Don’t Forget Your Floaters is a self help guide designed to help anyone and everyone in the ocean of life. K. B. Trehan embellishes the book with his personal experiences that takes readers through lessons, whereby they almost feel like it’s a heartfelt conversation with a close friend. Summary Of The Book K. B. Trehan drawing from an analogy of floaters being the safeguard, has penetrated deep into the most mundane or overlooked facets of life. However under his tutelage, Don’t Forget Your Floaters conveys the deeper significance of every action in a human life. The book has been designed in an effort to become a manual unto life and the various trials and tribulations with their unique mechanisms. Drawing his attention to the most important parts of any person’s life, the author tries to provide creative analogies. His method involves the design of ‘floaters’ that can help readers sail through the right opportunities and tide through the rest. The focus of the book is in the person handling their personal predicaments and how they can exercise choice, the simplicity of which is a somewhat reliable way to find their way out of sticky situations. His especial attention to the behaviour of animals, birds, and people he’s encountered help to explain to readers their own situation more clearly. The author explains to readers that the answer always lies within the person itself. The final competition is always in trying to better the self. He also explains his own dalliance with introspection. In doing so he offers readers with better handles to expose anger or frustration at a difficult time. Don’t forget Your Floaters doesn’t decide anything for the readers, but instead leaves them with the tools that can come handy in handling situations in their unique way. However, with a larger directive in place that explains to readers the implications of different responses and behaviours, it is undoubtedly a useful guide. With concerted efforts to keep this as close to his own experiences as possible, he attempts to ease readers into relating to the content more readily. This has been done keeping in mind the effort to engage the readers more holistically. Don’t Forget Your Floaters manages the challenge to ask the right questions. With under 200 pages to its credit, Tehran ambitiously packs in a number of dense themes in little page count. About K. B. Tehran K. B.
