Why Did I Choose This Book?


It is always wiser to learn from other people's experiences. We all face pain in our life. Pain is inevitable. Being a curious person to know about the healing process and the author’s journey from “Grief to grace” caught my attention to pick this book and read it to the last word. 

  

About The Book:


The book has two parts:


In the first part-

  •  The author has described her husband, who was a fighter, a dreamer, and an achiever.

  • How did she lose him? How she gathered all her courage and told her two little princesses about their father's demise.

  • How was it difficult for her brave daughters to accept the reality? 

  • How difficult is it for a widow to live in a society?


In the second part:

  •  The author has explained beautifully how she rewired her brain to harness the mind.

  • How gracefully she has accepted the sudden loss of her loved husband and overcame it in a brief period.

  • How she has done herself healings. How she turned herself into a new person?



She strongly believes if we rewire our brain with new thoughts every day that will go to help us from creating a mess.


 About the Author: DR SHRUTHI M S

 

The author is the mother of two princesses. She lost her husband in a terrible accident last year(2020). She is a lecturer at the Department of Biosciences, Mangalore University. The author is passionate about nutrition and wellness too. 



Her purpose behind writing this book is not only to let people remember her husband Suku's virtues stay alive in everyone's 💓 but also she is conveying a deep and meaningful message by this book and expressed her journey towards “blooming beyond pain”. 



How Is This Book Helpful?


  • To move you “forward”

  • Guidance on “self-healing process”

  • Embrace “the present”

  • “Mindfulness techniques” to practice

  • Advice on accepting “the bitter-truth of life”

 

Who the Book Is For?


  • If you’re the one who is looking for some hope and the ray of light in the journey of life. 

  • For all those who have lost their loved ones and are trying to overcome the pain.

  • For those widows who want to live like other normal women in society.

  • For those kids, who lost their parents at such an early age. The book can help them in boosting their confidence.

  • For each and everyone who is in pain and looking for self-acceptance.


What were my Emotions I was Going Through while reading This Book?


The news of the sudden death of someone can shake any of us. But it's the bitter truth of life that we need to accept. It's easy to say these lines, but to accept this harsh reality is almost impossible.

The first part of the book gave me goosebumps.


But the second part gave me the courage to accept and know-how can we gather the strength again to live. How we can accept the new-normal life again. But after reading this book, one in pain will start feeling better. This book contains some brilliant advice on how to accept what’s written in our destiny?


The best part about this book is that it has taught us a lesson with each chapter. It also gives a few practical exercises to analyze our problems and pain areas, where all we need to focus.


Learning From The Book:


  • Some actions have to take towards healing.

  • How to have your perfect day.

  • How to reframe the Beliefs, etc.

 

So, What’re You Waiting For?


The Writing style is lucid and engaging.

The author now has set an example of her inspiring journey for those who are going through the same circumstances.

This book will inspire you and give you a “new perspective towards Life”.


One can feel the pain of the author deeply and also know how she turned it into fuel for her courage. I’m sure while reading this book, you will not only feel emotionally attached but also you will feel the pain of the author.

How hard was it for her and it is still?

But believe me!

A new seed of Courage gets planted in you forever.


Note: Please don’t miss this abstract poetry “My Soul Can Feel You” straight from the heart of the author on page no. 111 in the book.


Keep Healing!

80%Mindset 20%Skill

By    June 10, 2020 // 18 comments






Book: 80%Mindset 20%skills

Publisher: Adhyyan Books

Author: Devanand Gadhvi

Genre: Non Fiction (Self-Help)

Pages: 230

Rating: 5*

Reading Time for the blog: 5 minutes



I was wondering how a motivational author inspires us every moment by sharing his pieces of advice. Recently, I came across an ebook whose title caught my attention. So, Without wasting much time, I downloaded the book in a second and started reading it. Today I am going to tell you about this fantastically written book by the author “ Mr. Devanand Gadhvi.”



About the Author: 


I’m inspired by the life story of the author Devanand Gadhvi Whose's father was a truck driver and his mother played the best role in providing him the best education despite having many struggles in life. Dev Gadhvi is an international keynote speaker, best selling author, and a business coach, etc. He’s India’s first PassionPreneur mentor. He has published two books i.e 80% mindset,20% skills and the other book is 6 Sundays a week.


Every word played a magic role that compelled me to keep reading it. The author has explained. how his parents have helped him to grow, how his experiences in fortune 500 companies helped him to grow skills in life, He has expressed clearly how he faced all the challenges and how he has achieved success and managed all his tasks very well. 


He has highlighted these 3 steps formulas to become unstoppable.


  • REALIZATION
  • TRANSFORMATION
  • SUSTAINABILITY.

I was wondering how his story would help me to get inspired. And yes, the author has shared a few practical questions and exercises and shared a few tips related to business and personal growth which made me think that where I see myself in the coming 5 years. Here, the author tries to explain that If we want a rich and happy life, we need to plan it now and work on it accordingly.


The average mindset is not going to work if we want a rich life but certain massive actions need to be taken. Rich life doesn’t mean that we will have unlimited cash but in terms of good health, family relations, physically strong, mentally fit, and having a good rapport in the society. One of my favorite part of the  book Is the detailed discussion on  the  people whom we’re surrounded with:


Losers: Those who see negative in everything and don’t make an effort at all.

Comforters: Those who put minimum efforts.

Averagers: Those who achieve their small targets.

Unstoppables: Those who keep on moving ahead and take massive action every time. They’re the risk-taker and keep on challenging themselves.

He has asked certain questions on ‘why’. Find out your ‘WHY’? Asking This question can change one’s perception of their life and their goals. If we can answer this, It’ll only help us to have clarity in the mind. 


The book of the title itself describes that mindset is everything. It has the power to record and execute. If 80% of our mind is set then we can plan for anything which can be achieved with 20% of skill. Here, he tells us a story of two friends Moe and Joe, and about their mindset and skills and how they used them in their personal and professional life. How they acquired the skills with the time depending on the requirement based on life situations. 


Again, here the author conveys us a message by comparing the middle-class mentality vs millionaire mentality, average life, and rich life, etc. He explained how middle-class families think that spending money on themselves is the wastage of money whereas a millionaire thinks spending money on themselves helps them to acquire skills. The author himself has invested a lot in himself and that what makes him outstanding in the crowd.


The book is written in a descriptive style. There are many takeaways, key points from the book which can be helpful to anyone in their self-transformation. And how the author has invested his time accordingly in each aspect of life also it is related to social, emotional, physical, family, health, Income and fixing the mind, etc.



To sum up, quickly, the author has shared everything about his personal and professional life. This book has really left a remarkable mark on me and I would highly recommend it to those who love reading self-help books and looking forward to transforming their lives and seeing it from a new aspect of view. 


Of course! His second book 6 Sundays a week is absolutely on my to-read list. You’ll be updated once the review is on the blog.


Thanks for reading!
