Best Books to Change Your Mindset: Picks That Shifted My Perspective
I’ll be honest, my twenties were a mix of banking stress, late-night cricket matches, and pretending I had everything figured out. Spoiler: I didn’t. Somewhere between endless Excel sheets and a packed commuter train, I realized my head was wired more for worrying than for wonder. That’s probably why I’ve always been drawn to books…
Best Books on How to Be Happy: My Personal Picks That Actually Work
Happiness is one of those slippery words I used to roll my eyes at. Back in my banking days, “happiness” came in the form of an annual bonus or a rare Friday off. Later, as a father, it started to look like bedtime giggles, or my daughter proudly handing me a wobbly crayon drawing. And…
Best Books to Learn How to Read (With a Personal Twist From My Life)
I’ll confess something: for years, I thought I was a “good reader” simply because I could zip through a book quickly.

Best Selling Books on Grief and Loss : And How They Spoke to Me
I still remember the first time grief knocked on my door. I was a teenager, and one of my closest cricket teammates lost his father unexpectedly. Back then, I didn’t know what to say. I tried to offer comfort with the usual “stay strong” line, but honestly, it felt empty. Over the years, whether through…
Best Books on the American Revolution : And Why They Still Fire Me Up Today
I’ll admit something upfront: I’ve always had a soft spot for stories about underdogs. Maybe it’s the old cricketer in me, remembering those tense matches when we faced a stronger opponent and somehow clawed out a win. That’s probably why the American Revolution fascinates me so much, it wasn’t just a war, it was a…
Best Books on Manipulation and Dark Psychology : With My Personal Take
I still remember my early days in banking, long meetings where persuasion wasn’t just a skill, it was survival. Deals were often less about numbers and more about psychology: who could read the room, steer the conversation, and influence the final “yes.” Over the years, I realized manipulation (both good and bad) happens everywhere, at…
