The book, Selfie of Success, authored by Burra Venkatesham, is a literary triumph. It fills the mind with positive and inspiring affirmations that can motivate an individual to take the path of success. Venkatesham’s masterpiece is above and beyond most books in the same genre.
So far, the ‘success books’ spoke only on achieving the desired visions and planned goals regarding wealth, prosperity, fame, establishment of business empires, big positions; or tips to achieve anything you want in life; completing the objectives; reaching the career goals; accumulating abundance; the do’s and dont’s etc. But this book speaks about success in 360 degrees, which is its USP. It encompasses all the angles of it, providing various insights and comprehensive perspective of the world of success. Everyone, who wants to reach success, should read it to know the unimaginable and fascinating aspects of it.
The book presents a holistic view of the success in a poetic and philosophical way, with fluid style. The aspirant cannot so far imagine what the side effects of success will be; and what the sins will be. The succeeding real life stories highlight each concept in a subtle way. It is the most comprehensive snapshot of what success is. It’s a book that broadens horizons for the reader right from page one. To conquer anything, one must first study every facet of it. Author and IAS officer Venkatesham has studied the illusive pattern of success and employed it in his personal life with incredible results. The book is unique in many ways. The book has stories of some well-known personalities from across the world — Mahatma Gandhi to Escobar, Jack Ma to RamojiRao, Oprah Winfrey to Michel Jackson, giving the reader greater insights.
It is compartmentalised well and the reader can either read it in one go or in segments, based on the interest or curiosity that the title of the segment arouses. The language is simple and easy to comprehend for all ages.
A must read for its lucid style and unique taking, as well as its comprehensiveness.
