My Thoughts:
Self-help books are those souls that travel with us in times of personal turmoil and console us like our friends. Though there is a quite mockery amongst some readers about these books, they always turn out to be helpful. The pandemic year 2020 gave writers and authors a great opportunity to explore new horizons on human life and mental health. The loss of their loved ones, jobs, opportunities and many deaths around has had many people force themselves into a gush of stress and fear. But as the saying goes, books are the best friends; self-help books were the only friends. At this juncture, I also happened to read a few books last year and this year. Once I started reading, there were signs from the destiny to pick up more books on self-help, spirituality, and philosophy. After Life Quotes by Pemmaraju, I soon found myself reading this engrossing yet scintillating book. Read on to know what I think about Heena Talwar Sadana’s – Zindagi, Ek Nayi Disha gave me!

Beautiful Introductory Paragraph

ज़िन्दगी एक मेला है,
जिसमें तू अकेला है!
आया है दुनिया में सबके साथ,
