The Secrets of Inspired Living by Amit Ghildiyal is a brilliant self-help book. Running around 140 pages with short and easy-to-read 20 chapters, this book is indeed has the substance to transform any ordinary life into extraordinary one. In our life, a time comes when we either feel stagnant or demotivated despite putting best efforts, at this time proper guidance and mentoring can transform our lives. This book is one such classic cult that has the power to bring that essential transformation.


Amit has taken care of not to confuse the readers, the book is well segmented and it comes to readers easily, layer by layer. The book opens with the chapter ‘Creating your Destiny’. It talks about what it all goes into creating our destiny. It is not by a chance; rather one has to pull it. Success is not Overnight – provides very insightful coverage on success equation. After the end of every chapter, the book puts it own summary cum commentary, such as:

Inspired living says that when undying passion to achieve something significant coupled with hard work rendezvous with a specific moment in time, luck manifests. In other words our destiny is our own making. We are the sole creators of our luck.

Initial chapters of the book focus on the ‘Grit’ factor of our life that are majorly responsible for ossifying our beliefs and subsequently life onwards. Health, destiny making, attitude, age, fears – all are covered fantastically –especially the chapter on fears is great, it figures out the types of fears and how one can win.

In most of the chapters, there runs a pattern which makes the readers comfortable with the book while getting into the insights of personal transformation. For instance, the author puts short story, and then what to do and how to do. It is quite helpful, in fact this pattern makes every chapter distinguished and accessible at any time.

The narrative of the book with middle chapters is more on pragmatic aspects like relationships, goals, habits, time, etc. As the book chugs to the end, there comes coverage on spiritual aspects. So, in a sense, the book provides A to Z about personal transformation. We would suggest the readers to read the book with their comfortable pace and makes the notes for future reference.

The tone of the book is so engaging and uplifting that at one point of time you may feel it as a fresh breathe of air. Since due to Covid pandemic, things are halted, and people gone into depression.

This is a powerful book, able to change and transform any life. It not only guides but also takes you in that direction.

Talking about content structure and narration, the author did his best to keep the engagement alive, and the same is evident by involving short stories in most of the chapters. All in all, a good book with a rational outlook towards the life.
