We're all born to be unique. First responsibility the universe places on our shoulders is to find out our authentic selves, the specific purpose of our lives, and also to make the best use of the stuff given to us by the creator. Realization of these challenges is the ultimate success of life - nothing else. The first part of this volume covers different aspects like understanding oneself, how to remain anchored in one's self, the concept of the circle of competence, the need to discover 'swadharma', how to overcome fear, why haste is a waste and the importance of biological and psychological ages. The second part discusses three natural laws of success, namely, the law of least effort, the law of wasted effort, and interdependence. We should accept our nature and not revolt against it to achieve more with little resistance and the least effort. Nothing is a waste in the universe. Everything has its purpose. When you try and fail, the effort expended for it isn't going to waste but helps in essaying future successes. Life is a progressive journey from dependence to interdependence through independence. The third part highlights the importance of critical thinking in pre-empting the 'framing effect' and as a means to harness the power of 'why?' to open up the vistas of opportunities for growth and development. Every chapter is replete with befitting stories and parables.
