“A lot of the book [The Yoga of Max's Discontent] is about karma and rebirth. Things like that are very attuned to my life as an Indian, but when I approach it from a perspective of a Westerner, then I have a skeptical, yet kind of novice view on it. I think that choice really liberated the story to be its own story. A lot of the conclusions that Max reaches on his own are not mine at all. So, I think that allowed the story to take on its own momentum, to have its own propulsive force.” ThinkingKindBookStoriesChoicesForceViewsMinesPerspectiveApproachYogaKarmaConclusionIndianRebirthSkepticalMomentumDiscontentMaxLiberatedWesternersNovices Author:Karan Bajaj

“The moment you enter Bhutan, you notice that there are no traffic lights. It is almost like you've stepped into a Shangri-La or a vortex of time 200 years ago. Those kinds of experiences are very much of the countryside of Bhutan, where people are truly happy in the sense of not creating and wanting more.” PeopleYearsKindMomentsLightLike YouCreatingYears AgoTrafficCountrysideVortexTruly HappyWanting MoreTraffic LightBhutanShangri Author:Karan Bajaj
“In the year that I take off, I don't have any goals. I just surrender to experiences like traveling or learning yoga and meditation or just living in a completely random place like Mongolia or Portugal or Bhutan. Then when I come back, I am much more intuitive, creative, right-brained. That kind of system has been working very well for me.” YearsWellsKindHas BeensGoalCreativeMeditationYogaSurrenderIntuitivePortugalMongoliaBhutan Author:Karan Bajaj
