About the author
Mediocre book - feels written by a kid that went through 0 personal development
This is a partly a sales book partly a personal development book with mediocre value add and multiple affirmations of status quos. In almost all chapters you can pick up a lack of personal development from the author and an excitement around building habits. There is a cultural bias embedded in the writing which does not apply to other cultures.

Lot of things to learn which we were never taught at school
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
“Education is the most powerful weapon one can use to change this world.” This was quoted by Nelson Mandela. We all know this is true but well, education is certainly something which is available not only in school but also everywhere on this earth. Surprisingly the places where we seem to look upon for education and knowledge, is an institution. Sadly these days, it’s worth stating that schools are educating, but not preparing students for the future of this globe, the practicality, and the necessary things to survive and grow! I would like to mention that I am not criticising any organisation or institution about failing to impart knowledge and provide education but, the trend and the scenario that seems to be there now, looks like things have become a bit more exam and target oriented, a bit more completion rather than understanding about the modules! Well, that’s not one way to actually live up a good life, and not only the way to live a life. So how would you escape this race of target and exam oriented living in the years of education? Well you may find the answers to those questions in this book. Build, Don’t talk seems like an informal guide to your natural escape the race questions which is authored by Raj Shamani.Pranjal JoshiLot of things to learn which we were never taught at school

Raj Shamani, 24, is an businessman, social media influencer and entrepreneur with more than 1 million followers. He is better known as a motivational speaker, who has given more than 200 plus speeches across 26 countries around the globe. He has given speeches at TED and United Nations, and also at various organisations such as jaguar etc.
To move, Raj has kept the book a bit more informal, and well it does suit the theme for the readers too! Build, Don’t Talk aims at making us realise the things that we should have learnt in school, but well yes! Failed to do so! And it fairly helps us understand how the world is!
The book has nearly 40 chapters, but the point is those are short and sweet and highly practical! The book starts with criticism of the education system! Well,that's what we all have done, while we all grew up, and started to realise how dull and static it is! The book ends with mentioning and explaining about the things that should have been taught in the school! The topics are really very interesting. The author takes you from the process of realising what you are and what you can be! In between he states more of his side, how he was! And how he is now! The difference, the developed and the grown up individual! He tells you all the parameters one person is judged upon, if to bother or not and how! The chapters through this book are completely a story that unfolds itself relational to the previous one! Raj has extensively covered the topics which sometimes students miss out, or get left without understanding its importance. Whether the area is of understanding things, or accepting how they are. Even if it is business or even if it is an investment, he has got it covered for you! My personal favourite chapter was “Vision, Mission and Thirty Second Rule.” To summarise the book I would say, the book is fantastic. It is easy to understand, its relativity to practical life and purposes is high! Also, it covers major aspects that an individual should consider when gaining knowledge as well as growing his own mentality and personality. And keep following the words he states, “If you want to make money, work on the things that are trending today; but if you want to become filthy rich, work on things that will be trending ten years from now.”
Kudos!

Essential Life Lessons for the Modern World
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

What sets this book apart is its no-nonsense approach. The author doesn't just talk about what you should do; they show you how to do it, with clear examples and steps you can start implementing immediately. Whether it's mastering the art of communication, understanding the basics of financial literacy, or learning how to navigate the complexities of relationships and career, this book covers it all.
The writing is engaging and straightforward, making complex concepts easy to understand. I especially appreciated the emphasis on building rather than just talking—a philosophy that encourages action over empty words. This book is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about applying it in real-world scenarios to make tangible progress in your life.
If you’ve ever felt like your education left you unprepared for the challenges of adulthood, this book is for you. It’s a powerful reminder that learning doesn’t stop after school, and the most valuable lessons are often the ones you seek out yourself.
Highly recommended for students, young professionals, and anyone who wants to take control of their future and start building a life they’re proud of.
