Book Review: Finding Your G-Spot in Life by Geetika Saigal

You must have come across many self-help books teaching tricks and tips about life; they exaggeratedly talk about life or in short how to lead a good and prosperous life or how to become rich by the shortest method. You have had enough of that stuff; the sameness of the self-help books bored you to the tears.


Well, Finding Your G-Spot in Life by Geetika Saigal is also a self-help book, but contrary to your past reading experience, it has a different appeal and perspective. In the right capacity, this soul-stirring book has the power to inspire millions of lives on this planet.

Putting it openly, two major highlights of this book are: it is full of newness and it is not a thick 500+ page book.

As in the case of self-help books, by the time you reach midway, the book seems to be drifting towards only one point. Here the point is that keeping a self-help book balanced is indeed a great skill, other than writing. Well, with Geetika’s book, you will find everything well-proportioned. She has provided thought-provoking quotes to support her content and conveyed the information chapter by chapter; given DIY for self-evaluation and incidents from her life make the book more relatable to readers.

There are many takeaways from the book. The most inspiring one is about passion: if you fail to find passion, then live your life passionately. The book, in short, helps you to identify ‘You’ as a person in life. What’s the real ‘You’? The ‘Me’ factor is soaring like anything. Having a meaningful life is more valuable than seeking happiness in every action you do, rather happiness is a by-product. If the concept of happiness keeps you sad and inhibited, well go nowhere and stick to this book.

You may say anything, but the book is not warts and all – lecturing about moral values and blah…blah. It teaches us, above anything us, how to be real ‘You’ despite going through aspects like family & peer pressure, rat race, fulfilling desires on EMIs and so on. The author has stepped forward from its comfort zone and challenged the conventional and traditional sayings, for instance, maybe, it is not about the light at the end of the tunnel, but the lights we light as we journey through the tunnel. Look at the audacity, the quote is good and relevant, but at the same time contrary to its popularity.

Do-it-for-Yourself exercises help you to see beyond the image that you see in the mirror. The best is ‘The Shower Power’. When you clear the clutter, the noises cease, the voices fade away; all you hear then is you. The message from the power shower is indeed powerful. It lets you drown in peace and tranquility, no clutters.

You may get away from the book, you may forget its content, but the thoughts and quotes offered in the book are going to stay with you for a longer time. Though the book is full of many awe-inspiring quotes and thoughts, but this one truly tries to conjure up the overall theme of the book:

Don’t ask yourself, “What should I do with my life?”  Instead, ask yourself, “What should I do with my time? What should I do today?”

This book may not make you a larger-than-life superhero, but a hero in your own life, for sure.

Poem Summary: Where The Mind Is Without Fear by Rabindranath Tagore

Poem by Rabindranath Tagore: Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. Short Summary: This poem is written by Rabindranath Tagore during pre-independence days, when India was a colony of the British.
