Do Epic Shit by Ankur Warikoo

 A few days back, I was scrolling through my social media posts and saw a post of a book named Do Epic Shit by MR Ankur Warikoo. The moment I saw the cover, I was suspicious whether it would be an informative book or not. So I decided to research more about the book and more about the author, Mr Ankur Warikoo. I learned that he was the founder of the company name nearbuy.com India's No. 1 Lifestyle App. And he went through many hardships during his lifetime and bankruptcy a couple of times in his life. When I followed him on all social media accounts, his content was terrific and helpful to many youngsters like me. 

                                      

What the Do Epic Shit book has to offer:

The book is divided into six parts, Success (and Failures), Habits, Awareness, Entrepreneurship, Money & Relationships. Each element has a life lesson attached to its learning.

The book is conversational, making it more interesting than a regular self-help book.

It answers each question that will make you reanalyze your life goals and your approach towards them.

As soon as I held the book in my hands, I eagerly dived into its pages. Within just an hour, I realized that every word in this book was pure gold. Mr. Ankur's one-page insights were absolutely terrific. The initial chapters of the book offered invaluable lessons on life, risk-taking, and overcoming procrastination. As I progressed through the middle section, I was captivated by Mr. Ankur's candid discussion of the financial mistakes he had made in his own life, along with the valuable lessons he had learned from them. What I particularly appreciated about this book was the author's transparent and honest approach, making it easy for readers like me to avoid making the same mistakes.

Book Title & Book Cover:

The book cover is as plain as it can be, yet the simplistic approach with the font and color makes the book peep out through bookshelves when you want to look out for it. The book will grab your attention with bold fonts and a yellow cover. The book title may sound a little weird, but Ankur Warikoo hits the bull's eye by writing a title in slang that today's youth understand and follow.

Why the book Do Epic Shit is popular:

Honest approach by the author:

Ankur is brutally honest in his book as he is in his videos on social media. The audience and readers can get the vibes of honesty while reading the book as some of his personal experiences shared in the book are too honest, and the author doesn't shy away from sharing them with the world.

Conversational Tone:

It is always good to talk to people and understand a concept than rotting it through definitions. The author has brilliantly paraphrased the book in a manner to set a conversation with questions and answers. And sometimes, asking questions to readers makes their brain process the information just read.

Simple and crisp chapters:

 No one has time to listen to lengthy life lessons; crisp and unique is what today's youth look for, and author Ankur Warikoo is known to present the subject matter in a few lines. He has done the same in this book and is hitting the right chords with millennial readers.

Personal life lessons:

When you learn from personal mistakes, the lesson is known and imbibed in your heart forever. Readers will laugh, question, and get teary-eyed reading the author's experiences and dilemma situations.

Start anywhere, End positively:

You can read any chapter or any page, for that matter, at any time of the day. The book is flowing and can be completed in a day, but I always advise reading the self-help books slowly and observe how the book affects you.

Why I liked Ankur Warikoo Book:

Acceptance of failure after success is a great asset, and only a few can do it effortlessly, and Ankur does that in this book. Learning from small steps to huge roadblocks can make a person renowned in his experience or shatter the confidence; it is the perspective we choose. The author shares how with age, money, and relationships, the equation changes from time to time, and there is no qualm in falling again and again. The author stresses that learning from mistakes, and if a person cannot learn from mistakes, they are moving backward.

Why to read Ankur Warikoo Book:

Every human is bound to make mistakes and have to learn from them, and to go ahead in life to make an epic impression; one has to read a good book, follow a few practices and strive on each of its factors.

What I did not like about the book:

The flow of the book could be better. Though it is a conversation and lesson imparting book, the start and end of a topic are unclear. More subtopics in each chapter can give it a wholesome look.
