Coincidentally, this is precisely the objective of my recent read, “The Peace Approach” by Alok Tripathi. The book aspires to help us grasp the essence of happiness and incorporate its practice into our daily lives.

Real Unreal Cosmos Saurabh Gupta Book

Real Unreal Cosmos | Saurabh Gupta | Book Review

Real Unreal Cosmos is not fantastical. It does not play with imaginary ideas. It opens up the facts behind some myths and the logic behind certain kinds of reasoning to drive home the point that humans are not as powerful and as ever-lasting, as they think themselves to be.
This makes the reading experience thoroughly humbling and deeply informative. The book has a seamless mix of science, philosophy, myth, and logical reasoning.
