If one book can change your life, this is it.

One summer afternoon, Viraj, a food delivery guy, brings lunch for an author named Chetan. He is late and appears to be in distress. When Chetan asks him what the matter is, Viraj breaks down.

‘I hate my life. My career is going nowhere. My girlfriend left me. I have no future,’ he says.

The author offers Viraj a deal. ‘I can fix this for you. Come back every day, when I order lunch. Each day, I will tell you one secret I’ve learnt about life.’
