Amrut Deshmukh The Booklet Guy

When Alexander the Great's army marched through India, Chanakya faced a unique challenge: battle-hardened soldiers who had conquered half the known world. He searched for weakness and found it in their hearts. These men had been away from home for years, missing their wives, children, and homeland. Chanakya then sent Vishkanyas—beautiful, intelligent women—not to poison them physically, but emotionally. Through gentle conversations, they reminded the soldiers of home: family meals, children’s laughter, the comfort of their own beds. Gradually, the soldiers’ zeal faded. They began questioning why they were fighting so far away, and Alexander, undefeated on the battlefield, started losing the psychological war. This is just one example of Chanakya's shrewd brilliance. Let us learn from him in this book. Summary is available on Booklet app.

New Year isn’t about turning a page, it’s about reading it with intent.
Read slowly. Read deeply. Read to question, not just to finish.

It’s the month of December. There is curfew in gyms. But in January, you’ll see tsunami of resolutions. Such things hardly work. So I picked up this book for all my Booklet friends, who argue with me, “Arey Amrut, exercise karne ko time hi nahi milta hai yar”  There are some eye opening ideas that can transform your approach towards physical exercise. Few of my favourites are “The Time Loss Paradox”, The False Hope syndrome and the “Uncomfortable Procrastination Trick. Summary is available on Booklet app.

Imagine you’re the founder of an exciting new venture and you’ve just done a big round of hiring. You’re not some stuffy corporate executive – you’re a cool boss. So you’re throwing a little cocktail party to introduce yourself and help the team mingle. The drinks start flowing and all of a sudden you’ve grabbed the mic . . .
“Hello, everyone. Welcome! So, you know, I always tell new hires: Don’t think of me as your boss; think of me as a friend who can fire you!”
And: pin drop silence.
Well, that didn’t go well.
Many people say that there is no room for humor in the workplace, but the authors of “Humor, Seriously” disagree. And they disagree passionately. Sure, there was probably a better way for you to have navigated that cocktail party, but in this book you’ll learn why humor is important. Even if you don’t consider yourself the next Kapil Sharma, you’ll learn, first, how to tap into your own funny, and then how to use those skills to help create an environment of trust, creativity, and success for you and your colleagues. Summary is available on Booklet app without audio.

Some studies indicate that we lie up to an amazing 200 times per day. We lie for numerous reasons, both good and bad: sometimes to protect others; sometimes just to save our own skins. But no matter why people lie, many of us are involved in activities that require us to have access to truthful information. If you’re a lawyer, CEO or accountant, it doesn’t matter why people lie. What matters is the truth. This book provides with the field experience of highly trained professional lie detectors so that you can better detect whether other people are telling the truth, as well as how to ask the right questions to get people to reveal their lies.

Picture this. It’s Monday morning. You drag yourself into the office, holding your last ray of hope and a half-filled water bottle. Your boss, Mr. No-Nonsense, is waiting with a grim face and a meter-long spreadsheet. Before you can blink, he says, “So, delivery is late again. What’s your excuse this time? You know, in my day, people showed up early even if their auto broke down, their neighbour’s cow blocked the road, and their umbrella flew away in the rain.” And just like that, he glances at your tired face, not even noticing the panic in your eyes or the fact that you didn’t sleep last night because your mom was in the hospital. He walks off muttering, “Professionalism, folks. Try it sometime.” Ever met a boss who manages to practise zero empathy? We all have stories. But what if the office could be… different?

In 2012, Facebook’s Chris Hughes announced a new venture filled with phrases like “cross-functional collaboration” and “metabolism perspective,” while The Financial Times claimed their content “improves the efficacy of measurable learning outcomes.” Seriously—kuch samjha! Writing doesn’t have to sound like that. It’s not a talent you’re born with but a skill you can build. Even Shakespeare grew from early flops to masterpieces like King Lear and The Tempest. This book helps you do the same—write clearly, confidently, and effectively, with practical tips you can start using today. Summary available on Booklet app.
