Take practical examples from Life by Tomichan Matheikal and be clear

Practical examples from the past make life easier to understand and clear to much extent. Similarly, book reviews are the best way to connect a book with its readers. This is exactly what am I trying to do here. Life by Tomichan Matheikal is a well-researched piece of work that gives you time to pause and think about reality.

Practical examples that separate reality from illusions

Life is an ebook of facts and theories. You need patience and a clear mind to enjoy the topics. The author has worked hard to put his point in front of you and has given many relevant examples to support them.

The book starts with addressing life as absurd followed by the philosophy of Naranath Branthan. I found it interesting how the author categorises illusions as lifesavers. Illusions keep us engaged in activities we perform as motivational tools.

I am sure you will relate to the Bandwagons chapter too. It is a reality that we follow the trend, ritual or duties as bandwagons just because they exist. We don’t question ourselves but we just blindly follow.

Many of sorrows in life are our own creations

I truly believe in this phrase. The author has explained it well with references to support that you create your own make-believe world. It is more in your thoughts than your actual life.

There are many good examples from psychologists Alfred Adler, Erik Erikson to name a few who keep you connected till the end.

Another favourite phrase from the book is “Intelligence alone is not enough if you want to be successful.”

Tatvamasi

This is one chapter that I agree with the most. Maybe because I am also reading different upnishads to understand life. The author has clearly mentioned a few of the facts from different vedas.

All in all, Life is a book that differentiates illusions from reality with proper facts and references to support them. The book cover is simple yet powerful that engulfs the whole universe in one frame.
