The adjective ‘unfettered’ describes something or someone uninhibited and unrestrained. And that’s how I and my husband felt during the early lockdown days of Covid-19 during late March and entire April 2020.

That’s when I decided to push Vivek and organize the stray thoughts which he shared in social media and publish it in the form of a book.

And I am glad that he did it.

That kept him busier than during the normal times. In fact, he was working on two books simultaneously now. This book, and “WHAT MADE YOU A MID-LEVEL MANAGER WILL NOT LEAD YOU TO THE C-SUITE: Are You Ready For The Big Job?”

Additionally students from B-Schools too were doing their e-internship with ‘The Enablers’.
For the last 16 years, Vivek has been irrationally passionate about helping people in pharma brand management and sales to succeed. He wants to mentor people who desire to come up in life and succeed in their careers. Although the rewards of helping the greenhorns may not be immediately apparent, contributing to the success of others pays off in the long run. It gives him a lot of internal satisfaction.

Being a “giver” who enjoys helping others may not be paying in the short run but surprisingly productive in the long run. As a giver, he is busy helping mentees fill the holes.

You have all heard the phrase – generally attributed to Mark Twain - “love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life”.

‘51 Thoughts’ is an outcome of that passion.

Vivek truly believes that work shouldn't feel like work.

He tells his mentees that if they are waking up each morning dreading the day, then it's time to find something new. Because putting up with a career they don't love will not serve them at all. It can have a negative impact on their physical, mental, and emotional health. And that is not so great for their interpersonal relationships, either. They will not have inner peace.

This book will help everyone in pharma brand management and sales whatever levels they are at. You need not read this book in continuity. Pick up any chapter and read it. Each chapter is a lesson by itself. It can help the greenhorns to know about the qualities they to develop to succeed.
I am sure the readers will enjoy the ’51 Thoughts From Vivek Hattangadi”.
