This excellent compilation from the works of Swami Vivekananda is not merely instructive but also provocative in the sense that it makes the readers feel, with a compelling sense of urgency, that they ought to be on the road to Personality Development. For is not a developed personality a sine quo non for success in all the fields of human life and endeavour? How to attain it? What are its means? The readers will find these questions answered in these illuminating pages. Here is a book which can make the readers view themselves in a new light.
The less passion there is, the better we work. The calmer we are, the better for us and the more the amount of work we can do. When we let loose our feelings, we waste so much energy, shatter our nerves, disturb our minds, and accomplish very little work.
-Swami Vivekananda
