review 1: Having read Banker's fictional series based on the Ramayana, curiosity saw me buying this - his first non-fiction book. It started off pleasantly enough, the narrative jumping from character to character - almost like a tv serial episode that abruptly switches between locations, pausing at a cliffhanger that ensures you hang around even during the commercials. After the break however, when he wanders into the non-fictional, non-narrative part of it, is when the cracks appear. Well written though it is, it’s not as engaging as his work in fiction, nor does it make any new point or even an old point in a new manner.
review 2: Mr. Ashok Banker himself says that he does not have the answers to the questions...it is for each and everyone to find their own answers.... more The book is average when it comes to the examples.given as to how one can achieve what one wants...but they are very easy ones....lifes a lot more complicated (yes he's put enough disclaimers)...but one does except some more out of the book. Ratnakaran's story is does stand out.... I am going through my valmiki syndrome...what i call my crossroads...there was enough to.relate to in the book.. less
