More than a self-help manual: Why this book might shift your inner compass

These days, life doesn’t just move fast - it races. Between deadlines, daily pressures, and the quiet chaos of staying afloat, people often forget to look inward. We either charge ahead with a plan or stumble through with a vague sense of direction, hoping something will click. But rarely do we get a moment to sit still and ask: Am I really living the way I want to?

Pushkar Anand’s 'Manifest Your Infinite Riches' isn’t your typical self-help manual. It doesn’t dazzle with lofty promises or wrap you in fantasy. It doesn’t try to be thrilling, romantic, or dramatic. Instead, it is exactly what it claims to be: a guide - a quiet companion for those who are serious about building not just success, but balance. And not just money, but meaning.

Anand breaks life down into a four-part journey of self-discovery, drawing from experience, wisdom, and sharp insight. The book isn’t preachy; it’s practical. It speaks to those who are hungry for growth and ready to make smarter, more aligned choices in life. One of its core strengths is the way it talks about money - not as a goal, but as a tool. A part of life, not the heart of it.

There’s a section in the book that introduces readers to the six statues of money which is truly a metaphorical and methodical approach to financial wisdom. But what stands out more than the content is the intent: to help the reader understand how to let money serve them, not the other way around.

Anand doesn’t stop at advice. Throughout the book are exercises - some introspective, some action-based - all designed to help readers assess where they stand and where they’re headed. There are spaces to write, reflect, and track growth. It feels less like reading and more like engaging in a conversation with yourself.

And then there are the quotes — Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey, Helen Keller, Steve Jobs — woven in like threads of shared wisdom across time. Each quote isn’t just thrown in for flair; it’s expanded upon, contextualised, and made deeply relevant.

By the final chapters, the book turns into something quietly powerful. It leaves the reader with daily rituals and actionable practices, as well as simple, doable things that can be added into overstretched lives today. There's space, literally, to note down what you’ve learned and how much you’ve truly invested in yourself.

This isn’t a book you rush through. It’s one you return to - on tired nights, on hopeful mornings, in moments when clarity feels just out of reach. Because more than anything, 'Manifest Your Infinite Riches' is a reminder to pause and to think.

In a time when very few things ask us to slow down, this book dares to. In a world too rushed to pause, 'Manifest Your Infinite Riches' urges you to do just that and grow from it.
