There Is No 'Point B': Awakening of a Software Engineer by Sriram Ramakrishnan | Book review

Book review:

"There Is No 'Point B' by Sriram Ramakrishnan is an interesting investigation of his excursion, both individual and expert, inside the domain of computer programming. This book offers a reviving viewpoint on the human experience, empowering readers to relinquish the consistent quest for "more" and on second thought value the excellence of the current second.
 
Quote from the book that piqued me:
💧Just like how a mirage is an optical illusion, ‘Point B’ is an existential illusion. 
💧Everyone is good enough, right here, right now, as is! If the grades are poor, that’s good enough. If there is motivation to improve grades, that’s good enough. 
💧If there is no motivation to improve grades, that’s good enough. If there is motivation to improve grades but no improvement happens, that’s good enough. If there is motivation to improve grades, and improvement happens, that’s good enough.

The author accentuates that enlivening isn't tied in with looking for something new or missing. About acknowledging nothing was absent in any case—that this second is as of now home. Arousing, as Ramakrishnan depicts, is a reasonable and straightforward acknowledgement of a reality that has forever been there. It's a change in mindfulness, similar to a snake shedding its skin; it is really prepared to happen just when one. As the book indicates, the method involved with arousing can't be instructed or scholarly through ceremonies or practices; it essentially occurs to you.

Ramakrishnan likewise addresses the general idea of injury, noticing that everybody encounters it in some structure, and these encounters leave an effect. He also tends to fear, proposing that the best way to defeat it is to deal with it directly and come out more grounded on the opposite side.

I admired reading the short stories included inside to guide him about his changing attitude and how his life was making a difference. His ability to share the raw details of his life and inspiring anecdotes creates a curiosity to delve deeper into his journey.

Overall, "There is No Point B" is a reviving interpretation of the profound excursion, liberated from the pomposity frequently found in self-improvement and edification books. The author's direct methodology and legitimate narrating make this book a must-read for those looking for a more profound comprehension of satisfaction. It's an educational read that urges readers to quit pursuing and begin living.

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

 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...
