Everyday Dharma by Suneel Gupta. It’s a quick read (180 pages) providing practical thinking to use Dharma in our everyday professional and personal life.
My top 3 take aways:
1. I enjoyed the Indian context and real life examples of how to enjoy life while carving a path as it comes - “follow the compass not the map”
2. Concept of “executing in uncertainty” while taking bets which are reversible (most are, if we look deeper). We don’t need all the data points and be 100% sure, as long as we are directinally correct, just keep moving.
3. Magic of a missed goal - it’s okay to miss a goal, it’s okay to not do well in a job you just took and thought it would be game changer when you took it. It’s still important to try and follow your calling as it will unlock something new which we would have never thought of without trying it.
Also, he shares his journey of traveling multiple paths of being a father, an entrepreneur, a product manager, running for office, and a speech writer. Growing up in India, changing career was a not even a conversation in most houses. Stories like these inspire me to keep exploring
