Start your review of Selfie of Success

Success writes about itself, to give a "holistic view of itself, presenting a complete and different perspective"; this is how " Selfie of Success" can be put forth. The holistic view is presented in four parts. Starting off by explaining the settings, success continues to give a different perspective by giving a syllabus, summary, side effects and signature. Each of these parts are given a brief overview, followed by stories or write ups of personalities who exemplify the facts covered in the p

I have read many books on success and stories that inspire. This book was different in multi-contextual approach. It gave me a kind of holistic view of ways in which different people achieve success.
I would say it is a good read, considering the Indian context and successful people from various eras and walks of life.
The book is a good amalgamation of different stories and inspiring people.
The only drawback is the different sets of illustration. It gets the eyes a bit sore.
Still, it is a good ...more

Book Review: The book is about the hottest topic of all times. The ubiquitous topic everybody loves to talk about. It talks about SUCCESS. The topic is not new and not something not discussed before. A plethora of books talk about it. But this book sees it with an entirely different pers ...more

Have you ever thought of our feelings and emotions as a separate entity? It is strange thinking that, right? But after reading ‘Selfie of Success’ I don’t think so. It is a book from the perspective of success. It includes every element of success; its sources, sins, side effects, shocks, stages and everything that is needed to understand success.
Right from the cover and title, the book is classy. The language of the book is easy to understand. The writing style of the author is simple and impre ...more

The title of the book is self explanatory and purpose of reading it being someone who is preparing for upsc is also understandable. Let's start with saying that the narrator of the book isnt the author it's the "Success " itself! Personification of an abstract thing. While describing himself it says, "I am nothing but the attainment of things and experiences you yearn for" and then it asks for us to do our part of job in order to achieve it....The basic flow of the book can be divided as such li

IAS Burra Venkatesham has jotted down a good piece of writing as the name is also much fascinating. The book concept is quite good, somewhere I felt the narration is not flowing streamline while the stories are inspiring one.
It includes beautiful stories of great personalities like Oprah Winfrey, Einstein, J.K Rowling, Jeff Bezos, Mary Com, etc. and a list of long stories about them, which were of course very fascinating.
