To Unshakable Bliss: A Techie's Adventure

We embark on life’s journeys, bursting with dreams and ambitions destined for greatness. With each hard-won peak, the expected bliss proves fleeting. New milestones pass, achievements accumulate, and yet, lasting happiness dangles just out of reach before the next desire hijacks its hope.

How does anyone find enduring fulfillment impervious to life's unpredictable turbulences in our fast-paced modern times?

This philosophical novel chronicles a Silicon Valley technologist, Qayum, whose tumultuous experiences spark questions about the essence of existence. Blending psychology, neuroscience, and ancient teachings from Stoic and Vedantic texts, the gripping spiritual fiction employs lyrical prose and thought-provoking vignettes on a journey of self-transformation.

Eastern philosophy’s esoteric concepts of illusion, consciousness, and natural laws come to life in engaging dialogues, revealing the timeless tools for monk-like equanimity while being fully engaged in life's dance.
