“Mr. Modi, our prime minister, asks to forget politics and focus on development. Is politics anti-developmental?.”

“Many have told me that the corporate world is full of blood sucking beasts, the masters of exploitation. Should I join or abstain from it.”

“Why should I consider religion as the heart of the heartless world, even though it is the opium of the people.”

These are thoughts that have bemused and puzzled us for long; thoughts we have heeded to at-least once in our life so far.

Mr. Praveen, in his book Thinking Beyond the Paradigms, presents ten such threads of thought, observed by him, in the backdrop of his development interventions, skill development sessions and extensive interaction with youngsters across the nation.

Similar paradigms and intriguing thoughts undergo a psychological dissection and are carefully scrutinized to be decoded in the process by the author to rightfully steer the reader into making apt decisions, improve perspective towards life, and thereby contribute the best towards national development.
