Review – So moving on the review, the next book that
I have could get both my eyes and hands on to was “Jasmine Builds on Shifting
Sands: A Self-help Fiction”. These days indeed most titles are very catchy and
this one definitely stands out!
Before I begin with the review, let me start by saying that I
have read umpteen books on self improvement motivation etc. This is the first
time I had a book written by Sanjay Desai in my hands. I started reading with
mixed feelings not knowing what to expect.
At the centre of the book is Jasmine's (chief protagonist) journey
of making it as a successful model in the cut-throat world of fashion. This is her
tale of victory and failure. Through
this journey of ups and downs one gets a realistic view on how life plays out
for most of us. Sanjay has to his credit highlighted the need to have ‘anchors’
or ‘mentors’ or whatever else we may chose to call them.
Through a hybrid learning, Sanjay intends us to discover the
following:
- Declutter your mind - Keep negativity at bay and gain more clarity
- Reach Clarity for your goals - Focus, prioritise, and keep your eye on the prize
- Take charge of your dreams - Become the master of your journey
- Learn to Configure Outcomes - Chart out your own path to success
All of the above is coupled with the following bottom line
message from Sanjay:
As the world copes with the impact of a global pandemic,
uncertainty continues to plague us. Despite it all, Jasmine is here to tell you
that it is possible to rise to the top, even when everything seems to be going
against you. Fulfil your dreams and manifest your desires - don’t let the world
derail you from achieving your goals. Jasmine did it, and so can you
Overall, the book is an easy and a great read. The key message
has been presented very clearly. I would recommend this to everyone. As always, you read,
you decide.
