Chanakya Neeti
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life, Leadership, Money, Power, and Success
Principles traditionally associated with Chanakya, applied to modern life, leadership, money, relationships and the digital age.
Chanakya Neeti is a self-help and strategy book by Indian author Parvind Kumar exploring the principles traditionally associated with Chanakya — also known as Kautilya or Vishnugupta — and interpreting them for contemporary life. It notes the difference between the Chanakya Niti tradition, concerned with human behaviour and everyday life, and the Arthashastra, a distinct and far more extensive work on governance and statecraft.
The book covers self-discipline, controlling anger and ego, choosing friends, protecting reputation, managing money, career and leadership, negotiation, handling difficult people, crisis management, family and relationships, entrepreneurship, and even privacy and artificial intelligence — asking how ancient strategic wisdom can help us think more clearly and act more wisely.
