Life can be complicated or straightforward. It all depends on how you approach it. If you live life with the wrong information and knowledge, you will have regrets. However, if you follow some of the advice in Wisdom by Arun Mago, you might have a chance to make the most out of life.

The author shared his thoughts on many aspects of human existence, from money matters to managing relationships. In between his perspectives of different facets of life, he threw in pockets of advice to help the reader live their best life.

The first thing I noticed about this book was how orderly the book was. The author arranged the chapter titles in alphabetical order. Although it had no significant impact on the quality of the book's content, I could not help but admire his organizational skills. He also knew when and how to present bullet points. The organization I saw in this book was appealing to my eyes.

The author was concise in his approach to this book. He focused only on what was necessary for the reader. For instance, the book did not have preliminary chapters like introduction, preface, dedication, etc. Immediately after the table of contents, the author entered the first chapter. I liked that about the book.

I enjoyed the author's use of mnemonics at strategic points in the book. It reminded me how I used mnemonics to memorize lists, especially for tests or examinations. A few of the mnemonics were RESPONSIBLE (reliable, effective, sensitive, punctual, organized, negotiable, sensible, bold, legit/legible, and essential), LIFE (laugh every day, imagine your dreams and follow them, find a passion and pursue it, and enjoy a lot), and DREAM (daily, repetitive, emotional, and anticipated moments).

I liked the use of images to convey some messages pictorially. However, there were two instances where the author could have described the images used. The first was a picture of an Indian couple, and the second was a picture of one of the female presidents. Describing those pictures would have helped me know them better and appreciate their presence in the book. There was nothing else I disliked in the book.

The book was professionally edited. Regardless of the issue I had with the author not describing some pictures, I'd rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. The complaint was not enough to affect my enjoyment of the book negatively. I'd recommend this book to people needing candid advice for different areas of their lives.
