The first quick impression one gets of the phrase "Know Thyself" is "A study of humans' urge for a spiritual journey". However, the book does not delve into this aspect of human life. A few blessed souls are worthy and capable of undertaking such a journey.

The central idea of this book is to discuss the various aspects of life using my personal life and work journey of eight decades of struggles, achievements and contentment.

Know Thyself focuses on issues central to the development of one's persona in its totality, a balanced and well-informed personal value-system, competence and confidence to chart one's balanced approach for securing what one aims at in life.

The book encompasses a wider spectrum of viewpoints that have an overbearing influence on the way one conducts one's affairs of life. It discusses in-depth issues/topics of one's resolve for living a happy, meaningful and satisfying life in its totality; personal, social and work-life.
