Publisher's Summary

The definitive new book from India’s number one business writer

Chanakya was one of the best strategic thinkers of the world. In the fourth century BC, he wrote the Arthashastra, an unrivalled political treatise that has since been used by leaders across the globe. In Inside Chanakya’s Mind, for the first time, Radhakrishnan Pillai, the best-selling author of Corporate Chanakya, will distill Chanakya’s age-old wisdom on how to think to the masses through his practical and innovative approach.

Overlaps in narration

There are overlaps and minor errors in narration towards the end. Not major obstructions though.

Overall, the book was just as I anticipated when I picked it up. An interpretation of Chanakya's ways of thinking. Give it a try. Worth it.

Great insights into what chanakya practiced

I enjoyed listening to the insights into mind and beliefs of the greatest kingmaker of India and arguably the world. Lots of practical tips on a variety of topic. There are some audio issue starting from chapter 8 till the last chapter. E.x 16 min into chapter 8 the words start repeating and/or some of them get cut.

hot air

The narrator is the only saving grace. It gets too repeatative that you get annoyed. The entire book can if written succinct will be condensed in 30 min. It is almost like a student who just studied one chapter in the entire syllabus and tried to sprinkle it with additional sheets in the exam.

Highly relevant learnings in modern day world

To begin with, thinking as an art is itself amazing thought. This book has triggered the necessity to be able to view problems as temporary challenges instead of being bogged down by them. The solution to most problems lies in the art of thinking :)
