It’s my birthday in the present day—I’ve accomplished 46 laps across the solar. And as I begin my 47th yr, right here’s a enjoyable truth I found: 47 is the atomic variety of silver. So, I suppose this can be my “Silver Yr.” Unsure if that makes me extra useful—although at 46, I used to be a “Palladium”, which is extra treasured than silver and gold—or just a bit tarnished, however it doesn’t matter!
However sufficient about silver (and ageing). At present, I’m celebrating one thing a lot larger than a birthday.
I’m excited to announce my new e-book, Boundless: Timeless Knowledge for a Life With out Limits (464-page hardcover e-book, illustrated, and written in English).
What Boundless Means to Me
This e-book began as a deeply private mission—only a assortment of notes and ideas I needed to go away for my kids, Kavya and Chaitanya. I needed them to have one thing to carry onto as they stroll on their very own journeys of life, one thing that shares what I’ve realized (and unlearned) alongside the way in which.
However as I wrote, someplace these notes took on a lifetime of their very own. They turned classes for anybody who has ever felt caught, restricted, or not sure of what comes subsequent. They have been for anybody trying to reconnect with the huge prospects inside themselves.
That’s why I referred to as it Boundless.
This e-book is my try to discover what it means to stay with out limits—not within the sense of chasing limitless ambition however in embracing curiosity, braveness, and the liberty to be your truest self.
A Glimpse into Boundless
The e-book is organised into 5 sections:
- Self-Discovery: Discovering who you might be and the trail you’re meant to stroll.
- Overcoming Adversity: Learn how to navigate life’s storms with grace (or not less than attempt to).
- Conscious Residing: Slowing down and noticing the small, stunning issues in life.
- Private Development: Rising not for the sake of feat however for the enjoyment of studying.
- Societal Virtues: How we are able to contribute to one thing larger than ourselves.
These sections are made up of 52 chapters—because the variety of weeks in a yr—the place I’ve drawn from thinkers who’ve deeply influenced me—Steve Jobs, Kahlil Gibran, Ramana Maharshi, Leo Tolstoy, Viktor Frankl, Lao Tzu, and lots of others—and added tales from my very own life and different such reflections. Every chapter additionally has inquiries to information your personal considering.
Boundless isn’t simply in regards to the phrases. It’s stuffed with illustrations I’ve drawn myself. Easy and imperfect as they might be, they’re my means of bringing the concepts within the e-book to life, including a bit of further heat and which means to the pages. I hope these sketches make the journey by means of the e-book really feel a bit extra private, like a dialog between us.
Total, creating this e-book has been a labour of affection. Like my first e-book—The Sketchbook of Knowledge—I selected to self-publish as a result of it permits me to pour my coronary heart into each element. All I had as firm alongside the way in which was the quiet satisfaction of crafting one thing significant.
My hope is that Boundless can be greater than a e-book to you. I hope it appears like a good friend—somebody who’s there for you when issues get powerful and a reminder of why you retain going.
How Boundless is Totally different from The Sketchbook of Knowledge
Lots of you could have learn my first e-book, The Sketchbook of Knowledge, and have shared how its timeless classes resonated with you. It’s deeply humbling to know that it’s discovered a spot in so a lot of your lives. As I now introduce Boundless, I need to rapidly share how this new e-book is each a continuation of that journey and a departure into one thing deeper.
Once I wrote The Sketchbook of Knowledge, I needed to create one thing timeless—a group of timeless concepts that anybody may choose up, flip by means of, and really feel impressed.
Boundless, although, is a really totally different form of e-book. It’s extra private, extra reflective. It’s not nearly what others have stated however about what I’ve realized—by means of my very own experiences, failures, and moments of readability.
If The Sketchbook of Knowledge was a map of timeless truths, Boundless is the journey itself. It’s deeply private, however I’ve written it for anybody who’s trying to embrace their distinctive path and stay a life that feels limitless.
It’s not a substitute for The Sketchbook of Knowledge—it’s a companion, and I hope it finds a spot in your life, too.
