Food to think

Reading is quintessential for development of human brain. To help people who are struggling to start reading, I have summarized few books which everyone should read. They range from diverse topics so that everyone can find their choice in it.

• The alchemist: If one fictional book which everyone should read that must have to be the alchemist. It is a love story in which how the hero encounters various difficulties of life and in the end reaches the desired point. Each and everyone will find herself in the protagonist and his struggles will remind very much of our lives. There is a concept of omen in alchemist which means that if you are bound to do something, universe will conspire so that it happens. Corollary if you are bound to read alchemist, this article will be the reminder from universe.

• Bhagavat geeta: this book is the most influential self help book ever written in the history of mankind. It is a section of world largest and most voluminous epic mahabharata. This book in my opinion has been read by almost all the great personalities be it Einstein or Oppenheimer who quoted the verse of gita when he developed atomic bomb. It tells you about various yoga of life. There are four of them and all will make you a better individual. I have become a better person by reading it multiple times I hope you do it too.

• Arthashastra: this book is written by kautilya he was the strategist of a great empire. He made a young boy chandragupta from a student to the undisputed emperor who went on to defeat descendants of Alexander. He took the revenge of the insult, when the current emperor humiliated kautilya, a teacher by profession of not worthy of anything. Kautilya proved that emperor wrong by showing how a teacher can transform generations. Book is a must for all politicians.

• Art of war: This great book from tsun zu is a war classic. No book on War has been read more than this book. It describes how a commander should behave and control his men. It also talk about war by any means, it is followed religiously by Chinese policymakers. It is also a manual of leadership I feel.

• The prince: This book is on statecraft. This book was written by machiavelli. It was written for prince to learn and understand how to rule. But I think it should be read by each and every individual. It has some great lessons for budding leaders. It also make a person aware about the realities of life.

In the first tranche I have emphasized on putting heavyweights but if you ever read them You will be much better off than before.
