, Pune and Mumbai. After graduating in psychology from Mumbai University, she worked first as a volunteer in a school for special children in Malegaon, and later in an NGO in Nashik called SOS. She is the wife of the late Himanshu Roy IPS, senior police officer of the Maharashtra cadre. She lives in Mumbai.

I feel that Amish got caught into the classic trap of 'self promotion' and 'self indulgence' (more on this below). The book is in form of discussion between people who are discussing concepts like Dharma, Karma, meaning of life etc. However, when it comes to references, the characters discuss whether to refer to Amish's fictional books or one of the traditional epics versions (Tulsidas's Ramayana etc) and then they opt for Amish's book for reference! I think this is a big injustice to the expectations that the book sets up among readers.
Overall the book is very engrossing and easy to read, but had it used our epics little more, it would have been an even better book.
It would be a good book to read if a reader goes with zero expectations. For an avid reader, the book would certainly prove to be engrossing.

I enjoyed reading this book
This is a mixture of philosophy+ nonfiction+ mythology

Here are my favorite chapter
The burden of envy
Listen to your heart
The present is what matters
Quotes -
When you find your purpose and rhythm in the universe, you are in a state of dharma. Even a lion on the hunt is in a state of dharma. And the hunted deer too.’
Remember, what is in the interest of the beehive is always in the interest of the bee. The opposite is not always true.

Plus point-The book has been written in a simple language, easy to understand.
Negative points- 1) Book is not as deep as it is claimed to be. Now and then it makes some hollow statements.
2) There are lots of self exaggeration in the book that I will say are the weakest parts of the book.
Honestly I haven't came across any book up to now where author is selling his/her old works like
Amish did in this book.
Personal suggestions to other readers: If you really wants to understand the deep idea behind Dharma and how it is evolved please read Belief and Beyond by Mukunda Rao.
Haven't read it yet but I'm sure it's going to be very insightful:)

The way the discussion between the characters slowly make a grip over mind and one realises a different aspect never thought of before. The major thing that made me a bit uncomfortable was - as it says 'decoding the epic' and in many of the chapters Amish has taken reference of his own previous fictional write ups. I was rather expecting the real ancient history to be decoded here. Otherwise its a real good read.


Significance of managing emotions like Anger, loyalty vs love. The last chapter is an interesting read
