The Mind Is a Terrible Boss

"On the morning I was sure I was going to die, I was mostly worried about a PowerPoint presentation."

Bittu was a champion overthinker. He rehearsed arguments that never happened, replayed mistakes from years ago, and held board meetings with himself at 3 a.m. Then one morning, on a crowded metro platform in Delhi, his mind finally pushed him too far.

What brought him back wasn't a guru or a retreat. It was a small town, a stubborn old headmaster, and four words his grandmother once whispered to him on a rooftop when he was nine years old.

Warm, funny, and deeply practical, The Mind Is a Terrible Boss blends ancient Indian wisdom with modern psychology to show you how to stop working for the voice in your head, without fighting it, silencing it, or pretending to "think positive."

Inside, You'll Discover:

- Why fighting your thoughts only makes them louder
- The simple practice of watching your mind, and finding the gap between a thought and you
- How to stop replaying the past and rehearsing disasters that never come
- Why worrying about what people think is louder in your head than in real life
- What to do when your mind calls a meeting at 3 a.m.
- How to feel everything fully without being swept away
- A 7-day plan to take back the chair from the boss in your head

No religion required. No robes. No incense. Just a way out.
