Concept : Who does not know Gaur Gopal Das ?
He spread
his knowledge through various YouTube motivational videos and by attending few
number of seminars. This is his first book. In
this book the author compares our life with the journey of a car. It helps reader to learn and correlate about the
main four wheels of life i.e. Personal life, Relationship, Work life and last
but not least Social Contribution. He gently touches almost all
kinds of topic that one can think to progress in his life. The main topics
touches me most are Growing Through Gratitude , Pressing the Pause Button, Spiritual
Practice , Forgiveness , Self-Discovery , Selfless Sacrifice and Service Brings Joy. The writing style is really
appreciable.
In-depth
Review:
It has 20 sub-chapter. I have given a summary of all
chapter on one line by his language.
- Forgetting
the Keys : As you
become successful do not forget the keys to happiness .
- Seeing
beyond the Obvious : Behind the smiles everyone is going through personal
struggle we know nothing about.
- The
Journey Begins : We must
find positivity in the bleakest situation and leave by the principal of
gratitude.
- Growing
through Gratitude : Stop
and reflect on your life regularly.
- Press
Pause : Pressing
the pause button to practice gratitude is the way to make it a constant in
your life.
- Why
Worry : When
things are beyond your control and there is nothing you can do why worry ?
- Spiritual
Practice : Spiritual
practice is the foundation of our happiness. It guides us in times of
turmoil and ground as in times of joy .
- Speaking
Sensitively : We
should deal with each other sensitively; our attitude towards life affect
how we act in our relationships.
- A
Virtuous Vision : There
are many ways to perceive others . we should start choosing the one which
magnifies the positive and avoids the negative .
- Correcting
Cautiously : Corrective
feedback can make or break our relationships.
- Forgiveness
: Forgiveness
is a complex concept we must understand it truly to be able to internalize
it.
- Association
Matters : What
relationships are stronger when they contain a spiritual component. There
are three different ways to become good friends with someone.
- Competition
Crossroads : At work
we tend to compare and compete with others, instead of comparing and
competing with ourselves.
- Self-Discovery
: To find
your purpose in life, you must go on a journey of self-discovery.
- Decoding
Spirituality at Work : This
chapter clears the many misconceptions about spirituality : that
spiritualist are not ambitious , that spiritualist will get walked over at
the workplace because of their values and that we should not aspire for
the nicer things in life .
- Integrity
and Character : Sprituality
helps develop good character. It is character that shines bright when word fail to
do so.
- Selfless
Sacrifice : You can
be completely selfish, completely selfless or any of the combination in
between l. Life is a journey from being selfish to becoming selfless.
- Family
First : The
first step in selfishness is to practise it with our family .
- The
Nation Narrative : We can
increase our scope of selfishness beyond our family by serving our
community City or even nation.
- Service
Brings Joy : In
sanskrit service is called seva .Adding a spiritual element to our seva
can make it more fulfilling.
Criticism :
As you all
know that Gaur Gopal Das is a genius person and he has a lot of knowledge to
spread. I really inspired from his YouTube video but the book does not make
such impression like his YouTube videos . We expected something more from his
first book. He should go into the deeper
of every topic instead of just touching them
. Hope in future will get more books from this author.
