Book Review #27: Live Smart: 100 Hacks for a Healthier and Happier Life Book by Teja Lele Desai

-




Remember the time when people used to maintain diary entries for many useful facts, the important recipes to carry on through the generations, some prerequisites for the prep of any cultural functions, and many more personal tricks to entertain others in case of emergencies. Just like those times of keepers, author Teja Lele has introduced an upgraded version of those times in the form of hacks.


This book “ Live smart - 100 hacks for a healthier and happier life” is a mixture of various foundations, happening in day to day activities. The idea of introducing this book to the world came to the author because of the difficult times of covid times as she quotes - “The year 2020 made it necessary”.

 

Talking about the contents, for starters the author has described the necessity of this book. She particularly picks up the test called “Basic Survival Skill Quiz” for the readers and analyzes them on the basis of their knowledge. She states how to use this book, and why you need this book. This initial aroma of reality check only will grab the attention of the audience. 


Moving on, this book is categorized in 5 sections i.e. Home, Food and Kitchen, Beauty, Health and Well-being, and Reuse and Recycle. Each section is filled with basics which you can definitely find on the internet, but the author has shaped the technique in her own ways. Every section has its own pros and cons stories, and the best part is, all hacks can be applied any time. So, it’s always a great deal to keep this book handy. I loved the fact that she has done all the homework of mind reading, and presented the stuff in the most convenient ways. 

Few of them are as follows: 

  • What you need

  • Time taken

  • How

  • Important checklists and hidden facts

  • Money saving tricks

  • Bonus hacks

  • Smart tips

  • Relatable diagrams


So, if you are stuck with some problems, which you just don't want to check on the internet for long listed procedures, you can definitely check this out for the most promising explanations ever. The fun part is that the scope of the readers for this book is very vast, because from a 10 years old child to 80 years old grandma, anyone can simply pick this one out, anytime. Language chosen for the process is very simple and can be understood by everyone. You can place this book even in the coffee table genre, just like an all-rounder. 


I will totally recommend this book as a necessary addition to everyone’s booklist. Also, do recommend this to your loved ones because sharing is caring.

The importance of mentorship in the next generation’s lives

  There’s a famous book “Tuesday with Morrie” , written by Mitch Albom in which the character Morrie quotes “The most important thing I can say to you is, 'Teach.' You want to know what's wrong with the world? Ask yourself what's right with it. When you get the answer to that, go out and teach somebody.” This line made an outstanding mark on my beliefs, when I first read the book. Giving you a short glimpse, this is a heartwarming story of a dying professor imparting life lessons to his former student, showcasing the transformative power of mentorship and wisdom it can offer.  There are innumerable facts and real life examples where we can clearly see the importance of mentorship in any generation, whether it be the age of Chanakya’s authority or the digital era of Physics Wala, Khan Sir and many more . At every step of doubt, one looks forward to the resolution suggested by their mentor. And it’s not necessary that the guidance should be in academics only. Life is its...

  I don’t have any specific opinion on feminism. Neither do I like to differentiate anything that is beyond the reach of gender neutrality. But I know for a fact that women are the most powerful creatures on this planet. They have the power to create a new life, suffer with blood every month and balance the mundane life with utmost pride all the time. They not only bloom but also spread the fragrance around them. I am also surrounded with such a wonderful community of women, who always support me in my lows and cheer for me in my highs.  @Unicorn and @Authoropod have collaborated this time on the special occasion of Navratri, and I am so happy to contribute my flavor of colors in 9 different ways. I want to dedicate the essence of these shades to the strong women pillars of my life. Orange : Warmth and energy There’s no one more deserving than my grandmother and mother for this impregnable title. Both of them have always given me warmth so that I always feel secure. They pr...

Mithila Nagri

 There’s a common saying that the roots will never change, no matter how much surroundings try to change a person. Earlier I never understood this, as I always thought that we are bound to change ourselves according to the places we live. But after experiencing almost 3 decades, now I understand the value of “origin”. I feel so proud that I came from the land of Mithila, also known as Janakpurdham , an ancient cultural and religious hub located in the southern part of Nepal and the northern part of the Indian state of Bihar. I am sure, most of the people don’t even know about the various facts of Ramayana, that actually happened on this holy land. There are several facts, customs, folk songs and foods that I want to highlight today, which make me a member of true Mithila family, and I am so honored that I get to write my experiences here, taking reference from Mithila Nagri: In our families, we cherish folksongs and are sung on every festive occasions like Durga puja, Ramnavmi, Kal...
