Description:
Understanding and the conscious application of behavioural processes is vital for joyful living. Most of these processes operate at a level below our awareness, yet they influence as well as control our behaviour. When they operate below our awareness,our lives are driven and we are reactive to a variety of stimuli that affect us. When we understand the dynamics of these processes, we can intervene consciously and make choices about a variety of options that open up before us. This understanding has the power to set us free. Hence the importance of this book.
These articles were written in the past 10 years or so and incorporate my understanding and the insights generated while I practiced as a behavioural science professional with individuals, teams and organisations. These insights were eye-openers for me as well. Some of these processes, I discovered, were not available anywhere in the literature of behavioural science but were highly practical and application-oriented.
I am motivated to discover these processes underlying our behaviour in all kinds of settings, intra or interpersonal, group or community-level interactions. The reason for this is that these processes have eternal validity; the golden rule (Don’t do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you) was valid when Jesus gave it and will be valid 2,000 years hence or even beyond. Most of the processes shared here fall in this category as human nature has not changed much since the dawn of human civilisation, despite a huge amount of technological progress.
One great insight that emerges from my discoveries is that the nature behind these processes, which designed or created them, is ultra-intelligent, compassionate and good. It is not at all evil; in fact it is evil that gave humankind the very concept of evil! We may not understand a lot of processes that govern our lives and hence give them a random causation or even say they are evil in origin because they hurt us. I am, however, extremely optimistic about life and am confident that whoever gives his/her attention and energy to understanding the mind and utilises these learnings is bound to have a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.

Description:
This book is about self empowerment principles based on vast experience of the author in the field of Behavioural and Sensitivity training.The book elaborates on taking responsibility, managing feelings, spirituality and self actualization based on fundamental structure of personality comprising id, ego, superego and witnessing consciousness.
What
others have said about the book:
Modern man is influenced more by the visible and empirical
achievements and ignores the invisible but essentially more
valuable aspects like relationships, loyalty, spirituality and
the like. This book beautifully highlights the path to growth
in this direction. It should be in the reading list of every
management practitioner and student.
I have enjoyed reading the book more so because it is most unusual and an intimate account of how a person has traveled through an arduous journey through life to seek his own identity
This book highlights the need of individual efforts to attain growth. The author has raised issues related to self-growth and shares his experiences to deal with them
There is no dearth of books on Self
Development and personal growth but this book is different
from all. The elixir of ancient Indian wisdom has been
uniquely blended with the modern Behavioural Science knowledge
to enrich and satisfy one’s logical, emotional and spiritual
inquisitiveness. The narration of personal experiences of the
author has added to its authenticity and facilitates better
understanding. A treasure for seekers of personal growth and
self actualization- a sincere effort to experience the world
more positively and making it a better. I am sure this book
will rejoice many seekers.
Book
Review by Ishwar Dayal, Former Founder Director, IIM
Lucknow
Is our destiny in our hands or are we driven by others, or do
we wait for God to take care of us? How does one find
happiness and be at peace with oneself? Such questions occur
to many in life. However, most of us live with such questions
but the author of this book went beyond raising concerns and
looked for answers. The book describes his experiences to
confront these questions and his journey to seek his identity.
In this journey he does refer to ideas and concepts to explain
or in some way highlight his experiences that either support
or differ from traditional knowledge. For example, the author
believes that two important aspects of Indian personality are
feelings and spirituality. These aspects are an important part
of Indian family life. In this respect the orientation of a
person in the Eastern World is different from the Western.
In the second chapter the author has emphasized that the
exercise of being oneself requires that a person should take
charge of his own life rather than blame others for his
misfortune and difficulties. The third chapter is an extension
of this theme to suggest that it is easy to rationalize
one’s failures. Success is achieved through one’s own
efforts and by believing in himself or herself. Chapter four
discusses the ways the author has been able to “work towards
personal growth." Apart from meditation , the author benefited
most by two kinds of inputs : i) reviewing as a habit the
events of the day in a diary and learning from this
experience, and ii) special attention and serious note of
feedback from others, including role models.
Chapter five and the remaining chapters are concerned with
several aspects of self development. He believes that
recognition of feelings is essential for development. It is
also necessary to analyze feelings like anger and hostility,
etc. and make conscious effort to overcome them. Such negative
feelings can be impediment to one’s own growth and for
achieving a state of self actualization. Continuing growth
depends a great deal on one’s acquiring a positive attitude
to learn and develop sensitivity to clues that ordinarily we
fail to note. In this process the author believes those group
processes or what is termed as group dynamics contribute a
great deal toward “empowerment of the self”. The last
three chapters in a sense are different from the earlier nine
chapters. These chapters have to do with what the author has
described in chapter one, the spiritual self. He believes that
spiritual growth is necessary for quality living . He believes
that Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra can be applied to bring about
qualitative change in one’s life.
The strength of the book is that it suggests and also provides
hints about how an individual can enhance self-awareness . And
these methods are illustrated in steps by personal journey
towards understanding the self. Those Persons who are
concerned with questions such as “Who am I” and “What am
I” would find the book useful. The attempt of the author to
support certain concepts of growth with his own experiences
from life is useful. However, the author appears to find a
great deal of time to devote to “self-development." Many
people in the humdrum of living may not be able to arrange
their time the way the author was able to do.
I found the book extremely useful. This is different both in
content and treatment from many books that reflect on the
subject of this volume. The book could be useful to students,
teachers, managers and all those who seek ways to understand
themselves and grow.
