Saturday_ShortStory - 7 (The Emperor)

 Hey Guys!!!

Today's short story comes from a genre that I struggle a lot with. This is self-help and the book is 'The Emperor'.

First, huge thanks to the author for providing me with the beautiful copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Name: The Emperor: Live The Dream 
Author: Ram Joshi
Genre: Self-Help
Published in: November 2020

My Ratings: 5 Buzzes out of 5.

(SPOILER ALERT: LOW)

"He decided to live like the one who would try to figure out how to do it. The one who would bring a positive change. The one who would never give up and continue even when nothing is in his favour."

*--------*--------*

The book follows the life of Em on his journey to achieving his dream. How he conquers his self-doubt and the fear of being away from his people, that is keeping him back from working towards his dream.

The writing style is Awesome with a capital A. Each line of this book is so inspiring that every paragraph can be quoted. 

The book is fast-paced yet it covers all the elements, every difficulty (both mental and physical) faced by a person in his/her journey to success.

Making it easier and enjoyable to read the chapters are very short (which is one of the many reasons I loved this book).

As it's short, each chapter is to the point but that doesn't reduce its worth. There is so much meaning in those short lines that I may not have realized some of them.

Talking about the protagonist, whose journey we follow, is very connecting. There were so many things which I could relate to. Some of them being:

• The Procrastination before starting the journey.
• The self-doubt we all face during that time.
• The fear of failure and the unknown danger we might face.
• The anxiety of leaving the life of comfort and fun and starting the journey. And many more.

It's also great in the way that the author has covered many critical aspects (that I mostly don't find in self-help books). 

One of them being, in today's world where everything is present at our disposal we hardly decide to achieve something. We become used to these comforts and never think about our dreams maybe because we think it's impossible or we doubt our abilities.

Each small victory and the lessons we learn from that is many times ignored by us, but they matter the most.

All in all, this book is great for those who are looking for some quick enlightening read. Also, if self-help is not one of your go-to genres, then this is the most promising read you can get.
