    This book is going to be a truly inspiring and revolutionary tool in today’s world, where people are forgetting their roots and running behind a pseudo culture of modernisation.

    The concept in your book to illustrate how Sat, Chit, and Ananda work together, it was highlighted in one of our Upanishadas.

    Started reading this book. Below are my takeaways for today:

    1) Sat grounds you in what is real.

    Chit keeps you curious and aware.

    Ananda reminds you that bliss and fulfilment lie within.

    2) Together, these three principles form a timeless guide to living a life of purpose and joy.

    3) In doing so, we find balance—a state the rishis called samata, where our individual self stands in harmony with the universal.

    4) Satchitananda: Reality, Awareness and Bliss—Sat, Chit and Ananda—are not separate ideas. They are the foundation of all existence. Everything in the universe begins with them and returns to them.

    5) They are always present, shaping who we are and why we are here. When we understand and live by Satchitananda, life reveals its deeper purpose.

    Thank you so much @ Prof. Debashish Chaterjee Sir, for sharing such incredible learnings.

    “Leadership wisdom doesn’t always come in long chapters — sometimes it takes just a minute.”

    🚀 Just wrapped up reading 1 Minute Wisdom — a book by Prof. Debashis Chatterjee and what an energizing experience!

    Instead of just finishing the book and moving on, I decided to create a visual summary of my key takeaways and reflections. Sharing it here because the lessons are too good not to revisit (and I hope it sparks reflection for you too ).

    What I loved most is how the book distills leadership and life lessons into simple, practical wisdom that stays with us long after reading. A gentle reminder that big impact often comes from small, thoughtful actions.

    A huge thanks to the author for putting together such a meaningful and insightful work 🙌

    If you’re curious about leadership, growth, and wisdom in action, I’d definitely recommend adding this to your reading list.

    This book is not just a book - it’s a mirror. Prof. Debashis Chatterjee doesn’t simply narrate his life experiences—he invites readers to reflect on them. Some pages are spiritually intense, others equally humorous, but each one offers a unique perspective.

    Though titled “One Minute Wisdom”, I couldn’t help but read the entire book in just two sittings. Each chapter is bite-sized yet captivating, making it hard to stop. You’ll often find yourself saying “just one more,” before puting it down.

    A beautifully and soulfully written, thought-provoking read—perfect for those seeking depth in simplicity.
