Talk of self improvement, and names such as Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and Orison Swett Marden come to mind. Sunny Palamattam’s work seems to be along different lines. It is a well studied work, and I am sure the author has drawn much of what he says from his experience abroad, from others' experiences, as well as from his own knowledge of human affairs.
Whether a person is a grocer, a student, or a manager, there's one thing that he needs to achieve, and that is emotional maturity. And as Darwin says, it begins with being able to control our thoughts. How many of us can do this successfully? No wonder Darwin says that being able to control one's thoughts is the highest stage in moral culture.
I like the way Mr. Palamattam puts it : “If you cannot manage yourself effectively – you cannot manage someone else effectively.... and if you cannot control what you think, you cannot control what you do.”
So how vitally important it is to be able to control what we think !
This book is an important work in self-management. It is going to help a person understand himself better, control himself more effectively, get on better with others, and develop a success oriented approach. It will help him in his relationships with others too.
I feel this work is essential for anyone who wants to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Anyone will profit by a reading of this book, for it really touches core issues. Students, housewives, aspiring managers, professionals -- anyone who wishes to understand himself better, and is looking for a way to live a fuller, more meaningful life should have a copy on his bookshelf.
The author writes with intensity and earnestness, yet using language simple enough for anyone to understand : ample evidence to show that he is deeply committed to the subject he has chosen to work on.
