Description
Bob Miglani, a businessman, writes about his personal experiences learning to "embrace chaos" in India, where he came to accept his inability to have total control. He tries less to prescribe "letting go" than to show how he did so when in India. The book is organized into three parts. The first, "Accept," examines how "you cannot control chaos, but you can control you." The second part, "Don't Overthink," considers how to gain a spouse within an hour, how to meditate amid chaos, and how to not worry about what's coming next in life. The last part, "Moving Forward," is about how focusing on one's own actions and, serving a purpose or person, can cut through the fog of over-thinking.

Like many of us, Bob Miglani felt overwhelmed and anxious. He worried constantly about his job, his finances, and his family. It was a chance invitation to India, the land of his birth, that finally freed him.India, Miglani writes, is “the capital of chaos”: over a billion people living on one-third the space of the United States. And it was there that he learned to let go. The secret is to stop trying to control the chaos and focus on what you can control—your own actions, words, and thoughts. Move forward, make mistakes, trust your intuition, find your purpose.In this inspiring book, Miglani shares the experiences and encounters that helped him finally get it. What happens when you find yourself in an Indian village with no money and a plane to catch? How could an educated urban woman agree to a marriage after two dates? What keeps a rural health worker motivated despite the enormous need and such limited ability to help? What does trying to catch an insanely overcrowded bus teach you about perfection? Embracing the chaos, Miglani found, “leads us down paths we never would have walked on...It brings out strengths we never knew existed inside of us.”
