The Less You Preach, the More You Learn : Aphorisms for Our Age
by Joseph Zacharias, Shashi Tharoor, Shashi Tharoor
I have always loved a good aphorism. Growing up, my grandfather always had one at the tip of his tongue and I would try to memorise each of them religiously. When I learnt that a book of aphorisms is being released by @alephbookco featuring some by Dr Shashi Tharoor and Joseph Zacharias, I knew I had to read it. Everything about this delightful little book is refreshing. Be it the witty statements or the clever illustrations by Priya Kurian to go with them, it is all neatly done.
Although Dr Tharoor chanced upon Joseph for a work meeting, it is their friendship that has evolved over the years. It’s no secret that Dr Tharoor is well known for his sharp wit but it is the combined aphorisms by the two men that makes this little book such a hit. I also loved the idea that these aphorisms are written so diversely be it about relationships, life, work life, society and god. It encapsulates human nature and offers a refreshing take on how we behave as a community.
This is a book that you can revisit time and again because the aphorisms never get old. Extra points for this gorgeous cover.
