Power of One: What Ignites Your Inner Fire! Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 44 ratings

Author Devpal Gupta believes in living life according to those core values to which we we all have access: respect, positivity, and passion. In his debut inspirational book, Power of One, Devpal extracts lessons from his life's journey which began in Tanzania and London and transplanted him to a successful life as an Arizona-based commercial real estate executive and applies them to real-life principles. With no holds barred, Devpal tells it like it is -- he offers no excuse and takes no excuses when it comes to living a purposeful life. With eight hard-hitting, short-and-sweet chapters like "Get Over It" and "Why is the Brown Guy Better Than Us", Devpal straight shoots advice on how to remain genuine, honest and real. Devpal also introduces his own theory, the Power of One. He imparts upon readers that in order to be truly prosperous, the only one you can rely on, is yourself.

The Power of One is a fantastically quick read and a dynamic demonstration of what it takes to be resourceful and resilient in a world that rewards people for gratuitous likes rather than the efforts and principles behind hard work.

    This book is truly motivational. It reminds me that we need to stop wallowing in our self pity. Life could be so much worse for us and we need to just get up and do something if we want to take advantage of opportunities that are right in front or your face.

    How many times do we ponder upon what makes us unique? Have we ever thought about what our core values are? Whenever we fail, do we introspect? What is needed to be part of "The 1%" who are the best lot in the world, not in terms of the money they made, but in terms of who they really are? Well, this book has the answers.

    Power of one says there is only one power which is capable of helping you to achieve your dreams, that's YOU! But before you can help yourself,  you need to ignite your inner strength through core values:
    Hard work
    Being trustworthy
    Treating people the way you want to be treated.

    In addition, one needs to stop procrastinating. If you have to do it, do it TODAY. When people don't believe in you, you have to believe in yourself and prove others wrong. As the saying goes, Every great journey has begun with a small but scary first step! Live every day as your last day and give your best in everything you do while being authentic and altruistic. 

    There are several basic things that go unnoticed when we get too much involved in the situation and start living life the way others want us to live. The power of one says, never give the command of your life to anyone else, as YOU are the lone power who can decide your life's fate.

    This book is for everyone who is feeling low in their life and needs motivation. The author has weaved his personal experiences with the learnings he gained through them, which adds a personal touch to this book. The language is lucid and easy to understand. It's a short book, easy to be read in one sitting.

    The book Power of One by Devpal Gupta is a great motivational book. This book will teach you that you should rely only on one person and that is yourself. There are so many principles in this book which one should learn in order to be successful in life. It is very helpful and like a guide book for someone who wants to achieve success in their life. The author came from Tanzania and currently living in Pheonix shows us the power to change our negative thoughts into positive ones. It is a great book to create a wonderful mindset towards success and can help us to tackle all our negative thoughts and move forward in life with a positive mind.

    The principles written in this book are very practical and are easy to understand. If we implement such principles in our life then it can change our life to some great extent. Definitely recommend this book to someone who is looking for motivation to make their life easy by learning some great values of life.💯💯

    Power of one
    We all know that we have to suffer from a lot in our lives. Some beat these demolition and desolation & overcome themselves from these but some people aren't able and strong enough to come out of these .
    As well in this book author described the solutions of these dilemmas perfectly with his personal experience of life .
    What we have to do ? Where we should spend our time to keep it worthy? What right time and right decision we should take? How we can overcome our problems ? So on.
    All the right and positive things which lead us to a positive mind and goal oriented life .
    Everyone has been going through all these hurdles and problems but the strong and determined people cross along and bright like a diamond. All this is depicted in the book with touching emotions and inspiration to those who can't deal with problems.
    It's not a book only it is a muse for all of us .
    I really enjoyed and liked the book as it gave me positive and wonderful vibes . It helped me to boost my mind and thoughts towards positivity .
    I'm happy that I've choosen this book to review . You guys must go for it for a betterment of mind towards good and positive things .
    It's a well guide and one should read this .

    I love the cover design of this book , it is simple and sort of calming. It is a short and inspirational read. This book is the story of author himself. Devpal Gupta and his life , he shares his hardships , goals motivation in this little book without sugar coating it. This book is a collection of fragments from author's life. His take on life is optimistic and sends positive vibes to the reader. It is a boost of motivation. Writing style is quite smooth and it guides the reader from one thing to another. Language is lucid and customary. Narration is good - it doesn't feel like reading a book , it feels like a one on one conversation with the author. Clearing doubts and resonating positivity. It is a short read so it does not consume much time. The whole experience of the book is quite enriching. In my opinion , one should read this genre once in a while. It helps to get clarity on things which we usually neglect in our daily life. Overall I like this book a lot. A book worthy of your time.
