The author has organized Swami Vivekananda's ideas to develop a holistic approach based on Vedanta to the problem of understanding and quantifying human development in this book.
What is the use of talking of one's mistakes to the world? They cannot thereby be undone. For what one has done one must suffer; one must try and do better. The world sympathizes only with the strong and the powerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
