MY REVIEW:

25 Essentials to Happy Living by Preeti Pathak is a self-help book for everyone. The well-designed cover of the book is serene and the blurb of the book is thought provoking. The author has asked a few questions in the blurb and if the answer to all those questions is a yes, then this book is a must read for you.

The book consists of twenty-five chapters and each one makes you think. The author begins the book by explaining What Is Life and how every human feels a pause in their life and how willingness to learn is the mantra to live. The second chapter on Stress Management deals with stress, a very common phenomenon that affects each human every day, and explains how to deal with it. There is a chapter on dealing with Money Matters and another on Anger. I re-read this chapter because I suffer from anger issues myself and I must admit that it helped me a lot.

There is a chapter named Ego which explains how ego is the veil of delusion. How to Improve Our Communication is another important chapter of this book. The chapter on Divine Friendship explains the basic meaning of life and the chapter on How To Overcome Possessive Nature has a beautiful poem in it and explains why possessiveness arises. The last two chapters, In Search Of A Spiritual Guru, and What Is Spirituality, explain the importance of the Guru and self-realization.

Each chapter of the book ends with Love and Light from the inimitable, Paramhansa Yogananda.

I feel some lines and quotes from this book could be noted down and hung across the wall of one's room as a sort of a philosophical ready reckoner. Reading this book will give many answers and provide the much-needed peace of mind. I highly recommend this book to everyone. You may want to read some chapters again and again and use this delightful book to enhance your quality of life.

Happy Living, everyone!
