Wisdom by Arun Mago is a thought-provoking non-fiction work that delves into various aspects of life, offering insightful reflections and practical advice. The book begins by acknowledging the influential role of parents and friends as our primary teachers, setting the stage for a journey through the complexities of responsibility, rational decision-making, productivity, etc. The following chapter talks about responsibility. The author expands the word into eleven words and goes on to explain each of these words. He goes on to conclude that working on these eleven characteristics will make us more responsible people. Similarly, in the next chapter, 'Better Half', he expands the words wife and hubby. Many more chapters dealing with logic, beauty, black money, cell phone, courtesy, etc. are included.

One of the book's strengths lies in the author's approach to defining each quality. Although each chapter is quite brief, the author's ability to compress complex concepts into a few words has to be appreciated. The exploration of productivity versus being busy is particularly resonant in today's fast-paced world, offering valuable guidance on how to enhance one's efficiency and effectiveness. He challenges the reader to break free from the confines of modern life's "boxes"—be it cell phones, cars, or offices.

I particularly liked the chapter on differentiation between a job and a business, which emphasizes the importance of taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone for entrepreneurial success. He also emphasizes the resilience required to navigate life's challenges, drawing on personal anecdotes and observations to illustrate the transformative power of perseverance and adaptability. I liked how he used pictures, photos, and illustrations in almost every chapter, although in black and white.

I found no negatives in this book. Throughout the book, Mago encourages readers to cultivate positive thinking, patience, and a hunger for continuous improvement. The book was professionally edited, and there were no spelling or grammatical errors.

The book can be rated five out of five stars since there are no negative aspects at all. This 123-page book is a quick and easy read. I would recommend this book for anyone seeking personal and professional growth and for those interested in self-help and motivational books.
