While the low-level processors are the ones born out of experiences mainly derived from our ancestors, the relatively newer processors are the ones that take shape out of our experiences. Our mind reacts to situations based on the output results of these

results of these processors, Singh discusses how our mind reacts to situations and why. Taking it a step further, he also says how to control the way our mind functions.

Mainly through daily meditation practices and simple breathing exercises, Singh teaches his readers how to come out of anger, fear and anxiety.

It is interesting how the third part of the book talks about a person’s common problems and even more intriguing is to read how we can control or regulate the happenings around us. Singh says that while we always blame external forces of affecting our lives, the entire thing is internal, more so inside the brain of which we are the masters.

It is an enlightening book with sup- portive illustrations and graphs by Singh to explain or support his claims. The book, however, comes as a dampener for ones who are thirsty for more but is a good read for those who are short of time and would look for easy solutions. However, it falls little short of becoming a marvel as a little more concentration on the editing part would have made it just perfect.

But overall, the book takes its readers through a momentous journey of selfdiscovery leaving an unclogged craving for more and more as the readers seek to delve deep within and introspect.
