10 Insightful Lessons From the Book ”Man’s Search For Meaning”

(Over 12 Million Copies Sold)

⚡️Book Review⚡️

 1. He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

✅You will be able to face hard times way much easier if you manage to find meaning for your life.
2. You can adapt and get used to literally any condition.

It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.

🔴 Stepping out of our comfort zone will make us understand how further we can actually push our limits.
3. Have courage to accept the things you can’t control.

While being high in self-control is important in achieving our goals, we must not waste our time with things we can’t control.

👉What matters is how we react to situations that are beyond our control.
4. Avoid thinking about success

If you focus on making success your target, you are more likely to miss it.

✅Dedicate your time and effort to a vision that is more significant than yourself, and let success becomes a by-product of this dedication!
5. The salvation of man is through love and in love.

❤️Love should make you the best version of yourself.

It should motivate you, make you less selfish or judgmental, more positive, in a better mood, and the list can go on.
6. There is only one thing that cannot be taken away from you, your attitude.

👉The true test of our character is revealed in how we act, and you have the complete freedom to choose how to respond in any situation.
7. There is meaning in suffering.

If pain and suffering is avoidable, then we should avoid it.

✅The moment we make suffering meaningful, we will implicitly make it bearable.
8. You can resist the influence of even the most toxic environments — your actions are your own.

❌No matter what the situation, you control what you think, how you respond, and your own state of mind.

Nobody except you has control of your mind.
9. Human kindness can be found in the most surprising places.

The world can be a tough place and people can be really mean, but don’t judge a person only by a situation.

✅Each of us have a positive side as well.
10. Laughing and having a sense of humor will change the way you look at your life

If you want to be a successful person, note that positive thinking will not only give you more confidence, improve your mood,

👉but also help you approach unpleasantness in a more productive way
Can you remember…

- the worst/best decision you’ve ever made?
- the consequences of it?
- all the possible perspective you had?

Go to an upper level of decision making and make you mind to be on auto pilot mode.

12 Best Quotes from the Book “The Obstacle Is the Way”

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1. “Whatever we face, we have a choice: Will we be blocked by obstacles, or will we advance through and over them?”

2. “There is no good or bad without us, there is only perception. There is the event itself and the story we tell ourselves about what it means.”

3. “Focusing exclusively on what is in our power magnifies and enhances our power.”

4. “Our perceptions determine, to an incredibly large degree, what we are and are not capable of. In many ways, they determine reality itself.

👉When we believe in the obstacle more than in the goal, which will inevitably triumph?”

10 Insightful Lessons From the Book “Ego is the Enemy”

⚡️Book Review⚡️


1: Your worst enemy lives in you

It is true that all of us, with no exemption, harbors a certain level of pride and ego.

Since pride is in us, it is either we feed it or starve it.

👉How you deal with your pride makes the big difference.

2: Manage your pride

As soon as you feel you are becoming egoistic, boastful, and proud – you can tell yourself to stop.

👉Instead of directing people’s attention to you, choose to direct attention to others.

3: Pride tells you to talk, humility tells you to listen

Ego encourages you to lift yourself and base your worth on nothing or false worth.

On the other hand, humility tells you how important it is to listen to people.

👉So, we listen twice as much as we talk.

4: Become a student

Ego tells you not to listen to anyone. As a result, you stop learning. You stop growing.

So, if you want to keep on learning, learn to be humble first.

✅That’s how you become Great.

Firstly, build your own system to manage Cash Inflows & Outflows .
Find a way that's least troublesome but automatically separates the 2.

Easy bifurcation helps in Better mapping.

Moving onto Emergencies . This pandemic has made so many of us realise the importance of it .

Another interesting facet :
Unwillingness to take risks comes from the FEAR of not having money when needed - typically why Bank F.Ds are preferred.

Hence the EMERGENCY fund.

2/20
🔸On How to Minimise Risk ?

* Look at long term volatility of Cash Flows ( assuming Financial Statements paint a fair picture )

* Check if business generates Free Cash Flow ( FCF). This ensures company is unlikely to be wiped out at the bottom of the cycle.

3/20
🔸Management Integrity matters.

You notice good governance only when it is gone !
Hence unless one has demonstrable proof on a long term basis that people are honest , consider them to be crooks .
Cynical approach but helps save us from losses !

4/20
🔸 Level of competitive intensity in the business matters. Risk is lower when there are fewer players.

More cut throat the industry , more finesse shall be required and growth shall depend on the ability to adapt and successfully execute.

