5 Books for every single human being in the world....!!

If I had the ability to give 5 Books to every single being in the world, 

1.Bhagavad Gita

The first book, Of course, I would give the Bhagavad Gita. It's a great book Because it is something that teaches a way of living. The Bhagavad-Gita may be a great book because it embodies the reasoning mind, capable of selecting the way of purpose over the automaticity of a life led by desire. If Arjuna simply follows his desire to not fight, he learns nothing. Instead, Krishna tells him to ‘fight the great fight’, this is often his duty, his purpose, his dharma.

Freed from indecision, Arjuna is subsequently told that his opponents ‘have it coming to them’ anyway; Arjuna is simply the instrument of divine karma.
The reader shouldn't dwell too long on why God is recommending war. the purpose of the story is that the young warrior, in questioning his own action and existence, displays reason.
The reason is that the process by which we discover our place within the larger scheme of things, specifically the work or actions by which our existence is justified and fulfilled. it's what makes our citizenry.



The Bhagavad-Gita draws attention to the three ‘constituents of nature,’ Tamas (darkness), Rajas (fire), and Sattva (light). A Rajas sort of life is filled with action and endless business, with fingers in too many pies, hunger for more, lack of rest, and lust for things and other people. it's about gaining and attaining, a life focused on ‘what is mine and what's not yet mine’.

Sound familiar? this is often living consistent with ‘outcome’, and while it's going to be of a better order than Tamas (inertia, dullness, lack of care, ignorance), it's still one among mediocrity. and therefore the lifetime of light, Sattva? you'll know you're living it when your intentions are noble and you are feeling peace in your actions. Your work is your sanctuary and you'd roll in the hay even for no reward in the least.

This book’s key point about work is that unless you're doing the work you're keen on, you're darkening your soul. If this seems impossible, love what you're doing. Freedom, from fear and worry over ‘results’, will follow


2.The Journey Home

The second book I would give is "The Journey Home," Which is the journey of guru Radhanath swami who wrote this book, It's his journey into India and his life lessons. It's a beautiful read. 

The Journey Home: Autobiography of an American Swami is an autobiographical account by Radhanath Swami, a renowned leader, and a prominent figure at ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). I need to say that this is often undoubtedly one of the simplest books I even have read so far. The book is a stimulating tale of adventures and pearls of wisdom that Radhanath Swami procured on this adventurous journey.

Radhanath Swami was initially unwilling to share his story but finally agreed after the request of his friend Bhakti Tirtha Swami who was on deathbed. His memoir 'The Journey Home: Autobiography of an American Swami' is that the story of his growing up years during a Jewish family in Chicago, Illinois, and subsequent journey to India while hitch-hiking through Europe and therefore the Middle East. He met many of us along the way who shared their wisdom with him. His stick with the yogis within the Himalayas, in monasteries, synagogues and churches acquainted him with the teachings of various faiths. The book chronicles his spiritual quest and the way he finally found the Bhakti Yoga Path.

An American swami recounts the times he spent wandering through India within the 1960s in search of his true identity. Swami grew up near Chicago during the ’50s as Richie Slavin, a middle-class Jewish kid. In his teens, he discovers the ’60s counterculture, takes part in civil rights demonstrations, grows his hair long, smokes pot, and takes LSD. His ally, Gary, invites him to Europe for 3 months during summer vacation after attending his first year at Miami Dade College. The author leaps at the chance; it’s the facility of destiny calling. Swami tells the absorbing tale of his travels through Europe and his many adventures and wanderings through India. The intriguing coming-of-age story follows Swami on his spiritual search as he encounters saints, gurus, and holy people. He meets Teresa and therefore the Dalai Lama and stays with the fearsome Naga Babas, who, the author says, float in midair. He becomes a sadhu, a mendicant beggar who goes from cave to temple to an ashram during a ceaseless quest to seek out his true teacher. Most yogis he encounters want to be accepted as his master, but time after time he refuses, for he features a special fate. Swami may be a simple, ingenuous narrator, and he tells an easy tale adorned by brief descriptive passages that convey the magic and mystery of India during the first ’70s. The author spices his narrative with intriguing stories that will not only amuse readers but also convey his deeper yearnings and uncertainties: Is God personal or impersonal? what's the role of meditation, humility, and repair in spiritual life?


