The Asura Way: The Contrarian Path to Success by Anand Neelakantan | Book review


 Book review:

"The Asura Way" fills in as both an enrapturing story and a significant philosophical request, empowering readers to embrace equivocalness, challenge the customary way of thinking, and outline their own way towards progress in the present complex and steadily impacting world. In this book, the readers get to figure out the other perspective on any circumstance. One faces any obstacle in an asura way or authentic way. The two techniques encourage you to do the undertaking yet it really depends on you how to channel your energy.

The author pours light on the way that It isn't "you are what you should be," but "what you want to be." You will become meriting anything assuming you want it enough. Anybody effective here and there or one more has craved results, envisioned them, imagined about them, and worked for them. Nobody has accomplished anything without unequivocally wanting it. In this way, the main move toward the Asura approach to everyday life is Want.

Want can prompt wretchedness if you carry on with a daily existence lacking equilibrium and discipline or on the other hand on the off chance that you have not tracked down your motivation. Hopelessness and bliss are essential for life; they travel every which way constantly. One can't have bliss without wretchedness. One can't have both without want.

The book goes into different truisms, including "Stay away from Lobha" and "Stay away from Moha," uncovering the imperfections in these apparently timeless suggestions. Drawing motivation from fantasies and stories, the author masterfully recounts the tales to demonstrate the way that carelessly following these colloquialisms can prompt unfulfilled objectives and botched opportunities.

It capably winds around exhortation drawn from stories, outlining the hazards of outrage, want, desire, voracity, and connection, while underscoring the significance of understanding and controlling these feelings for progress in this day and age.

By and large, the book is an assortment of misleading pieces of advice given and how one can positively utilize these negative contemplations to get through progress and lead to your objective. Worth reading, do grab it!

  1. Thw most interesting line of the entire post is " By and large, the book is an assortment of misleading pieces of advice given and how one can positively utilize these negative contemplations to get through progress and lead to your objective. " You will make me buy this book just for this line and I am curious to explore what the book talks about. Thanks for the recommendation.

  2. Anand Neelkantan has certainly made his mark in changing the way one looks at villians through Bali and Asura. The Asura Way, seems to be similar, turning the regular self-help fiction books and giving them a twist.

  3. The emphasis on understanding and managing emotions like anger, desire, and attachment also resonates deeply. It's a reminder of the importance of emotional intelligence and self-awareness in navigating life's challenges and achieving personal and professional success.

  5. I like the fact that it gives advice on tackling the negatives. That is a good way of turning things around. Have put the book on my wish list.

  6. I do think a lot of issues crop up when we try to do things in a way that don't feel true to us. I remember interviewing Anand N some time back and he had talked about this book. Sounds like quite an interesting read.

  8. I hope the book is not that hard a read because your review has given me food for thought and piqued my curiosity about " misleading pieces of advice "and what is the "Asura way "exactly. I thought Asura was a demon not usually someone to be followed. Interesting indeed!

  10. very few books and motivation talks focus on how to tackle the negativities. From your review it feels like this book does that bit well. Only for that reason I'm gonna check this book out even though I'm not a fan of this genre (and also because I admire this author)

  12. I have heard of this book but this kind of philosophy doesn't really appeal to me. Thanks for the recommendation anyway.

  17. I've loved reading Anand's previous books and somehow this seems to be confusing if I should read it or no. But I absolutely loved the last paragraph.

  18. What an interesting way to tell/teach these lessons. I do agree that a lot of common beliefs and advises may actually not be the best thing to follow.

  19. A mix of mythology and self help. I am quite curious to know if it is how values have been instilled into us or the author has taken a different path. Adding it to my TBR.
