I AM AN OTHER YOU: About The Book

I AM ANOTHER YOU is a story of breakthroughs. Powerful breakthroughs!

 You start this journey with Priya, the author, many years ago, trying to escape from a world that did not feel right.  You travel with her to the Netherlands, where she participates in some amazing processes with Natives who help her realise that that the place where wrong is “rightened” is within.  There is nothing wrong with the outside world if we sort out the world inside.  Each chapter opens to a new surprise , leading to a new realization about yourself.  Every page is an honest narration of struggle, overcoming and victory. The experiences are followed up with learnings, carefully extracted from real life, which can be applied – professionally and personally, to achieve a better life.

A book of many lessons, many insights and many truths, it has the power to awaken you to your best self. This book will urge you to take that path you always knew was right but never had the courage to follow. It will guide you, humour you, inspire you, touch you and above all lead you to – your own breakthroughs.

  1. Most of us live our lives blaming ourselves,cursing others,sheep walking every other man’s advice, instruction and order,empowering the world to hit us below the belt,every single time.We are emotional fools.Our dream man is a compilation of ten other men,our dream job is someone else’s job, our future is someone else’s present.Nothing is originally ours.We don’t live,we exist in the wait of our dreams to meet our reality,without even giving it one decent shot.“What we don’t have is destiny’s fault,not ours.And what others have is their luck.”This is the biggest lie written on rock.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ is a book for all those who live this lie,day in and day out.This book is beyond learning.It is beyond experience.It is unlearning all the lessons of life you and me have grown up parroting.
    “You can’t do this? Are you mad? You will fail miserably!You don’t know anything yet?Remember my words!I had told you!I knew this would happen to you.You can’t do anything.You are a loser,a mistake!”These are just a few statements which every Tom,Dick and Harry has thrown at me, piercing me at every chance they got.These are the words you believe,without a second thought. You strip yourself at every popular demand till you peel off your skin and grind your bones. Till all that is left of you is a meek soul held captive in your body.You live a vegetable growth, waiting to rot.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ breakthroughs this YOU - The YOU who has the passport,but,not the visa to your life;the YOU who degrades self at the leisure of others;the YOU which is trapped in all of us, hidden, unattended, unacknowledged.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ cleanses the inner self whose value is self destructed,the soul whose existence is not appreciated.It is not self help.It is the source to awareness,the medium to realization and the achievement of acceptance.It is not Priya’s journey alone.It is a path to finding our true self,not following hers,but,by simply experiencing hers.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ is not a tale, neither is it an autobiography.It is a book of confessions,acceptations and discoveries – confessions of a lost,broken soul shattered in a million little pieces,accepting mistakes that turned life upside down for her and discovering the culprit and the victim – a timid, tamed,incarcerated soul hiding inside her,waiting for the right moment,hoping God to send a fairy Godmother to her rescue before every wrong turn,hoping destiny to play fair,only to find out that there is no right or wrong moment,there is no fairy Godmother,there is no destiny scripted.It is YOU.YOU are the key to your lock.YOU are the moment, YOU are the Fairy Godmother and YOU are the destiny.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ is not a soul curry for a vulnerable soul.It is not a book with hidden secrets.It is decoding life for those who condemn it to be too complex,too unfair not within their control. And it is coding life for those who don’t know their purpose here,who live life at the mercy of others and who eventually wither off into nowhereness.
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ is coming across the word ‘miracle’ and realizing that the 'magic' is YOU.YOU are your strength and YOU are your weakness.YOU are the action and YOU are the consequence.YOU are the master and YOU are the slave.YOU are your creation and YOU are your destruction.
    Priya neither leads nor teaches.She simplifies the complexities and serves her purpose to enlighten every single soul living in despair and self pity,perishing one moment at a time.She reinstates the greatest truth of mankind, the greatest lesson of God – “All is One and One is All.”
    ‘I Am Another YOU’ begins with an end of hiding,waiting to be found and ends with a discovery of the new YOU.So,the book never really ends.It grows with YOU, within YOU.
    It would be wrong if I say Priya motivates.She inspires.She enlightens.And without travelling miles,YOU journey through the pages,every page finding a little YOU everywhere.
    She says,“If I can,so can YOU”.Why not?I ask myself. After all,I Am Another YOU!!

  2. I loved reading this one. What is amazing about this book is some of the Shamanistic practices that you are introduced to while reading.
    The Shamans (loosely translated as "One Who Knows") are looked upon both as spiritual masters and healers. They have an intricate culture woven around rituals that lead to experiential realizations. I like the way Priya, who is a corporate trainer takes you to this magical world, making sure you notice at every point, the deep insights to be had and the lessons to be learnt about personal growth from these various practices, without really being obvious. The book is fast paced and the stories are so involving, that once you start a chapter, you just can't stop reading. Very fresh, very honest and different. Stands apart !

  5. This book is just awesome, It truly captivated my attention, when I read the first chapter I was so much enchanted and into the book that I did not even attend the phone calls ringing.

    Priya has so beautifully expressed herself that throughout the entire experience of the processes, I was with her personally experiencing the learnings and internalizing it... I felt HEALED of my own pain.

    This book took me a different magical world where there is so much to learn and gave a different perspective to life. Each paragraph has so much deeper meaning and hope to overcome whatever struggle, obstacle and pain that, it enables you to make things turnaround and work for you.

    This book gives you and me, a bigtime HOPE. That come what may be your situation you can overcome and live your life of your DREAMS

    Thank you Priya for sharing this wonderful journey with us. God Bless you with more power
