Most of us spend our lives chasing our dreams – happiness, love, good health, financial freedom, security and more.
But can we really have it all?
On a cool November morning, Gaur Gopal Das arrives in Jaisalmer to attend his friend Rakesh Arora’s son’s three-day-long wedding festivities where he meets the Arora clan and the soon-to-be bride’s family. As the wedding day approaches and an unexpected visitor makes an appearance, he observes the storm that threatens to tear apart the two families.
In the course of his conversations with his hosts and their guests, through his unassuming presence, he unearths the secret fears and desires they guard fiercely in their hearts and offers them steadying counsel even as he reveals his own journey through life’s vicissitudes.
You Can Have It Allis Gaur Gopal Das’s most personal and profound narrative yet, a captivating book that presents a transformative and radical path for those of us caught between ambition and fulfilment, between striving and being. Marked by his iconic humour, deep empathy and gentle wisdom, it urges us to understand how perspective shapes our reality, learn to recognize and overcome our blind spots, and develop the self-compassion we need to better navigate this beautiful, complicated thing we call life.
