What They Say
“Take a look at what other people are saying about the book"
We all understand and appreciate the virtues of Knowledge. Power comes from knowing, yet this kind of power alone will not help us succeed in life. We must understand the value of education and how it gets linked with knowledge. Schools educate and train young minds to acquire knowledge but education helps in putting to practice that knowledge which is essential to deal with real world issues and problems...
Impressive Book !!
Nihit has successfully encapsulated his learnings and experiences in an exquisite narrative style. While reading, it does feel as if he is talking to you.
He has covered an important and relevant aspect of life's lessons, which we sometimes forget to teach kids: gratitude, managing failure or managing stress.
Worth reading and sharing.

The experiences and learnings narrated in this beautifully expressed book will arm the reader with the strength to lead an effective life. This is a practical guide with an emotional connect for every age and for people from all walks...
We have experienced paradigm shifts in the recent years— wide spread application of Artificial Intelligence, transformation of physical real world to a new complex virtual world and change of priority from living a boastful life to just be able to breathe and survive these pandemic times - we would think that new generations would have learned how to manage it all. But the reality is; not all is taught and learnt in schools..
Nihit Mohan has ventured into the realm of Informal Learning. We feel that formal education is the route to learning. However, there are plenty of environmental factors which shape our learning and all this happens subconsciously. These aspects play a major role in shaping up our character and work ethos leading to success or failure. We do not pay attention to these elements of Informal Learning during our growing years...
