WELL PLAYED: From Here to Eternity! by Dr Rajeev Bagarhatta | Book review

Book review :

"Well Played "is an inspiring story about a remarkable individual who rose from humble origins to medical eminence through sheer grit and perseverance.  The book is set fortuitously in the backdrop of Tokyo Paralympics 2021, which reignited discussions on the role of medicine and rehabilitation in sports. 

This  book  is  a compelling read about Jagdish Prasad Bagarhatta, a sports instructor in a medical college, who seeks to apply his inherent curiosities and the basics of sports physiology to the principles of cardiac rehabilitation when  it  was  still  nascent  in  India  in  the  1970s.  His lasting contributions to medicine serve as a monument to his unrelenting commitment and unyielding pursuit of greatness.

 Bagarhatta’s endeavours take the reader through the toils and torments of a common man, a sports person, knocking to enter the medical world, and then succeeding in making cardiac rehabilitation acceptable.  The  pages  are  replete  with  complex  situations challenging  Jagdish’s  personal  and  professional  life and deliver message of optimism and tenacity.

Overall, "Well Played" is a compelling , fascinating memoir that guides the way chosen by a common man to succeed in life.  It serves as a reminder that ordinary individuals can accomplish remarkable feats when they believe in themselves and seize the right opportunities.

 Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace  Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales.
