And he is successful in this effort."[5] DNA India calls the book "an honest approach to an elusive pursuit in human life."[6] The Hindu said the "book gives equal focus on side effects of success — ego; sins of success — arrogance, pride, greed and envy with examples of real life stories."[7] Actor and producer, Mahesh Babu, recommended the book as part of the #ReadingIsGoodChallenge initiative, drawing parallels to the Maharshi film.[8][9][10]
