My favorite quote from the book: You are not a wave, you are a part of the ocean

Throughout life we keep on thinking about things we need to do to make our lives better, rather what we are supposed to do is to make the world better and our life would be great by itself. We will definitely perish like all other waves in the ocean but it is all the waves that together add the magic to the ocean.

Most important takeaway from the book: Love or Perish.
