Self-knowledge is the most overlooked subject in our education systems worldwide, and the crisis humanity is going towards is a clear indicator of its absence. Without spiritual education, man lives without knowing himself or what he really needs, and is always at the mercy of situations and random events, blindly following the dictates of forces unknown to him.
In this book, Acharya Prashant meets students from IIMs, AIIMS, and other top institutions from all over India, and converses on various topics and themes around student life, career, academics, philosophy, and the importance of self-knowledge and spirituality. These discourses are an effort to restore the mind’s youthful, inquisitive spirit of enquiry, and an encouragement to actualize our deep yearning for fulfillment through a life of intelligence.
