In a particular field if you want to be successful you have to show the ability to be a professional. Whether you are an entrepreneur or digital nomad or like to work in a cubicle, there are certain key elements that drive your career forward. Prajeet Budhale’s Infin-Eight talks about eight “must-know” principles for infinite professional success.
This book does not categorize as of who should read it, or who should not. The whole book is based on these eight principles:
– I, as I am
– Natural field of Excellence
– Future Goal
– Independent Ability
– Not to knot Relationships
– Interdependent Partnerships
– Tracker for Progress
– Emotional Equilibrium
The above principles described in this book are pragmatic enough. Author himself has 22 years of experience in his field and he constantly shares his own virtues and the lesson he learned along the journey.
I have read other books in this genre and I can say this book does have a different perception than the most. Every chapter also has some questions and exercises included that makes this book a typical workbook too. I was surprised by this concept as it is mentioned neither on the cover nor in the blurb.
The two of the most interesting chapters in this book are Natural Field of Excellence and Emotional Equilibrium. These two topics as self-explanatory. Why are they interesting? Because many professionals hardly talk about these topics in India. Especially, the modern workforce in India does struggle when it comes to finding what they do best and how to cope emotionally with surrounding pressure once you are living paycheck to paycheck.
The writing style of the book is smooth and easy to apprehend. It is to the point, however, the workbook thing did put me off for a bit.
3.5 out of 5!
I wonder how many corporate people do talk about emotional equilibrium.
What I have observed in recent times is that in Western world, there is a good amount of people who do. In Asian countries, especially in India, there is a mich smaller amount if compared.
Thanks. I was wondering.