3.Leaders eat last

The third book that I would give is Why "Leaders eat last," by Simon Sinek. It's an incredible read on leadership.

“Leaders are those willing to seem out for those to the left of them and people to the proper of them. Leaders are those who are willing to offer up something of their own for us. Simon Sinek’s newest book, "Leaders Eat Last", is inspiring and thought-provoking, partially because he uses numerous relatable, nonbusiness metaphors for instance his message — military protocol, parenthood, news stories, and even the evolutionary development of our own minds and bodies.

He writes at length about powerful and historical forces that haven't only shaped our culture as an entire, but that also reign influence on our actions and interactions as individuals. Forces like wanting to feel safe, eager to belong, survival instincts, cataclysmic events, addiction, generational divides, and our own physiologies have an incredible impact on our professional work ethic, too.

Sinek discusses issues from all points of view — the workers, the managers, and society at large. He acknowledges both the realistic and therefore the idealistic sides of business conditions as they relate to leadership. “Most leaders intellectually understand the importance and value of putting the well-being of individuals first. But the truth of running a business, big or small, private or public, makes it nearly impossible…the pressures are intense.” He goes on to mention, “But just like the Spartans, we'll need to learn that our strength will come not from the sharpness of our spears, but from our willingness to supply others the protection of our shields.”

The book summarizes the results of the many interesting case studies and research trials about stress and anxiety within the workplace, social psychology, obedience, trust, and happiness, also as financial strategies and market performance. Sinek also looks at samples of leadership from political figures like Reagan and Newt Gingrich, and heads of huge organizations, including Steve Jobs (Apple), Stanley O’Neal (Merrill Lynch), and Mark Fowler (FCC).

Each story and study provides a solid take-away for managers, to assist you're taking better care of your employees and stay focused on the well-being of your organization. While this book isn’t about new leadership theories or management principles, after reading it you'll learn more about the way to inspire your team and convey out their best work, the way to improve loyalty and engagement, how-to guide creativity into profitability … and why it’s all so important to try to to.

In the foreword, retired Marine Lt. General George J. Flynn makes a crucial distinction that sets the tone for the book. “A good number of our academic institutions and training programs today are focused not on developing great leaders, but on training effective managers. Short-term gains are viewed because the mark of success and long-term organizational growth and viability is simply the bill payers. Leaders Eat Last is an attempt to vary this paradigm. [Sinek’s] vision is simple: to make a replacement generation of men and ladies who understand that an organization’s success or failure is predicated on leadership excellence and not managerial acumen.”


4.Positive personality profiles

The fourth book that I would give is "Positive personality profiles," by Robert Rohm, Which helps you analyze your personality type in great detail and helps you work on yourself to come up to your optimum capacity that we were discussing. 

Using the easily learned "D-I-S-C" system, Dr. Robert A. Rohm’s Positive Personality Profiles helps readers understand themselves et al. . Dr. Rohm’s new book will clearly describe key differences in basic personality types, give practical insights into how people respond, provide keys for understanding your children, and explain methods for working with others. There IS an easy thanks to Understand People! The good news is that there's an easy key to know how people behave and the way they are motivated. We call the concept “The DISC Model of Human Behavior.” This concept will allow you to unlock the mystery behind developing good people skills and creating better relationships. you'll be ready to use what you learn during this introduction to reduce conflict, improve productivity, and relate with others more effectively.


