Before we
proceed with the review of Survival, we would like to introduce Anuj Tikku to
you. He is a well-known personality in Bollywood who has worked with many
celebrities including Shahrukh Khan. Other than acting, he is also into
blogging – his travel blog (www.tikkustravelthon.in) is quite famous for the
content which he gathers by travelling across the world.
Initially,
Survival is a personal story, but later on it, more likely, takes the form of a
self-help book which can help you to overcome many problems in life such as
depression, unhappiness, etc. Tikku starts this book with his personal story
where he talks about the death of his father and how it affected him.
Soon after the
introduction, Tikku brilliantly covered 'How to Overcome Trauma' in four parts.
In these short chapters he has given many points that seem imminent for the
people struggling to come out of any sort of trauma that life has given them
from time to time. Through these pointers the author sounded a bit like a
saint, but you cannot neglect their veracity. Whether you accept or not, you
need to heed on these points.
Other than
coming out of his trauma content, Tikku has some of his personal anecdotes to
share with us, like glimpses of charity abroad and so on.
The book does
not follow any chronicles or point-wise system, it seems like whatever matters
to author to calm him down from distressed, he has put in there. As you read,
you will literally discover that Tikku has subtle inclination for Buddhism,
which is all the more evident when he explains the four novel truths.
The book reads
like posts from blog(s), thus it’s easy to grasp all content and understand in
one go. It is a fine blend of spirituality and self-help. Some of the topics
sound out of context, but given the fact that the book is written by a rising
blogger all is fine in the end.
Final verdict:
there is lot of stuff that you can discover from this book which will help you
in becoming a good person in longer run.
