MY REVIEW
Resilience, vulnerability, and emotions are delved into deeply in each of these 31 chapters in this book which is a combined effort of 31 remarkable authors. The book cannot be just an anthology, but it is a combined effort of 31 authors who have shared their heartfelt experiences and their learnings that will help people sailing in the same boat.
We live in a generation where people are quite hesitant to acknowledge emotional issues. Not only in us adults but also gives insights into how to handle emotional wellness in kids separately.
“Do not judge a book by its cover.”
“You never know what someone is going through until you are in their shoes.”
I’ve seen a lot of videos of Dharman which let you understand empathy and situations that make you understand that human emotions are not just feeling but much more than that.
Having known a few of the authors personally and what they’ve gone through, it is truly a commendable effort for many of them to come forward, share their experiences, and their way of life to deal with emotions. That thought of this life lesson will help many who are like us are applauded.
There are two things, one is dealing with ourselves and the emotions, the latter is emotions and the people with whom we deal. The book helps you understand different situations involving parents, kids, and in-laws.
There is no human being without a problem, no human being who is always happy. Everyone at some point of time in their life would have faced a standstill, a moment, or a period where they needed help, and didn’t know what to do or how to come out of it.
Every chapter where the authors share their life experiences, especially in a way that they connect with the readers. In most self-help books where people discuss emotions, we often see a preachy narration. This is where the book stands out, the connection they make with the readers will surely help in uplifting.
A unique synergy is a blend of personal experiences with professional insights. It would be right to call this anthology a holistic resource that will serve as a beacon for those who are struggling and for those who love to read and learn from experiences. The book will be a great option as a gift to someone whom you know who needs the courage and uplifting to move ahead.
I’ve purposely not mentioned in detail any of the chapters from the book, because I would want you to buy, read, and enrich yourself in the experience.
A truly remarkable anthology powered by Roma Gupta Sinha and the team of women.
Buy yourself a copy or gift to your loved ones.
