This was an effortless (in the best way), gently funny read. I adored Professor Chandra and his bumbling and yet dignified attempts to find a new path forward after he narrowly misses winning the Nobel Prize in Economics for the umpteenth time. How does a man turning 70 change his ways? His immediate family has all scattered to different corners of the globe and he's realizing there may just be more to life than incessant work. As he sets out to travel, visit his children, and try a little spiritual adventuring, he begins to find new ways to communicate and to heal his relationships. If you're looking for a feel-good book that will leave you with a smile on your face, this would be sure thing.
