My name is Shivkumar Iyer, am a serving Army officer having served in extremely challenging and life-changing operational areas during my decade and a half long career. I am the author of the XL anthology of 8 books, of which this book is a part and it is indeed heartening to tell you that a couple of the books in the series are in the process of publication from various agencies as this book goes live. I am happily married with two doting children and a bagful of hobbies and interests in life that keeps me motivated and enthusiastic pushing me towards greater joy and peace.

The purpose of my content is to show you that, despite my challenging regime and the incisive approach that I have at work, I aim to adopt and adapt lessons from my career into my daily life, and would connect with you without it seeming like a sermon. Let's revel in the journey of life, take charge of ourselves, create a system and framework that helps in keeping the spirit alive within us, and welcome abundance, joy, and happiness in our lives.