5/20
🔸Try to anticipate what can change in a business .

Scanning the historical precedent or envisaging the future helps .

Inherent risks of business matter !

Sometimes these are completely overlooked & can prove to be extremely expensive.

Marathon Asset produced several iconic investors such as Nick Sleep and Jeremy Hosking.

Their letters from 2002 to 2015 provided a treasure trove of insights into their investment frameworks and how they look at the capital cycle.

Here are my main takeaways:


1/ Periods of high profitability leads to reckless investments.

When profits are high:

-Boost CAPEX with little regard for ROIC
-Competitors will follow suit to avoid losing market share
-CEO's incentives aren't aligned with shareholders

It's a race to the bottom.


2/ The capital cycle will swing down when investments are taken too far.

Forecasts that were reasonable will now look overly optimistic.

Profits collapse, management teams are changed, CAPEX is cut, and consolidation begins.

This will pave way for a recovery of profits.


3/ Asset growth matters

Consider both asset growth at the company and industry level.

Avoid industries where assets are growing rapidly.


4/ We tend to extrapolate

When overdone, investments that appear logical at first can become disastrous.

We have a tendency to forecast linearly when many things are cyclical.

Examples: trade cycles, credit cycles, etc

10 Powerful Lessons From the Book “The Art of the Good Life”

| Book Review Thread


1. Peak-end Rule:

You remember the high point and the end point of your holiday, but the rest is forgotten.

Remind to make them as sweet as possible.

2. Plans are nothing. Planning is everything.

A good life is not a stable state or condition.

The good life is only achieved through constant readjustment.

3. Inflexibility as a Stratagem

When it comes to important issues, flexibility isn’t an advantage – it’s a trap.

Use radical inflexibility to reach long-term goals that would be unrealizable if their behavior were more flexible.

4. Reality Doesn’t Care About Your Feelings

Accepting reality is easy when you like what you see, but you’ve got to accept it even when you don’t – especially when you don’t.

10 Top Lessons From the Book
"Chatter"

📚Book Review (THREAD)


1. Introspection is a double-edged sword

💭Introspection—the ability to observe one’s own mental processes— is a valuable tool for reflection and decision-making.

But rather than make people feel better, introspection often leads them to experience something else.

2. Chatter

🗣️Chatter is the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings that turn our capacity for introspection into a vulnerability rather than a strength.

If you can master the art of introspection without the chatter, you can get your internal conversations back on track.

3. Talking to yourself can be helpful

👉Many people wonder how they can control their chatter. One way to do so is to talk to yourself using your name and the word “you,” as if you were advising someone else, a technique called “distant self-talk.”

4. Distant self-talk capitalizes on this idea

✍️Silently talking to yourself like you’re someone else—using “you” and your own name—helps you take a step back from your experience and put your problems in perspective.

Surkanda devi mandir is a famous shrine of Hindus located near Kaddukhal distt of Uttarakhand, 11 Km from the town of Dhanaulti and 35 Km from Mussoorie.
The Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread all over Indian Subcontinent and is dedicated to Goddess Surkanda.


Nestled on a Hill at an Altitude of 2700 m approx, the place offers a splendid view of the snow capped mountains, the picturesque scenic beauty that offers an experience of the lifetime.
The Temple build in the traditional Garhwal style exuberates the Architectural splendour.


The origins of the Surkanda Mata Mandir is attributed to Goddess Sati, consort of Bhagwan Shiv who in a rage immolated herself in her arrogant Father Daksha's Yajna Kund bcoz he didn't invite Bhagwan Shiv in the Yajna.


Devastated by the death of Sati Shiva wandered all over the cosmos performing Tandava-The Dance of Cosmic Destruction.Fearing the total annihilation of cosmos, Gods requested Bhagwan Vishnu to pacify Shiva.Bhagwan Vishnu then used his discuss to destroy the burning corps of Sati.


The pieces of Sati Mata's body then got scattered all over the region which were later established as Shakti Peethas by Bhagwan Shiva himself.Its believed that the head of Sati fell here and it was called Sirkhanda Mata Temple before, but with passage of time it became Surkanda.

So Arunan disguised as a girl & was on his way to Kailash.On the way Surya Dev saw this girl & outraged her modesty.Shiva was very angry with Suryan for misbehaviour & cursed him to get darkened. Whole world plunged into darkness.Surya Dev pleaded to Bhagwan Shiv to forgive him.
