Almost with a touch of\n philosophy, yet firmly grounded in the reality of business and national\n affairs, the author argues thatthere is no reality, only perceptions of\n reality. Perceptions influence our thoughts and actions and these, in turn,\n are influenced by thelenses through which we see the world. There are six\n such lenses: purpose, authenticity, courage, trust, luck and fulfilment. R.\n Gopalakrishnan uses, as examples, the lives ofordinary people’ to illustrate\n his view. By rotating the lenses, Gopal attempts to understand what success\n in career and life really means. While biographies of celebrities are\n inspiring to read, they are often read like dramatic fairy tales-out of the\n scope of an average person. But in Six Lenses, Gopalakrishnan narrates the\n stories of PLUs (people like us)—as he likes to call them—from business and\n society, whom he has known during his illustrious career. He elucidates the\n extraordinary lessons that can be learnt from everyday experiences and shows\n how, by altering our perceptions, we can better overcome the challenges we\n face at work and in family matters. Thought-provoking, profound and\n questioning, Six Lenses will make you look at your life and career in a\n different light.
