Inside Chanakya's Mind: Aanvikshiki and the Art of Thinking

If you didn’t read this book then you are never going to change

A very good book book on thinking in different dimensions. Useful for management aspirants. It has only 212 pages not 288 pages as mentionedThank u R.Pillai sir for such wonderful book

I was excited to see this book; always have known Chanakya as a master tactician, etc.The book though is a major disappointment. Not sure how this book got any awards...It is badly written with disorganized prose. Each chapter's ideas are scattered all over. Uses mythology mixed in with extracts from the books written by Chanakya. Lots of post facto explanations.If you are trying to get a distilled version of Chanakya's philosophy, it is NOT in this book.After reading 2 chapters, I could only skim the rest to see if there were any pearls left in it. Could not find much.At the end - if you ask me to summarize what I learnt, I would be hard pressed to come up with something practically useful.

This book is about how Chanakya was thinking and practicing Aanvikshiki at his time. Anavikshiki is the Sanskrit word which means the science of thinking. This book tells how Chanakya had given so much importance to "thinking properly". Chanakya was of a thinking that thoughts are the action generator. So we should wisely think and plan before taking any action since we have to bear the consequences of the action taken. This book even tells how the leader should think. The author refers to Arthashastra which was written by Chanakya himself under the name of Kautilya. The author tells how Chanakya would think about every aspect of his king's kingdom. He even thought about how every king should think about his people and their need first because in the benefit of his people lies King's benefit. Chanakya even talked about Mitra(ally), ministers who give pieces of advice to kings, fortified cities, treasury and explains their importance with respet to Kings. He even told how King should behave with his people, how much he should sleep etc. By reading this book you will get to know about Chanakya's thinking process was i.e Anavikshiki. This book will be really helpful for management people. They can apply these principles which Chanakya spoke about 2400 years ago in modern times also. Really Chanakya was great.

This is a book for the young minds for those who wanted to achieve something in life , but don't know how to and where to start .The fact is that the one who understands himself first, knows his way to conquer.This fabulously book helps u to attain self discovery and teaches us how to see the world in Chanakya's way . You can go for it and I am damn sure u wont regret ✌
