Gurmeet Dhanowa –
Having known Samir for thirty‑five years, and worked closely with him for a significant part of that time, I’ve had the privilege of watching these principles lived out in his everyday life. For me “More was caught than taught”. It is a joy to see them now gathered into these two books. Each chapter is simple to read yet prompts deep reflection and honest questions about your own life. A must‑read if you want your life to truly count.
Sumit Bhosale –
Staying There is a crisp book. I like the honest confession in the ‘why I wrote this book’. These Nuggets are precious ones to live by- a reflection of what we all do or don’t do most of our lives. We still keep influencing the world around us. The nuggets that resonate with me were handling finances, staying relational and honouring parents. I liked a practical tip in managing anger bursts…. and the author reiterating: ‘Make your expectations known while knowing that they may not be met in others always, allowing them the necessary freedom and a breathing hole through these relationships.’
It calls us all to introspect at every important milestone using these nuggets as mirrors of our unclothed reflections.
So, accolades to Mr. Samir for stepping up a few notches above his previous book, Getting There.
Benny Thomas –
These books teach us first to love ourselves in a wholesome manner and the positive consequence is we can inspire those around us to love themselves
They have the potential to not just change individuals that we impact but the potential to change societies and cultures.
It is in the practice of its lessons the aroma of change radiates.
Samir’s personal and other illustrations tells the reader the folly of going for only knowledge. But the skill is the opportunity to practice these principles so that they become the reader’s only nature.
Wow a self-awareness seekers delight. The legacy they leave is rich.
The best way forward in life is not just getting but “Staying there”
