New York to NEW YOU: THE 31/7 ODYSSEY by Manoj Gupta
From New York to New You by Manoj Gupta is an interesting book as it would like its readers to discover a new version of themselves following the advice shared. It proclaims to be an odyssey which is 31/7. That 31 is obtained from the knowledge of the sages thousands of years ago. Its profound yet dealt with an easy manner and simple language. The protagonists are of diametrically opposite backgrounds, one an investment banker from New York, while the other is a Guru in India.
The author Manoj Gupta is an accomplished business leader, advisor, and speaker. His fascination for the human mind and the subtle difference between ‘making a living’ v/s ‘living a life’ inspired him to write this book.
The ABCD of this simple technique, simplified by the author is interesting and easy to practice. The four steps explained to bring in balance the 7 aspects of one’s personality is logical, and time tested from ancient philosophy. However, the contemporary context makes it appealing. Not a book to be raced through as it required you read some and ruminate some. Being a slim volume, one could easily race through it, but if you really want to create the best version of yourself, go slow, read, and introspect!
