Love Yourself and Be Transformed: Kamal Ravikant, American Author [Businessviews.in]
In an interview with author Vani Kaushal, American author Kamal Ravikant who wrote two bestsellers opens up on his craft, philosophy, and outlook on life. Ravikant is famous as a writer. But in the United States, he is more popular as a Venture Capitalist, motivational speaker and founder of many start-ups in the Silicon Valley.
According to Bloomberg data, Kamal Ravikant heads California-based RevNetics Inc as its founder and CEO. Ravikant’s first book Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On it has an important message that loving oneself truly and deeply would lead to the complete transformation of that person’s life.
The American writer’s latest book: Rebirth: A Fable of Love, Forgiveness and Following Your Heart has that idea reverberating yet again.
Vani is a well-known author and columnist in India. This former Times of India journalist published her debut novel The Recession Groom in 2015 and received widespread critical acclaim.
Vani contributes regularly to Quint, Scroll, and Huffington Post. More about Vani can be seen on her website www.vaniauthor.com.
EXCERPTS
What is it like to truly and deeply love yourself?
First, it is a practice. Like going to the gym, brushing our teeth. Call it a focused practice. The results are that one is naturally lighter, happier, and life just works better. At its very essence, it is living in the flow and magic of life.
And then again — a book about loving oneself! — Do you think a theme like that needed a book?
Yes. I wrote the book I wish someone had given me when I was down. No fluff, only actionable and practical truths.
Don’t people already love themselves?
I haven’t met many. If they did, the majority of their personal dramas wouldn’t exist.
With respect to the exercises you share with the readers (looking in the mirror, meditation etc), do you think these techniques really help?
These are what I came up with when I was bottom to literally save myself. They worked for me. I shared them with friends. The exercises worked for them. I shared them in my book. I have thousands of emails from readers sharing how they work for them.
All the exercises are simple. Doesn’t matter how old you are, what your color or religion is. What matters is that you’re human. We all have the same monkey minds. Thus, solutions that work effectively are simple and work for all.
Do you believe that if a person just loves himself, he can turn around the environment that surrounds him? How does it change anything?
How can it not? Try it. You’ll find yourself making better choices in your life easily and naturally; ones that serve you. And as you get better, the world around you gets better. Things just work that way. That’s what I’ve learned.
