Acharya Prashant discusses his daily non-negotiable routines, which include reviewing organizational reports and reading before sleep. He emphasizes that he cannot retire for the day without checking these reports, even if it requires waking others up. He identifies the Upanishads as the most significant influence on his thinking, noting that he reads and teaches them repeatedly, specifically mentioning his current work on the Katha Upanishad. He also mentions reading 'The Forgotten Book of Wu Hsin', which he describes as a Chinese equivalent to the Ribhu Gita focused on non-duality.
