Pawan Sarda, Group CMO, Future Group- Digital, a marketing and e-commerce, is currently reading, 'The Art of Thinking Clearly' by Rolf Dobelli.
"It’s a very engaging book that points out how we think with a bias and how we can change it. I am very fascinated by the topic and the author does a great job and keeps the reader hooked," he says.
In a very positive way, the lockdown has given all of us time to introspect, take a pause, and think of many unanswered questions which one avoided in the day-to-day rush.
Sarda thinks this book has helped him to introspect simple errors that we make, spot them and work towards it.
"It also provides me with a business perspective and creative ways to implement simplistic yet effective decisions," he says.
Sarda tries and spends an hour reading daily before he hits the bed. "I find it a good way to relax and spend my free time constructively. Reading before bed has been a habit I have nurtured over time. It’s very calming and therapeutic. That one hour is usually with my own self. It does help me to forget everything and leave the stress of the day aside for a while. I can clear my mind and focus on something that gives me joy," he says.
An old-fashioned person, Sarda prefers a physical book, any day. "It is far more joyful for me to hold a hard copy in my hand flip through the pages. I tend to focus better and I can easily avoid fatigue due to the screen glare. We sit in offices and often workdays in front of the computer and mobile screens," he says.
