The major theme that flows in this book is about developing particular life skills which are far more important than merely having academic or technical skills. You can get any amount of academic and technical knowledge, but it will never ensure success if you are devoid of these talked-about life skills. Through our personal experiences, we have observed and experienced that handling ourselves and others through our skills is extremely important. This book is a necessity for everyone in the world as life skills have hardly found any place in the school and university curricula, the maximum emphasis being laid majorly on academic and technical skills.In a constantly changing environment, having life skills is an indispensable part of being able to meet the challenges of everyday life.

Hence, this is a very timely book as it will help in saving numerous lives and careers, and not just in these circumstances but during any difficult time, a person might be going through.It is of paramount importance to focus on the life skills all the time, put up a great effort to adapt them and then practice, practice and practice and you will surely become the best and a charming individual.
