Do you think there is something beyond a leader?

The Midas Touch by Dr. Sheetal Nair is a book that explores the world beyond a leader. Inspired from the Greek Mythology and Indian Vedas, Dr. Nair explores the way a normal person can transform into a champion, much like the fabled Midas Touch. This book talks about how one can acquire the expertise to forge leaders. The author has delved deep into my interactions with inspiring leaders/mentors who have carved a niche for themselves & benchmarked their best practices for you to imbibe. There is a lot of Vedic & Greco-Roman cultural influence which you shall find in this book, as it draws a parallel between ancient knowledge & its modern interpretation. Each of the 22 Chapters should be perceived as a tool & this book aspires to serve as an instrument to learn techniques to develop leaders & forge them into champions.

Usually non-fiction is a genre that tends to be boring and with a lot of jargon and long chapters, which is not the case here. The chapters are short and crisp with a quick takeaway with each of them. The main points are presented as bullet points which help in retention as well as making notes, if needed. The strategies outlined in the book are quite simple, yet interesting and can be imbibed quite easily in our lives. There are no sermons as to follow a specific path, but a guidance to find your own self. The book has some very inspiring quotes by various people and are placed at strategic locations. There are a few editing errors in the book, nothing which cannot be removed in another round of editing.

Overall, a short and interesting read on the concept of the alchemical process of becoming a champion and improving each day.

The Midas Touch walks away with a 4.25/5 from me.
