Summary of the Book

In the last fifteen years, Dr. Kalam has interacted with more than 16 million youth - personally, through emails and over Facebook. He receives hundreds of emails every day and answers them with utmost patience. This book is based on the questions that he has been asked over the years. In these questions, people are usually seeking solutions to problems they face in their lives. Kalam asserts that if we can change the way we “process” the way we think about tackling our problems, then we can possibly change the way we arrive at solutions.
