From Straw to Prosperity is more than a motivational guide — it is a personal invitation to transform your mindset, unlock your inner wealth, and rise from limitation to lasting success. Written by Vinod K. Gulati, a passionate author who turned life’s adversities into wisdom, this book calls out to everyone who has ever felt stuck, undervalued, or financially constrained.
This transformative book begins with the timeless story of Abraham Lincoln, a man who rose from deep poverty to the presidency, serving as a powerful reminder that greatness is built, not born. The author then leads readers on a step-by-step journey of practical insights, rich storytelling, and actionable strategies that awaken self-belief and the courage to forge a better future — no matter your starting point.
You’ll explore:
• How to discover the seed of nobility within you and make it your compass for every decision
• The true meaning of prosperity beyond money — blending purpose, health, and meaningful relationships
• Harnessing emotional intelligence, inner resilience, and humility to convert struggle into stepping stones
• Real-life stories of icons like Lincoln, Oprah, Jack Ma, and Malala, who turned adversity into achievement
• The power of small beginnings and how disciplined habits can lead to extraordinary outcomes
• A call to embrace entrepreneurship not just for profit, but for dignity, purpose, and self-reliance
Through thoughtful reflection, culturally rich anecdotes, and cross-cultural perspectives — from Indian spirituality to African Ubuntu and Western innovation — the author inspires readers to see beyond fixed salaries or formal qualifications.
