Review by emidio125 -- Underdog Thinking by Atul Vir
Underdog Thinking by Atul Vir is an autobiographical, inspirational and instructional book that narrates the story of an Indian immigrant who moved to the United States of America with the dream of living the American dream.
Atul Vir started as an auditor in Africa after being hired right after he left college for a UK corporation that had affiliates in Nigeria, Africa. After working for years in Africa, Atul Vir decided to move to America in the pursuit of the American dream. However, he failed to get a job and decided to start his own business. And that was the beginning of his adventure into entrepreneurship, which was a journey embraced with successes and failures along the way.
This book is suitable for entrepreneurs and people who wish to become one since it teaches the real definition of entrepreneurship. So if you are an entrepreneur or if you are planning to be one you should read this book. Because I believe it will give you the needed knowledge for you to succeed, it will teach the things to avoid while developing your business, it will teach you to be prepared in case you face bad days while doing business, which I am sure will happen, and many other things.
In this book, you also learn that success in business doesn't come at an easy cost, Atul Vir is a risk-taker, he put everything he had on the line because of a belief, an idea that he thought was going make him make a lot of money. However, although the idea he had worked, he faced a lot of problems to succeed. So, whoever wishes to become a successful entrepreneur must be willing to take risks, and have a deep belief in what they are doing or in what they're investing their money. Moreover, through the story of the author, we can also learn that entrepreneurs must persevere; everything can happen in business, either good or bad things.
Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the author for the way he wrote the book. Although it's a non-fiction story, it does look like one. The way the storyline was developed, the chapter's organization and style used. They all resemble a literary story. And that makes this story more interesting. I also liked to quotes the author included at beginning of each chapter. However, based on the topic of the book, which is to teach people to do underdog thinking, I felt that the author ended up advertising his own company and products with this book. And that was the only thing that deviated a bit from the theme.
The book was exceptionally edited and for that, I congratulate the author. I also did not find any mistakes in the book. And for that, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars .
