This book is a nonfiction wrapped in a fiction. In India, most of the ancient literature also used this kind of setting. A small entertaining story is weaved around the more important topics. The important part is always explaining some core issues of our existence. But they are always presented in a question-answer manner. So a need for this discussion is created in the story; and then instead of just giving a lecture, an entertaining dialogue ensues. The same tradition is followed in this book as well. The various topics of jealousy, ego, attachment, contentment, doubt, illusion, and happiness are raised as part of the story. Free on Kindle.
