INTUITIVELY RATIONAL

About the Book

This book speaks about leadership.  It’s woven like a story around one man’s (Mike) personal journey filled with loneliness, anger and arrogance about his own capacities. An act of providence brings him face to face with two enigmatic people, Bodhi and Athena and what follows is an intriguing and an emotional roller coaster ride for Mike. The interaction is far from easy as he keeps bouncing between extreme emotions of guilt, sadness, regret, sheer joy, euphoria and enlightenment. 
As a reader, you may identify yourself with Bodhi, Athena or Mike or a composite blend of all three personalities. Throughout the book, you will find only subtle hints to facilitate a process of new actions, new outcomes and hence new learning. Fearless leadership, being comfortable with ambiguity, and creating a meaningful life are all states whose switches are controlled by our belief system alone. “Intuitively Rational could possibly become your flashlight in the dark and a reliable companion as you move along your very own ‘Figuring-Out’ journey.”
