Review: Gandhi: An autobiography

Gandhi: An autobiography by Mahatma Gandhi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a difficult book to read in the sense that Gandhi is too modest to list down his qualities. So, you have to figure out on your own how those qualities are developing as he ages. You will get to know how Gandhi formed his opinions and belief. You may disagree with the ideology of Gandhi but you will definitely appreciate his journey.

Even if you don't want to read this book, read the preface of this book. I was sold on the preface part. Why does a "Father of the Nation" have truth in his autobiography title when he is known in world for non-violence or freedom from slaves?
I read this book in 2017 over a period of 4 months by reading 10 pages every day. By not binge reading, I was able to appreciate a lot of subtle things about Gandhi's life. Before reading this book, I had a negative stance on Gandhi and i always thought that he is overrated. But I was way wrong. I think he is highly underrated. (especially his spiritual journey).

Review: Lying

Lying by Sam Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I had read the rule 8 of 12 rules for life -" Tell the truth or at least don't lie". So, I was fascinated by this topic which we certainly ignore in our lives. After reading this book, I at least have 10-12 reasons to not lie. I hope I will become more truthful at least to myself.
Some reasons being
1. By lying to one person, we potentially spread falsehood to many others.
2. You create multiple images in your head that consume a lot of mental energy/time and may offset the immediate comfort provided by lying. ( Maintaining mental accounting of lies.)
3. Do not maintain friendships where you have to lie to cancel plans or abide to popular opinion.
4. Honesty is a gift we give to ourselves and to others.

You probably can read the popular quotes of this book and skip this book which is provided free by author.
