Santoshs book is a journey for the senses. Evocatively, beautifully written it transports you to the world he has inhabited and thence to the simplicity and power of his message. For anyone seeking to more deeply understand their journey or find more peace I would recommend joining Santosh as he takes you into his world.

In this book, Santosh courageously and candidly reveals his own shortcomings and growing pains, and how these inferiorities help him transform. After an arduous soul searching, he went from a mind-dominated individual to a conscious being, similar to the breakthrough of a beautiful butterfly from a cocooned caterpillar. What he left behind was a hard shell of ignorance and self-identification. His journey of transformation resonates with and assures me that I am not alone with my quest for meaning in life. I feel inspired by Santoshs story, and I am confident that other readers will be inspired too.

I am inspired by Santoshs courage and honesty in sharing his lifes journey in this book.

His ability to share his stories and invite readers to reflect on the lessons learnt is powerful and effective.

This book presents an opportunity to draw on his wisdom around the art of mindfulness and how we each have a choice to live a joyful and abundant life.

In this book, Santosh Nambiar outlines his journey from a village in Kerala to a mindful global citizen. It is a raw, authentic, thought provoking and uplifting narrative for the soul. His lessons provide a blueprint on how to transform ourselves which in turn produces miracles for those around us.

This is a story of a small-town boy whose life takes him through an emotional rollercoaster only to come to realise his true self hidden beneath the layers of the conditioned self. It is about finding your own path, your own rhythm towards a well-balanced, grounded and conscious life. The author has beautifully shared his inner journey and how he was able to realize the full potential of the intellect vs intelligence and summarised it as the art of conscious balance for the Six Cs of life.

If we forget who we are right now and get into the spirit of this little boy as we read this story, what we will experience, will indeed be our personal reflection, of who perhaps we are with all our struggles in life and who we can be if we are able to realise this simple truth of life.

This gentle autobiographical tale has a real sting in its tail, a strong message for those of us who enjoy a good read with some meaty substance. Santosh paints a beautiful picture of an idyllic childhood in a small village in Southern India. A perfect backdrop and loving foundation for a life which from most perspectives would appear fulfilled, but which threatens to unravel when crisis appears. And as often happens, a crisis is exactly what may be needed to wake us up from the deeply conditioned way of living. To me, this is the real substance of this delightful book, the insights Santosh realises through his own investigations and eloquently shares, will be a help and inspiration for all seekers of truth (and those who do not yet know they are on a seeking path).

I am greatly appreciative of Santoshs (and others) efforts in bringing such a message of hope through the telling of their journey to awakening, there is much to share and many thirsty travellers.

A book that will appeal strongly to any thinking person, particularly a seeker. As an educator, I found this exploration of Santosh Nambiar quite remarkable in many ways. Most importantly, I was struck by how he relied on his Inner Teacher to find answers to deep questions that have plagued humankind since time immemorial. And I am left asking, as he does: Why dont schools talk about this? A very inspiring read !

Santoshs book is a fascinating account of the transformational journey of his life so far. Santosh shares with us the challenges life threw at him at various points on this journey and how these experiences forced him to self-introspect and try to understand the very purpose of it all. He has found peace and a meaning to his life through this process of introspection. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has the inclination to pause and undertake a self-examination.

Santhosh Nambiars book on his inner journey or rather his amazing journey from his picturesque village in Kerala, to his life in New Zealand and Australia is a must read.

Easy to read and understand the difference between Intellect and Intelligence.

In his latest book The Art of Conscious Balance Santosh Nambiar makes readers aware of the difference between the intellect and intelligence. How limited and constrained ones intellect is and how one can open up to the vastness (unlimited) of the intelligence in the universe, that would open up a path to peace, joy and happiness in ones life. Great read and presented in an easy-to-understand format by the author. I highly recommend this book.

A wonderful read! Santosh gives sage advice about following the intelligence of the universe vs. relying on your own (comparatively) small intellect. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to understand themselves better - for those yearning for guidance and light from someone who truly knows and understands.

This book is a strong call to understand self and gain a better understanding of human behaviour. The questions Santosh has asked in the book will shake the foundations of the mind conceived conditioned self and will set you on a path to explore the true self who you truly are. Well written and refreshing to read.

This is a refreshing and easy to read story of the authors personal journey through life. Yet it is both powerful and insightful. Santosh is brutally honest about his character and experiences, which allow the reader to discover or, perhaps rediscover, a deep understanding of their own insecurities and selfishness. Importantly, Santosh provides a way to how we can all become better human beings by understanding, and striving for, aConscious Balance.
