Question the Answers - A toolkit for personal transformation.

 I have finished writing my third book, "Question the Answers". 

As an engineer, shifting to social sciences was a conscious choice to make a difference in the lives of people and spread more hope and positivity. That thought has led me to master’s degrees in philosophy and psychology, and now this bestseller streak as an author. 

In life coaching, we emphasize the importance of "setting intent." Setting intent involves not only defining a clear purpose but also visualizing the desired outcome. This mental imagery helps in aligning actions with goals and maintaining motivation through challenges.

When an intent is pure and backed by conviction, it will lead you onto something bigger than oneself. 

"Question the Answers" is a transformative guide to introspection and personal growth. Filled with thought-provoking questions and insightful reflections, *Question the Answers* invites readers to embark on a journey of self-exploration. Through guided reflection, readers are empowered to navigate life's challenges, make informed decisions, and cultivate a growth-oriented mindset.

I have created a blueprint for pausing amidst life's chaos, reflecting on key facets of life, and reframing perspectives to foster personal reinvention.

"Question the Answers" is designed to be a companion for those seeking to cultivate inner peace, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. 

I hope this book starts an internal dialogue towards finding your passion and setting an intent. Thank you for being part of this journey. I am humbled by the support and love that helped me publish three books in a span of 16 months. 

Thank you for purchasing and loving 'A Balance Called Life' and 'Taste of Fate'. Being accepted in both fiction and non-fiction is a dream come true. Thank you. I appreciate you being part of this amazing journey. 

Here’s to good intents leading to success for all of us.

Timeless Conversations #PhilosophyThursdays

Philosophy has always fascinated me. It is simple yet profound. It is complex yet a part of everyday existence. It is reachable and yet elusive. The paradox it provides is enough for hours of pondering and entertainment.

I have been writing on the quotes of some of the prominent philosophers I admire. Today, I would like to talk about RenĂ© Descartes' quote, "The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries." 

This quote appeals to me as a reader and author because it captures a profound appreciation for literature and its timeless value.

When we read great books, we engage in a form of intellectual dialogue with the authors, philosophers, and thinkers of previous eras. These books create a bridge that connects us with their minds. The finest minds of past centuries have grappled with fundamental questions about existence, morality, society, and human nature. Reading their books is an opportunity to learn from their experiences and insights, which remain relevant despite the passage of time.

Books also provide a window into the historical, cultural, and social contexts of their times. By reading, we gain a better appreciation of how past societies operated, what values they upheld, and what challenges they faced. This historical awareness enriches our understanding of contemporary issues and helps us draw parallels and contrasts between different epochs.

Beyond intellectual engagement, reading great books can also be a source of personal and emotional enrichment. These works often explore the depths of human experience, offering insights into love, loss, joy, and suffering. They resonate with our own lives and emotions, creating a sense of connection with the authors and their characters.

The journeys of great thinkers and writers, often fraught with challenges, remind us of the potential for human greatness and the enduring power of the written word. They encourage us to strive for excellence and contribute our own voices to the ongoing conversation of humanity.

Let's take this as an opportunity to own our voices and register them for posterity, for sometimes it is in these small steps that future generations unravel the secrets of our era.

Here's to writing, transforming reality, and enduring for centuries.
