review 1: A gem by Devdutt Pattanaik. More than business management it is a book of philosophy and psychology. It helped me understand the basic philosophy of West,India and China. It also gave a good understanding of human psychology and behavior. On the management part, it is more of philosophy than concrete management. It presents a framework which can be applied to any field or system other than business management. It made use of great examples from the Indian Scriptures to bring home a point and made me look at the Indian scriptures and their characters from a very different perspective. A praiseworthy thing about Devdutt is his use of Samskrit terms as it is instead of piggy backing on their incorrect English translations.
review 2: There are certain books, that a
... moreffects you deep to the core & soul, and you come out on the other side as a completely changed person. This certainly qualifies as a book which has changed me forever in some way."In the world of management, nobody takes you seriously, unless you have a model to prove your theory, therefore I came with the 3B model. As is your belief, so is your behavior & so is your business." These are the words of the "Chief belief Officer" for future group, the one of a kind post created by Mr. Kishore Biyani, which has validated the role of Indian Mythology in the business environment.This book is filled with anecdotes, which lets you see the familiar mythological stories in a completely different light, and lets you wonder if what you knew was really the truth? Which brings me to the biggest strength of this book, it does not impose any opinion about any subject in any form, instead it lets you think. It lets you decide, and makes you in-charge of what opinion you are forming about things. The way the concepts are graphically explained is the second biggest strength. The vivid description along with figures, would make any manager salivate.Personally, I believe is that this book should not be restricted to only management crowd, it should rather be read by as many individuals as possible. less
