Why Books? And, is it okay or in vogue to choose a book to read despite the air is loaded with easily and most conveniently accessible contents and fingertips are on AI-chatbots which can answer every single question in no time? Here is the answer to your quest…
We consume food to build our bodies and information to feed our brains. The content you consume except reading encroaches your brain in bulk while reading sends it bit by bit (each letter is made of 8 bits). The answer is itself with you which is going to be sustained in the brain and which is going to be a deep root in it. I do believe, the book has the power to rewire, unbind, rebind, recreate and rebuild you. Before, moving forwards let’s have look; at what India’s leading teacher (Dr. Vikas Divyakirti) says about reading a book: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CqYUT6KtlTl/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D
I have consumed dozens of books and made a list of books one should read, chronologically to evolve in a completely different way:
1. Roller Coaster Ride! (Fiction) By Saumil Shrivastava
If you are someone who wants to enter into the world of books and wanna become a voracious reader but feeling a kind of resistance to start because of any reason either you’ve poor English or are confused about where to start and from which book to say hello? This will be a milestone in your eternal journey. The book will make you an addictive reader because you will not be able to drop it until you finish. And, this is how it brings you to the reader’s stage from where you can move on the journey of reading Non-fiction and self-help and philosophical books.
The book is nothing but a love story but the way the author takes you on the ride will drive you crazy to swim into the ocean of love.
2. The Code of the Extraordinary Mind (Self-help book) by Vishen Lakhianai
As we all are nothing but the output of the programmed information fed into our brains. But, the most beautiful thing about us is, we can question, dream and can bring it into reality or always can be in quest for so many unanswered questions. I am suggesting this book just after your first fiction because I strongly believe, this book has the power to rewire, rebind and rebuild you and at the same time can decode and recode your cognitive thinking ability and eventually construct you as a complete infant learner and observer of the world free from all the barriers and boundaries of the society, culture and myths implanted from the start of your life.
The Code of the Extraordinary Mind blends computational thinking, integral theory, modern spirituality, evolutionary biology, and a little bit of humour to provide a revolutionary framework for re-coding ourselves with new, empowering beliefs and behaviours so we can live extraordinary lives. Throughout, Vishen Lakhiani shares transformative insights from legendary thinkers including Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Arianna Huffington, among others, helping us to think like the greatest creative minds of our era—questioning, challenging, and creating new rules for our lives. Lakhiani’s 10 laws help us retrain our minds to grow and achieve more than we ever thought was possible, showing us that we do not need to follow convention and can succeed on our own terms no matter where we are starting from.
3. Rich Dad Poor Dad (Wealth) by Robert T. Kiyosaki
The book will teach you the groundbreaking techniques of building wealth, not money. Wait a minute, the book is not all about finance and shortcuts to becoming rich rather it offers wealth-building exercises and attitude. It’s not a matter of obsession, it’s about the creation of a wealthy lifestyle.
April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time.
4. Think and Grow Rich (Self-help book) by Napoleon Hill
Thoughts are neurochemicals which play a key role in taking decisions on our journey of thousands of miles. Thoughts are also the foundation stone of life and are responsible for every single decision we take. And, these neurochemicals have the power to change the complete chemistry of our lives. This book implants a different kind of thought process within you which have the power to create richness (not just money but life), you wanna experience.
After interviewing over 500 influential rich men and women, the author has been able to get a good understanding of just how the rich became that way. Through thirteen simple rules that are offered in this book, you are shown just how you can train your mind to think like the rich, which will eventually lead you to riches as well.
5. Inner Engineering (Spirituality) by Sadhguru
To experience the joy and explore the cosmos in a deeper sense, one needs to take a dive within (inner-self) and spirituality is the engine which can take you into it. And Sadhguru’s (Yogi) wisdom has influenced the globe in the context. This masterpiece crafted by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev itself will take you on the journey.
In his revolutionary new book, visionary, mystic and yogi Sadhguru distils his own experiences with spirituality and yoga and introduces the transformational concept of Inner Engineering. Developed by him over several years, this powerful practice serves to align the mind and the body with energies around and within, creating a world of limitless power and possibilities. Inner Engineering is your own software for joy and well-being.
6. High Performance Habit (self-help workbook) by Bredon Burchard
At this point, I want to give you the book which is not just a book but a complete workbook. Yes, you heard right! Please do take a pen or pencil while reading this book because Brendon is not just authored the book but came with the complete package of exercises and plan of action for his teaching. It is said that writing has 7 times more impact than reading and Brendon knew it. And, that’s why he crafted this revolutionary book.

Adopt these six habits and you win.
7. An Unplayed Game (Novel): By Pankaj Thakur
I suggest you take a deep breath and let’s have a joyful experience with my own novel: An addictive fable of infatuation, love, sex, cheating, ghosting and healing…
This is not because I authored the book but offering you a sip of a different taste in between the journey of voracious reading for your refreshment.
An Un-Played Game is a beautiful and addictive fable of the author, who is a nerdy student of India’s first and most renowned agriculture university. He is an all-India rank holder and therefore well known for his sapiosexual & humorous nature. Once, life plays its most awaited game, the game for which he was not prepared well but was ready to play. And that’s how it starts, the game! just not of love but the game of infatuation, love, desire, sex, cheating, ghosting and healing…
The whole tale keeps the reader on-ground while he plays his inning until the game is over. The author called the game unplayed while he plays very well because, the game he is playing is not to win, not to lose even not to over but it somehow happens and he rests its judgment up to its reader…
Though, the ocean of books is spreaded way beyound the cosmos but these are the initial steps one may take to enter into the vast ocean as an intern…
