Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss by Rajeev Balasubramanyam

5.0

For years, Professor Chandra has come incredibly close to winning a Nobel prize in economics. And as he focused on the prize, he's let his wife, his children, and his health slip away from him. After being snubbed again, an accident followed by a heart attack lead Chandra to reassess his priorities and, under orders from his doctor, follow his bliss.

This book gave me all of the feel-good vibes. Chandra is a bit infuriating at times, but his earnest attempt to fix his life is inspiring and uplifting. The twists and turns of his journey are full of surprises, and I appreciate the simplicity of the storytelling. Sometimes you read a book that makes you want to be a better person; this is one of those stories, and Professor Chandra's journey to find his bliss might lead you to take one of your own.
