What caused the downfall of the mighty lion at the hands of a mere rabbit in the much loved story from the Panchatantra?
The story where the rabbit takes the lion to the well on the pretext of having him meet his contender as
the king of the jungle is well known. Was it the rabbit's cleverness? Or the lion's overwhelming anxiety

response was more measured and self-assured?

The book brings alive the "Art of Intelligent Living" in the corporate world, a worthy read for every professional. The
book very skillfully and in subtle undertones brings out the fact that there is a big difference in having
an emotion and it "having you".

issues which you face every single day, ranging from meaningful conversations to resolution of conflicts.

People lose a lot of productivity, time and happiness because they do not manage their emotions well. This is a very interesting
and intriguing book that takes inspiration from old stories to share how taking responsibility for your own
emotions will help you to manage your responses to situations.
Aadesh Goyal, CHRO - Tata Communications Group
The book is an intelligent guide for managing emotions in the workplace, illustrated through captivating fables from Indian
folklore. Rashmi Datt thoughtfully weaves together modern management theory with ancient Indian fables in
a way that provides useful and memorable insights into human behaviour. A very interesting and worthwhile
read.
