One of the most insightful books I have read on controlling the mind and becoming a better leader. Highly recommend. I pretty much couldn’t put down and read it in 1 day.
When I saw a book on Management by Sri Sri I could not believe. So completely out of curiosity I started reading the book. But when I read the book, I was surprised to see the depth of knowledge the author has. This book contains some of the really beautiful management strategies. How can you not just start a business just for the sake of business, instead start a whole movement in the process. How can you truly inspire peoples to do great. Don't start a business instead start a movement with a social cause, that is designed to solve a social problem, and a way to solve that manifests as mean of a business. Really beautiful concepts. Loved it a lot.
The ideas discussed are good but without a clear say of implementation. You might get a better understanding of meaning of spirituality in modern concept. It also tries to sell AOL programs which I did not like. Overall an average read, gives you a few good ideas though.
The tips are good, but nothing you wouldn't know. It's a good reinforcement of the basics and gives you strength to follow these tips. But also there's a lot of repetition because a large part of the book is in Q&A format.