Some Background on the DISC Model of Human Behavior Twenty-four hundred years ago, scientists and philosophers, most notably Hippocrates, began to recognize and categorize differences in behavior that seemed to follow a pattern. Since then, many psychologists and scientists have explored behavioral patterns. Dr. William Marston wrote “The Emotions of Normal People” in 1928 after earning his doctorate from Harvard University. Marston theorized that folks are motivated by four intrinsic drives that direct behavioral patterns. He used four descriptive characteristics for behavioral tendencies which are represented by four letters of the alphabet: D, I, S, and C. Thus the concept of “DISC” was introduced. On a side note - I learned about “DISC” over 25 years ago from an honest friend who helped me to know my daughter. The concept was so revolutionary in my very own family that I started my very own research. Since then I even have trained thousands of individuals and written many books on the topic. nobody is more hooked into what I'm sharing with you than I'm, because these are the very concepts that changed my life! Building on a "Wellness" Model Many behavioral models specialize in what's wrong with an individual to spot "personality disorders." The DISC model is predicated on normal behavior, not abnormal behavior. DISC may be a "wellness model" that's objective and descriptive instead of subjective and judgmental. Therefore, DISC may be a practical thanks to understanding yourself and people around within the common settings of lifestyle.



5.The Mahabharata!

Fifth book..... The Mahabharata! You know, again when I talk about the Gita and the Mahabharata, I spoke about 3 other books. With the Mahabharata and the Gita, completely removing the religious connotation, but looking at it as a way of life and specifically the Mahabharata because that book goes beyond black and white. That book goes beyond right or wrong, which is life. We were talking about those ethical dilemmas. It's so close to real life. When you read that book it's not like there is an answer straight away given to you. But it's like you can start to connect to your own journey and slowly figure those answers out.

That Mahabharata was composed entirely by Vedvyasa during a single lifetime is additionally marked as an impossibility. The epic was composed and refined, no doubt, over many years. an extended oral tradition perpetuated it. Authorship is essentially irrelevant.

Yet, Vedvyasa’s delightful presence within the plot, that too not as a foreign , unrelated observer but as a critical node on the Kuru genealogy , and therefore the references to him by the 2 main narrators of the Mahabharata—Vaishampayana and Lomharshana—suggest that things did begin with him.

Vedvyasa, in fact, may be a title. the important name is Krishna Dvaipayana. Krishna Dvaipayana was the kid of sage Parashar and Satyavati (Shantanu’s wife), and sired Dhritrashtra and Pandu with the wives of his own step-brother, Vichitravirya, who was Satyavati’s son with Shantanu. Thus, the fathers of Kouravas and Pandavas are actually children of Krishna Dvaipayana Vedvyasa, the one granted credit for the shlokas of the epic.

Perhaps it might not be outlandish to credit Vedvyasa because the creator, instead of just the biological father, of Dhritrashtra and Pandu. What if the 2 brothers were Vedvyasa’s fictions, and everything that followed from them was also, therefore, fictional. The offense (to some) of the suggestion notwithstanding, it's little question charming to embed oneself during a royalty , father fictional heirs with royal wives, and concoct stories of conflict among one’s own grandchildren.

The Mahabharata is a philosophical epic that begins with the creation of the cosmos and brings us on a journey through the passage of all time. Time is the essential element or was it actually about Dharma? It's certainly not about the epic battle that was every bit as grinding to read about as the effect of war itself. Naturally, an epic that was crafted by an entire culture and passed down through a lineage of oral storytellers is going to develop many stories upon stories, occasionally go onto tangents every bit as interesting as the actual narrative of Dharma's journey through time. And yes, the final conclusions after the war ends will bring us into a new time with a renewal of lessons from the earlier peaceful days. Sure, you can read a couple of the more well-known sections from this Great Epic: the love story; The Ramayana or the philosophical discussion; The Bhagavad Gita. Or just go for The Mahabharata, reading it's both a blessing and a cause of great bad luck. Perhaps it's because once you understand, the responsibility becomes greater?
