Book Review: KEYS by Santosh Joshi



First of all, I would like to thanks Thinkwhynot group for sending me another book to review. I am delighted to share my honest opinion about the book.

KEYS is a Self-help book, however, it differentiates itself from the other similar books in numerous ways and the way it is written and organized will definitely make it successful in carving a niche in the market for itself. 

The author introduces a HLP principle to discover the purpose of life and living the more meaningful and fruitful life. This book is divided into 3 parts:

  • Heal the past
  • Living in the present
  • Plan the future


Part 1 will deal with concepts like why it is important to come out from your past, why should you forgive the people who have done any harm to you only from your sake only.

Part 2 will teach about the importance and health benefits of living in the present. Author stresses that stress cannot exist if we always live in present and what make you sick etc.. Also, author share some ways/tools which can help to live in present moment. 

Part 3 will help you to properly plan your future without feeling anxious. It will also motivate you to find true calling and work towards it.

One of the statements that came to me as a surprise in the book is that everybody knows their purpose of life before taking the birth and hence they select a parents, life and everything, however, by the age of 2 or 3, they start forgetting their purpose as they starts labeling them with their name and become more conditional. Gradually, as the person start labeling him more and more under his name, community, occupation, education, he also starts distancing away from his soul and subconscious mind. In other words, he began to lose the powers associated with soul like intuition, purity, peace, honesty, cheerfulness etc.

In short, my take is summarized in the below points.

  • Even if you are able to implement 30% of what is stated in the book and the author has tried to explain, you will be successful in elevating the quality of your life. 
  •  It will introduce you to the concepts of forgiveness, gratitude, tools to heal your past, happiness, faith etc and thus it is for all those who have lost their true self in today’ rat race.
  • Author has shared his personnel experiences while explaining most of the concepts and this helps the reader to better connect with the Author and his thoughts.
  • It is an easy read and will not take much time. It is 270 pages long and cost 280 bucks.
  •   If you have read Robin sharma, Anupam kher Or have listened to Sister shivani/ Brahma Kumaris, then I think there is no need to read this book. However, if you have not read many self-help books, then starting with this is a good idea as you will not find yourself lost.
