Book Review - Freedom From the I : Ultimate Path to a free mind and real success .

 

'I' is more than just a letter in the alphabet . It's an unseen negative energy that controls our minds and delivers in the form of actions that makes us regret later . It's a root cause for most of the problems which are almost self created than the fate showered.'I' is the ego which we always carry deep down with ourselves and empower it with our worldly impressions ,labels and judgments .It creates an inescapable maze of self created problems and unnecessary issues ,which might not be lingering in real life scenario but in our mind and  leads to isolation, anger, dissatisfaction and misery.


 Ego complicates life ,manifests a mountain of false pride and drives you away from the reality.
Lives would have been so much simpler and happier if only we were all wise and could tame the sparks of ego which has the potential of  turning our lives miserable and difficult .

For every problem , there's always a solution and solution comes in a million forms. I found it in form of a book. A wonderful book by Shashank Kasliwal titled -Freedom from the I : Ultimate path to free mind and real success.

This book serves as the guide to happier life . More like a guiding light that leads you to the right way of life .As you keep reading , you find the causes of your distress and restlessness caused by the storms of emotions and thoughts .The reason for the thoughts that leave you distraught  is discovered . The writer emphasises that it's our thoughts that toy with us and create the whirlpool of negative energy . He clearly explains how these thoughts and ways ,some based on the impressions of your past and present , always linger in some corner of the mind and trigger unnecessary emotions like anger and Jealously and  their adverse effect on the present lives.

                                                           

  Real life incidents are always inspiring and motivating. The Writer has so wonderfully used his real incidents to gives a better and clearer idea about what he is talking about as examples convey the message well than a long ,well drafted paragraph . Every incident mentioned in the book helps you discover how ego creates disturbing and regretful experiences , self destructive behavior,  self limiting beliefs and how it affects your relations with others and yourself as well .Ego diminishes your ability to think wise and right. The best part about reading these real life incidents of the writer is that they are very relatable  as they are pretty much like our day to day activities which eventually get complicated due our ego.

The individual chapters deal with the topic related with ego - like what is ego , how it's formed and developed , how one constantly feeds it , how it affects one's life and behavior ,how it gets triggered , reasons for it's intensification, how can one tame it and keep it checked and controlled , how to deal with it and how one can free the mind from ego and stay happy.

Simple yet powerful is how I would like to describe the writer's style of writing. The way he explains things through some moral stories or his real life incidents gives the reader a better understanding about the whole concept that's being spoken about or being read about.

Overall , the book is an eye opener as the things like ego which seem like a part of our lives , if not controlled and tamed can ruin our life. This book is the light that guides your way to happier life and helps you become the better and righteous human version of you.


Also , I would like thank Jaico Publishing House for giving me this opportunity to review this book that has given me a better perspective to look at the things.

Have a great day !
