Book Description

Nirvana, anyone? Utopia, perhaps? What if we were to tell you they are attainable and within your grasp? Through this book, the author shares what truly plagues humanity and stops us from achieving our own personal nirvana. Where exactly are we going wrong? How do we identify our faults early on and work towards correcting them? And how do we get to that nirvana we spend our whole lives working towards? It took the author several years of experiments, mistakes and a lot of learning to find his version of nirvana. From describing the challenges we create for ourselves in pursuit of our utopias to sharing my experiences, learnings and the path he thereby discovered, this book is meant to help you discover your own utopias and achieve your nirvana."Don't get fooled by the title. These aren't ramblings, and Sameer is nowhere close to being a megalomaniac. His favourites - dishing out gyan and singing songs - intermingle to prime the reader for what to do (and what not to do) with their lives. Sameer has been there, done that: built a successful corporate career, left on a high to make a difference to the world around him and in this book, he distills his life experiences and learnings succinctly. A quick breezy read, but one that makes you ponder over everything you do."- Arun Panicker, Ex-President Ratings, CRISIL, currently living life on his own terms."The Ramblings of a Megalomaniac makes for an interesting, light read. Laced with simple tips to lead a happier and simpler life, and sprinkled with quotes, shayari and acronyms, you can finish this in one reading, like I did, or savour each point of a chapter and reflect deeply on it, picking out the things that will apply to you. But how you read it is not important. As Sameer says, in Nike's words, 'Just do it'!"- Venkat Krishnan N, Principal Trustee, India Welfare Trust"This book is not a ramble. It is serious advice given with a sense of humour. Especially relevant to people who are starting out in their careers. Read this book to find out what LKK, FOF, OTPS, LSG are and how they can change your life." - Suman Srivastava, Founder & Innovation Artist, Marketing Unplugged
