Official Blurb
A good job, hard work, IQ, EQ, good communication skills--these are all ingredients for a successful life. The presence of these elements alone, however, does not guarantee success. To convert them into long-term success, you need certain stimuli that precipitate or accelerate your growth. This robustly effective book identifies the various catalysts that you can cultivate and how you can leverage them to propel yourself in your work and life.
Accessible, engaging, and easy to follow, and written by someone who has experienced all this in real life and not, in theory, Catalyst will arm you with the right tools to succeed at your workplace and get the most out of every moment, every day.

This, coupled with his sense of values and spirituality, has led him to believe that every person must impact society positively. He has conducted numerous speaking sessions, which have benefited over 1000 people, and mentored and guided many others to be successful in their careers.
Book Review
The book is a short read and it describes a TMRR (Target, Measure, Review, and Reflect) model that we could use in our career to get success. The base of the book is a framework for success in life and at work. The author has given lots of examples from his own career to help readers.
The author recommends to build out a hobby that you are passionate about. It is different from management and self-help books but you can learn valuable life lessons through this book.
The book itself is very intriguing to read and I would like to suggest that others should try this book and methods in it…
