Great book, not because it explains how our lives are ruled by quantum, but because how particles behave under quantum can inspire how we treat everyday problems. If you can find inspiration from Newton and Einstein laws, you may find wisdom in quantum behaviors too.

This is a cheap book from an author trying to make a quick buck off of those who find science to be mysterious and magical. Kunal takes scientific concepts, such as the laws of thermodynamics , and twists it to match whatever subject of life he writing on such that the concept he writes about is not even viable or relate-able to the original theory. I highly advise against buying this book so you're not swindled into reading big words that are irrelevant to you and your life. To put it simply: there is a reason this book is found in self-help sections and not in science sections of book stores.
