"Hello. Well, about the book that really impacted me the most in my life. I think the book that really impacted the way I think and the way I work and what drives me is a book called the Pursuit of Wow. The book is written by Tom Peters, who is a management guru. However, the beauty of the book is it's written in very, very simple language, not using marketing jargon, but rather very well illustrated through photographs and stories."

"Today, when I make decisions, whether strategic or personal, I ask myself, am I being true or am I just being good? That single distinction has helped me lit with more clarity, more honesty, and far less apology."

@MahaanMusings | Lord of the Flies by William Golding

"The greatness of Golding is that he is able to tell the story in less than about around 180 pages in a manner in which he drives home the point that rules don't count for the powerful. And the fact is that he drives home a very message that evil gets the better of man because of lust for power, money and the objectivity loses out to mob mentality. It's a very illuminating book and Golding builds up a very terrifying climax."

@Tally | From the Material to the Spiritual

"Since then, of course, I have read other spiritual books, but I believe that in my youth, when I was inclined towards atheism, these two books, the Prophet and even more influentially, the Gitanjali by Tagore, they were instrumental in making me shift from my belief from a materialistic point of view to a spiritual point of view. And in that sense, they influenced the future direction my life would take."

@vinaykanchan | Pages that shaped me for the ages

"And considering I am somebody who writes and trains and speaks about the art of creative thinking, I can never end this question without mentioning Edward de Bono. Edward de Bono is the master of lateral thinking, and all his books went a long way in terms of developing ideas in my mind when it comes to what it takes to think outside the box. So those are the books which really shaped me not just as a thinker, but also in terms of the person I am today."

"It could be Edward Dibono, Nishe, JD Krishnamurti, various leadership books, management books, psychology books. I've been reading through my career and in the last seven years I was being introduced to Bhagavad Gita. While I have been hearing about this book. And if you ask me, I don't call it as a book. It is a divine presence that is available for us and I would like to call it as a conversations with the divine."
