[Ashrut Arya · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book based on positive psychology, which helps people understand very simple ways of fighting common mental disorders such as depression, but Constructed as a story. A 35-year-old Arjun, who tries to finish his life, but unable to do so, heads on to an unexpected journey. Over the 10 days of his journey, he meets some strangers and talks about various aspects of life with them. Towards the end, he meets a monk who helps him to understand the purpose of existence.

Even though it is supposed to give you a glimpse of what the book is about, this barely touches what has been covered in the book. Weaving all of that content into a story is something that would've taken a lot of work and hard-core research into the topics as well. The book is simply something that you shouldn't miss reading.

Now generally, this is a genre that I wouldn't even think of picking up for a read, but when I came to know that Ankit has written a book, I knew I had to pick it up. I met him a couple of years ago at a training program arranged by Grant Thornton in Mumbai. Suffice to say, those days had enough impact to compel me to read this, and I'm glad I did. As the book says, Live, laugh, love!

A beautifully written book. Arjun, a 35 year old, almost takes his life one night as he is directionless about what he wants to do and feels his destiny is being controlled by others. He runs away from home on a journey to Leh and meet people who make him understand his true identity. This is a journey not only in physical sense, but also towards self realisation.
