Motivation Book/Self Help
Date Published: July 1st 2020
Author Devpal Gupta believes in living life according to those core values to which we we all have access: respect, positivity, and passion. In his debut inspirational book, Power of One, Devpal extracts lessons from his life's journey which began in Tanzania and London and transplanted him to a successful life as an Arizona-based commercial real estate executive and applies them to real-life principles. With no holds barred, Devpal tells it like it is -- he offers no excuse and takes no excuses when it comes to living a purposeful life. With eight hard-hitting, short-and-sweet chapters like "Get Over It" and "Why is the Brown Guy Better Than Us", Devpal straight shoots advice on how to remain genuine, honest and real. Devpal also introduces his own theory, the Power of One. He imparts upon readers that in order to be truly prosperous, the only one you can rely on, is yourself.
The Power of One is a fantastically quick read and a dynamic demonstration of what it takes to be resourceful and resilient in a world that rewards people for gratuitous likes rather than the efforts and principles behind hard work.
Interview
What was your main drive to write this book? My main drive was to present my journey and
life lessons hoping to inspire people. I
wanted people to understand what being 1% really means, and why not needing
validation from 99% is critical. Our
mind is our strongest muscle if it says we can, then we will, if it says we
can’t then we have already admitted defeat.
What do you hope readers will learn by reading this book? I hope that readers start living in the
present, and not dwell on their past. I
hope they use negativity in their lives as fuel. Turning a no into a yes is very
satisfying. What is 1%, how can one be
1%, and surround themselves with 1%.
These are questions that I hope get answered and inspires and motives
the readers to passionately pursue their respective passions.
Did you do much research when planning this book? Since this is really an autobiography, and a
book that deals with my life experiences and what fuels me, not a lot research
had to be done. It came straight from my
heart!
Did you have any main people who helped you in the process
of this book or influenced you to write it? I had a great team Parul Agarwal (my
publisher), Peppur Chambers (my editor), Shannon Burton (my proof reader),
Suprit Gupta (my wife, and marketing guru), My family, and my core 1% who have
always stood by me through thick and thin.
How long did this book take you to write from initial
thought to hitting publish? The book in its first copy was written by me in 4
days, but then editing, cover selection, publishing etc, the entire journey was
approximately 6 months
Do you have plans to write more about this topic or new
topics? I hope to continue inspiring and
motivating people, so I will continue writing but no plans yet on when the next
one comes out.
