Book Prelude
I take pride in saying that without Kautilya (aka Chanakya), scholars and intellectuals might not have dared to delve into Arthashastra, a masterpiece where he imparted knowledge on politics, economics, strategies, and more. This timeless text continues to serve as a reference manual for statecraft, guiding the world toward better administration. I am sure, Readers who follow the writings of author can truly feel the motivation and passion he imbues into his work inspired by Chankaya’s writings
My Nuances
While I couldn’t dare to pick up reading the source Arthashastra written by Chanakya, this book will serve as a starter pack for all those who wish to absorb and increase/tackle life effectively. Unlike other books, in this Pillai rewrites the sutra’s annotating the workplace adaptations.
My Accentuation
Being a PhD holder in the field of Arthashastra, Radhakrishna yet again proved his hold on the age-old knowledge granary in every book he writes for his readers. With time and wisdom, this book offers different connotations in modern-day personal and professional reflections. this stands as a unique book in my read-list.
Author Accolades
If you are someone who wishes to read and adapt the life sutras with the vintage tinge of umpteen mastery that serves as a strategic mentor, this book is for you. An out-and-out workplace advisory document with amply proven solutions for any phase of life and emotion that will introduce a “NEW YOU“.
Conclusion
The book- Chanakya’s 100 Best Sutras is about the top hundred sutra’s assemblage, this unique book is bisected as many chunks and categorized under a handful of chyrons. Most importantly all the sutras dealt with in this book are stamped under a meaningful life reflection.

I very much appreciate the simple, layman language used in this book making it a beginner friendly book. But the writing do not get deep into the insights and practical real life examples. Although it’s a good book for daily reading, it’s a short, simple and fast.
