Discover the self within as you go through the pages in the book      “It`s Me!” The book touches upon different facets of life. Some of the areas explored are - Finding happiness from within, not external circumstances; the central role of the mind in everything we think, say and do; handling stress; the importance of values; the necessity of staying connected for better relationships; leadership style and qualities; the power of the brain and memory; lessons gained during and from the pandemic; the need for aiming high; problem solving skills; the right choice of learning and mode of education. These and many more articles have been penned by the authors basically to awaken within everyone who reads the book that they themselves are responsible for everything in their life - It`s Me - finally it is I who am responsible for my life, my behaviour, my growth, my relationships, my mind power and my aims and achievements. I can work on them and reach wherever I want to. A book worth reading, pondering over, internalizing and sharing with others.

A book written in simple language and easy to get connected with. A book relevant to all and at all times, especially, when we wonder and ask ourselves, many a time, “Why me?” - the book just might help in understanding that.
