Most relevant

Simply great.
This book gives deep insights on - why you do what you do.

The writer, who is also the narrator, has done a fabulous job both in presenting and narrating the book. He has tried to answer the questions that puzzle us with surprising ease. questions such as:
what are we made up of?
why do we fall prey to our desires?
what is consciousness?
what separates us from other individuals and species?
who is sitting behind the wheels of our conscious?
and many more.

The enthusiasm of the author is clearly seen by the way he narrates which imparts character and life to the book, and its a great experience to listen to this master piece.

But beware, once started you won't be able to stop.
