Showing the way Siddharth Banerjee with his debut book ‘High on Life’

What you could gain from Banerjee’s book is a posy of smart tips in a tightly knit package pertaining to a range of lifestyle-related subjects, from home improvement to weekend planning, smart socialising to marriage mantras, and more.

Says a friendly Banerjee, “The most important secret behind leading a successful life is planning it.” And how to do it the suitable way can be your call with some lessons to learn from his little book, he adds gleefully.

The Mumbai-based Banerjee cites his own case to substantiate why he ended up writing a book like “High on Life”. The debut author works for Unilever, has to live out of his suitcase too often in a year, has a career woman as a wife, a set of kids to raise. “People like us are growing in numbers. We not only have a demanding career but demanding relationships too. Then there are money matters,” he states.

“There are many issues that we came across for the first time and didn’t know how to handle them. During my travels and in my day-to-day interactions, I came across similar experiences. So, my wife and I thought, why not we come out with a book weaving in others’ and our experiences into it,” explains Banerjee, an MBA. It took him four years though, to collect “these experiences to make many people’s life easier”.

The author categorically states, “This book is for those between 20 and 30 years. It is informally written, user-friendly and has the so-called gyan for a successful daily life.”

Having tasted the joy of putting pen to paper and getting published, Banerjee now is busy writing a collection of short stories. “The work is in progress,” he says succinctly.

Well, getting more out of life already?
