Manan  (English, Paperback, Yasmin Sait)

As the title suggests, this book aims to encourage introspection and self-discovery, hence, it’s not prescriptive and far from being, yet another, “self-help” book. Simply put, it’s a collection of anecdotes and life lessons of nine inspiring women, from different walks of life, whose life’s journey is the inspiring tale. These nine women overcame societal stereotypes, to define purpose and meaning to their lives, as an ongoing process, since evolving stages of life throws up new challenges as well as different pathways, with no “google lady” to guide, so one must navigate based on individual predisposition and self-esteem. Each narrative is distinct with its own nuances, poignancy and joy, hence, feel free to jump into any chapter that appeals to you and get back to the rest, or just re-read those that inspired you! The author, Yasmin Sait, has 3 decades experience in retail and entertainment sectors, including mother cum manager role for two media celebrities, Kubbra Sait and Danish Sait. She now functions as a “Life purpose coach” and counsellor. She too shares her life journey, with each twist and turn throwing up new challenges as well as opportunities to rejuvenate.
