review 1: Book Review India Verdict: ✪✪✪✰✰ Review: "Anything could happen"Bracketed in 50 chapters, it's an amalgamation of the noteworthy incidents of the actor's life and traditional Indian and foreign stories.The initial chapters are an attempt to make the readers understand the root of the problem. Topics such as 'We Are All Unhappy', 'The Anger Syndrome', 'Discontent Is a Disease', and 'Comparison Begets Regret' present the examples from all over the world to make the case stronger that no human can live without being affected by the sudden eruption of chaotic emotions.The book proceeds to explain the process of change required to channelize the energy.It talks about some practical solutions to come out of the shell and analyze the situation with a clear mind.The use ... moreof mirror to get rid of the shyness is not a new method but Kher has twisted the experiment. He wants the readers to laugh at themselves to make way for the positive energy which will come to the individual only after losing inhibitions.However several of the exercises recommended in the book need a group which busy individuals may find difficult to assemble.There is nothing in the book which is not told earlier by Dale Carnegie, Thomas Harris or Shiv Khera but what adds charm to the book is the humility with which it is written.There is a separate chapter on 'Unfulfilled Relationships' but probably the book should have featured a little more on this subject as it's the relationship which suffers the most in these times of fast economic developments.The author has tried to keep the word selection as simple as possible which is expected to make the book readable to a wider set of readers.Excerpts from the actor's autobiographical play 'Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai' are repetitive and could have been edited at places.'The Best Thing about You Is You' doesn't promise any miracle and here lies the success of the book. The strength has to come from the inside of the individual and the book emphasizes on it. However a little more definitive programme schedule to change the life style might have helped.
review 2: At first it seems like a run-of-the-mill self help books, but as you read along it seems to find a connect. The various examples and personal experiences shared by Mr. Kher makes it easy to reflect upon each of the words and understand the deeper meaning. One book that one needs to keep on the bedside table to refer every time one feels sad or unhappy. It promises to make you see things in brighter light and feel happy about your situation, your accomplishments , your failures and more than anything, about 'YOU'! less
