The Review:    

 ‘’Thoughts have power, thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.’’

                                                                                                        -Susan Taylor

 I strongly believe in a saying ‘You become what you think about’ because that’s what we actually manifest to the universe, unknowingly. In times like these when people are going through disappointment, heartbreak and weak moments, Vitamin H brings a ray of hope, strength and optimism. It brings you an opportunity to embrace the brighter side of life despite the deadlocks, uncertainty and darkness.

                                                 

The Reviewer's Heart…

‘Vitamin H’ by Abhishek Deepa Thakkar is a collection of one-hundred-eleven motivating quotes. The collection has been curated in such a way that readers can sink into one thought a day and practise it consciously in their daily lives. This book is more like a personal therapy and it will address the much-needed affirmations you’ve been waiting for someone to tell you.

 

‘You deserve to be loved and accepted

With all your strengths and flaws.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise’

 Through his words of wisdom, Abhishek has beautifully touched different facets of raw emotions. Rather, I’d like to put it in a way, ‘he has diligently optimised reverse psychology’. His ability to weave unsettling emotions and acknowledgement of the same reflects his balanced sensitive and rational side. I would like to appreciate the poet’s attempt at elevating the lives of people and inspiring them through this compilation. The dose of one quote a day will bring you healing, hope, happiness and heartiness. For anyone going through a rough phase or a bad day, this book can bring sheer joy, solace and contentment. Owing to the simple, short and crisp thoughts, anyone can read it. This book is a treasure and a source of enlightenment. Apparently, I had a bad day when I begin reading it but as I read further till the end, the positive change in my demeanour was quite evident, thanks to the author. I feel the book cover could have been better with more hues of yellow and greens than blue. Also, at a few places, I felt there was some sort of disconnect as it read from one quote to another. It would have been interesting if the author had penned some real-life experiences or inspiration as a reference to his thoughts.

Why should one read this book?

These short, simple yet powerful quotes are sure to empower your ability to self-love. If you are planning to pick a book for motivation and positivity, I recommend you to go ahead with this one for sure.
