Priyanka Chopra, Rishi Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Gul Panang all had been raving about it. So, I had to see if that was a PR stuff or was there really some substance in the book. I read Management guru Arindam Chaudhuri's latest book ‘Discover The Diamond In You’ at the airport. The book is positioned as a 59-minute guide to success. The book has a foreword written by Shah Rukh Khan and has been released in 14 languages simultaneously in India.
Honestly, I am disappointed by the contents in this book. The first book "Count your chickens" was reasonably okay but this one does not have any meat in it. There is no story telling in the book, the contents have not been thought through. If the book positions itself as a self help book, one is better off reading "You can Win" by Shiv Khera.
The author claims that this book is for the "common man". With about 100 odd pages in the book and a price of only 150 bucks, the book perhaps is for young minds who need some inspiration. The press release claimed that "the book is meant for those who are brave enough to 'be' the change they 'want to see'.. Using the diamond as a metaphor for human beings, the author has drawn parallels between the 4 Cs of a diamond and corresponds it to 9 qualities in human beings
I was not impressed or inspired.Read this book if you are stuck at the airport and bored. That is what I did!
