Outbound: My First Steps to an Inward Journey

How often do we come across contemporarily relevant reads? Well, Nitisha Sethia has struck all chords pretty well.The narration of the book has a perfectly sprinkled humour making it light and an easy read. Yoga, travel and personal experiences have had a multi-dimensional impact on the author. As the reader progress along the book, one can notice the organic change that takes place in the author.This is a book that a lot of youngsters are going to find a part of themselves in it. Partly, for the spiritual growth, ambition, and the adventurous life that most of us only wish to endeavour upon the range of activities that the author does. It takes courage on behalf of a person to pursue the joyous life that one seeks, to give up on the monetary comforts and walk along with ones interests. The author learns and grows into a much more complete person by the end.Philosophical and interesting, are two components that one can find here.

Loved the book, for its simplicity, for its veracity, for its flow! Not an avid reader myself, I read the entire book in a day, and Nitisha's journey kept me going! Read this, and you'll find yourself trying to apply the Yoga techniques on yourself, or convincingly explaining your spouse/parents why you agree with her cent percent.I've painted each chapter in my mind, imagined how Nitisha would have lived the last 4 years, and somewhere deep down in my heart, have started thinking if this book is actually the "cause" for a larger "effect" in my life too! :)All in all, it has the potential for becoming a life changing book for yearning hearts out there!

Outbound is one of the most free-flowing books which beautifully brings together the linkage between our external and internal world. This book will motivate all those people who feel stuck in their current situation and need that source of inspiration to pursue what they truly feel deeply for. The author has done a really good job in keeping the storyline very relatable, while at the same time engaging the reader in some truly amazing sports that not many would have explored so far in such depth. Every chapter has an inspiring message for someone!

Very well written life story by this very young author. The way she internalises every lesson from her yoga class to master every outdoor adventure sport and the maturity with which she explains the connection between the two is amazing. Nitisha is a thinker, a true observer of nature, and an adventurist par excellence. Outbound truly showcases how much joy is there in experiencing every element of nature and how it helps to discover oneself fully. A book that you would finish in a single sitting.

While being a fun roller coaster of adrenaline and exhilaration it simultaneously pulls at your hearts strings and makes you experience emotions which are wonderfully awesome for the most part but also acknowledge some of the realistic lows that come with sacrifice , grit , determination and choosing an alternative path less trodden :) Nitisha takes you along on a journey to various slices of Paradise . A book you can re-read like your favorite film. Real, raw and honest

Let me start by saying, it’s the most relatable book I’ve ever read which means it’s also deeply inspiring.The writing feels like hearing a story from a friend. I had goosebumps countless times, somewhere relating to the experiences and other times wanting to be right there in the moment. Going to keep it at my bedside to get inspired time and again.

I'm happy to the fact that I've met Niteesha during her days in Varkala(Surfing) ; little did I know that there's goona be a book about it!It's amazing the way details have been penned and value been added to every event. This book has definitely motivated me to focus more towards nature sports.I would recommend this book for anyone who is looking for a reason why one should travel & take up nature sports.Amazing work Niteesha. Looking forward to read more adventures!!

By sharing her journey - both ups and downs, Nitisha has shown how determinism and perseverance can help one achieve their dreams and goals. What makes the book even more interesting is Nitisha's correlations of her learnings of yoga and its philosophy with her modern outlook and everyday life. It's a must read for anyone who is tired and unhappy with their current life and has even the slightest urge to find their true passion.

Outdoor sports and yoga are a must for many and through her experiences it's easy to see why as she takes you through grade 3 whitewater rafting, ocean diving the caribbean with sharks, freediving in egypt, paragliding and skiing in the Himalayas, and surfing along the coast of India; only to make you understand that work-life balance is key to a happy life and there are always hundreds of outdoor activities nearby.It should become a movie !
