Publisher's Synopsis
Chanakya Neeti is the story of Chanakya, conventionally known as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. He was initially a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, and later on administered the first Maurya emperor, Chandragupta Maurya, to ascend to supremacy at a young age. Chanakya is one of the greatest figures of wisdom and knowledge in the Indian history; he is one of the finest philosophers and diplomat in the country's past.
Chanakya was a King maker and crowned Chandragupta Maurya as the ruler and preferred to serve him as his mentor. The book is a dissertation on the model way of life and shows his in-depth understanding of the Indian ways. These realistic and potent tactics provide a path to live a systematic and designed life leading to success in all facets. If understood well, this book can be an answer to all everyday problems in one's life.
Chanakya also introduced Neeti-Sutras, sayings or pithy sentences, which inform people about the ideal behavior that one should carry. He used these sutras to spruce Chandragupta and other chosen disciples in the art of ruling a kingdom. But these sutras are highly relevant to today's times too due to Chanakya's superb understanding of the timeless Indian mindset. It still stands to be one of the best management books for the current times.
Chanakya Neetis and Chanakya Sutras have been compiled together in this book to make his astuteness easily accessible to readers. This book was published by Diamond Books in 2012, and is available in paperback.
