Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Story
The book draws its inspiration from stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy of enduring pain or adversity with perseverance and resilience. Stoics focus on the things they can control, let go of everything else, and turn every new obstacle into an opportunity to get better, stronger, tougher. As Marcus Aurelius put it nearly 2000 years ago: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

The Dalai Lama, at his most compassionate and outspoken, here elaborates and deepens his vision for the nonreligious way. Transcending the mere "religion wars", he outlines a system of secular ethics that gives tolerant respect to religion, those that ground ethics in a belief in God and an afterlife, and those that understand good actions as leading to better states of existence in future lives. And yet, with the highest level of spiritual and intellectual authority, the Dalai Lama makes a claim for what he calls a third way.

So much health info to digest.
There’s an art to living well and this book holds the secret to it. Yes, I’m now picturing a kinder and a calmer me. I used to think that’s already impossible as I’m also aging and with all problems our society face and the insecurities we have. However, giving this book the time to meditate on it gave me the answers to my problems. What remains now is: to act on it.

Reverberates across time and age
The whole concept of stoicism is about emotional management. The stories of the Titans helped me to explore on life’s goodness and stop being a slave to negativity. These ideas, although simple, reverberate across time and age.
