After reading The Calling, I realize Priya
Kumar's true calibre and I feel so fortunate to be knowing her now. Few weeks
back, her team messaged me on Twitter, to know if I would review her book.
Immediately I went on to find and read more about her. And I was amazed, how I didn't yet know
about such an amazing woman, who inspires and motivates so many people out
there.
The book arrived in my mail along with a letter
and gift packed so meticulously! The gift was a cup with the book's theme, and
with message written on the first page of the book as well. I love
personalization, it impresses me and all this further packed me with a lot of
enthusiasm to go forward with the book.
This book is an inspirational and motivational
piece of fiction. A story that most of us working professionals, living the
fast life, chasing our work goals with the only aim of earning and climbing the
career ladder; will relate to. It’s a story of a man, Arjun who is given a
reality check and understands what and how his life took a wrong turn and how
to rectify the mistakes that are made.
You would really find your calling, if you go
past the first few pages of this book. You’d never really regret reading it
till the end. It is a gem. But, if you are going to give this book a miss,
either you are already on the right path in your life or you’re just ignorant
of something that holds the true power to unleash your inner self.
In the fast pace of city life, in the race of
conquering everything and trying to make everything perfect – whether it’s
family or work or something else, we forget basic ethics, morality and well can
even forget who we were or what we wanted to achieve in the first place. The
Calling is a book that will make you think about a lot of things in your own
life.
The Protagonist's encounter with the sage gives
out knowledge you would want to seep deep into your psyche. Yes, the book does that to
you.
The book is filled with a lot of wisdom.
Everyone would find something for them in it. You’d surely feel the mountains
calling out to you. The characters are so neatly presented that they never
deviate from the essence of the plot. And there were some quotes which I super
liked– making me ponder about life before continuing to read.
Overall, The Calling – Unleash Your True Self is
a book which is on the lines of The Alchemist and The Secret. Some books are
meant to be chewed and swallowed. This motivational book by Priya Kumar is one
such!
Highly recommended book for all those who love
motivational books that can really open your eyes and provide you with rich
insights. This book is about something all of us need to be reminded of, I
won’t reveal much but as I said, it’s a reality check we all need. This book
can change your life and guide you towards your calling in life as it has in my
life.
Thank you for creating The Calling, Priya.
