Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss by Rajeev Balasubramanyam

4.0

Professor Chandra has reached a critical juncture in his life: professionally unfilled, asked to take a leave of absence due to his behavior toward his students, and estranged from his children, he is hit by a bicycle. During his forced sabbatical, he goes to a spiritual retreat, and begins the difficult process of facing some hard truths about himself, his motivations, and how any why his children have become so distant. At times funny, this is poignant portrait of how an ambitious man learns humility and begins to try to understand himself and his children. Well written and well paced, this book will appeal to readers who enjoyed A Man Called Ove and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.
