3 Best Books of All Time

So here are the top 3 books that have impacted the quality of my life in an exponentially positive way:

1) way of the superior man - “stop waiting. feel everything. love achingly. give impeccably. let go.” this book is a trip. I’ve read it over 50x and have given it away to countless friends. Reading this book is like watching the matrix or meditating for the first time. If you’re a man and wish to get many answers to the mysteries of life, such as women and work, you need to read this.  

2) the power of now - once I read this book, I finally realized that happiness doesn’t exist out there; it exists here. I used to always concern myself with things that had happened in the past or that may occur in the future. This book helped me realize that everything I need is in this present moment. The past came in the form of a present moment. The future, too, will come as the present moment. But the only thing that exists is what’s right here and now. I learned that to get into the present moment; I must focus on my breath. Take in the senses around me. Like sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Being present is the antipode to most of life’s challenges. be present.  

3) autobiography of a yogi - steve jobs only had one book on his iPad. This was also the only book he had read once a year since he was 18. This is also the book he gave away at his memorial to all 500 attendees. I’m only halfway through this book, but it’s already among my top 3 books. The author has a unique way of bringing together East and West insights to answer eternal questions. He brings science and spirituality into focus. The book’s first half also takes place in Calcutta, where my parents are from. 

Thanks for reading my blog. I’m going to start writing a lot. I know that my writing sounds quite informal and half-ass. Well, that’s cause it is. I aim to capture my thoughts as if I’m messaging a group of friends. So if you’re looking for polished writing, you may wish to sign up for my newsletter. This blog is more about me having brain farts. Stay tuned for more…
