One book about to be published:
Laughter Paradigm: Having fun and the psychology behind
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I am in a high performing job where stakes are high. I often come across people who are now too busy to laugh and have fun.
I’m like: “Hey, you are making a living……..remember – ‘living’?”
Humor has several facets and advantages, and a person who knows how to laugh usually turns out to be a winner in life. That is my inspiration behind writing this book.
While on one hand it is hilarious and meant to make you laugh, on the other, it also talks about the psychological nuances behind humor.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write only when I am out at sea, sailing. The sea inspires me.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I have been inspired by the works of Richard Wiseman, famous psychologist and writer.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a book called……..well, let’s keep that name on hold for now.
It’s a book on quirky management tactics – tricks which you won’t hear about. They come from my personal experience. I shall be advocating bad memory and controlled anger as some of the ways to be a winner in life. I will talk about the ways how you can turn your biggest weaknesses into your biggest strengths. I will talk about principles taken from the ancient Sanskrit Scriptures of India which tell us things more valuable than any modern Management school can teach us.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I felt Facebook is a very effective method to reach many readers for Free, but I am yet to find out. The launch of my first book will tell me a lot.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Not really. I am a New Author myself and need all the advice I can get!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
You cannot fool yourself and get away with it for long.
What are you reading now?
Richard Wiseman’s : “The Luck Factor”
What’s next for you as a writer?
I wish to be a published author and get credited to change some lives hopefully by sharing my experiences.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I actually am stranded on an island – the ship – for about six months each year and I normally bring with me Richard Wiseman books.
But judging by the sense you mean,
I guess I will bring with me: “How to get off an Island” or “How to build a raft”
