This book is mainly meant for Youths, especially students. But it can also serve as an informative handbook for parents, teachers, youth counsellors and social workers in guiding youngsters. It is a book not to be read and laid aside, but to be referred to again and again and kept as a life-companion. Youth is a period when a person’s inherent capacities attain a peak and he can manifest his potentialities in the best way. However, youth is also the period when young people keenly feel various inner conflicts and encounter the harsh realities of the outer world. Moreover, in modern times, insecurity, competition and the fast pace of life have greatly increased the level of stress in youths. To deal with all these problems young people need inspiring, self-empowering and life-transforming ideas. By ‘ideas’ is meant not mere pep talk, but comprehensive guidance in the form of knowledge in depth. This is what the present book gives. “Going through the book, one gets to know how to confront real-world’s day-to-day issues in a balanced, righteous and self-knowledge driven manner. …One feels knowledgeable, proud, inspired and confident on reading this book. The book is highly appropriate to the current times for everyone, particularly students, teachers and working professionals.”- N.R. Narayana Murthy, Former Chairman & Chief Mentor, INFOSYS Ltd.
