Book Review: Die Now to Live Forever - Dr Sanjay Singh

This is a wonderful book for anyone who is suffering from a meltdown. I do not know how this book came in my recommendation but it was long due. It did help me a lot in overcoming my own fears and insecurities. Its a small read but very healthy one. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who is looking for some inspirational and change of thought sort of book to read.

My major take away from the book was self love. It is something we often forget to do. We try to be compassionate, we try to be kind, we try to be helpful but to others. We do not find the need to do that to ourselves. It is okay to be selfish in the process of self love. A person who can not love himself, can not love anyone else.

Also, there was one point that did not go down well with my conscience. The author considers the hunger for materialistic pleasure and luxuries the cause for our mental breakdown as there is no end to the lust for money. According to him this thirst never ends and aptly gives an example of Alexander the great. However his opinion about the philanthropist of our era does not do the justice. The author says once the wealthy have piled up all the money their hunger for fame and popularity arises and that is when they indulge in the act of philanthropy. Apart from this single page every thing else is absolutely worth digesting and implementing.
