How
would you feel if you entered the cinema hall seeing the poster of a
Salman Khan film and instead of a blockbuster masala film, an
insipid government documentary was dished out on your face. You may
say this contingency is not likely to occur. Well something on the
similar lines happened when I picked up Listening for Well-Being
Conversations with People Not Like Us.
The
catchy title had increased my expectations. I wanted to learn to how
to listen to people who are not like me. That is exactly what the
title promised right. After skimming through the initial few pages, I
thought that perhaps the style of the writer was different from other
self-help books. But after reading further, I realized that I was
wrong.
The
author simply seems to have forgotten that a book is meant for the
readers. Absorbed and lost in his own days of planning commission, he
simply misses to forge any sort of connect with his readers.
This
book is neither a self-help book nor is it an interesting memoir.
Enter it at your own risk, is all that I can say.
