Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss by Rajeev Balasubramanyam

4.0

While I think the title is a little misleading (Chandra never goes wild or travels to exotic locations as I expected), I was pleasantly surprised by the contents. Much of the book is looking back instead of adventuring onwards. I loved Chandra's character- his humor, pragmatism, and growth. After failing to receive the Nobel prize and surviving a pedestrian collision with a bicyclist, he begins to look at how his life has fallen apart. He has several broken relationships (namely with his children and ex-wife) that mystify him. When coerced into attending a workshop on feelings, he has some revelations about himself that lead him to seek a new way forward. This is such a good, honest, funny glimpse of one person's attempt at rectifying past failures and trying to love with humility. Great one to read if you think your children hate you.
The audio is really good.
