Accept them as they are.
This is the Author’s Prem Ji is the first book written in the context of finding happiness among unhappiness caused by the people around everyone. These people may be one’s family members, friends, collogues and opponents.
In the words of the Author, what he has written, is like this, in the beginning of the book.
“According to the great philosopher Aristotle, humans are social animals. They are incapable of living in solitude or isolation as they require interaction with others to satisfy their needs and express their thoughts and emotions. Thus, humans thrive most effectively in the presence of companionship.
By instinct and inherent nature, each individual is born with an ego. The majority of us tend to be selfish and possessive, constantly seeking to accumulate more for ourselves. It is rare and uncommon for people to genuinely consider the well-being of others who are not directly connected to them.
The belief that “I am right and the other person is wrong” is prevalent among many.
Those who struggle to achieve success in their own lives often harbor feelings of jealousy towards others. Most people prefer to be passive bystanders, unwilling to intervene or lend a helping hand when someone is in need.
Living harmoniously with people who have diverse attitudes and levels of understanding can be challenging and not straightforward. However, we all need to coexist happily within and outside of our families.
This book focuses on finding a way to live harmoniously with people who are different from us. It emphasizes the importance of changing our behavior and attitude based on how we perceive others.”
The Author has considered everyone as people, who so ever comes into our lives and accordingly deliberated their interaction with us in separate chapters. These are the chapters, DESCRIBING RELATIONSHIPS, PEOPLE OF DIFFERENCE, AM I MISUNDERSTOOD, INFERIORITY COMPLEX, UNDERSTANGING YOURSELF, COMPROMISE AS OPTION, THE ART OF APPRECIATION, POPULARITY AT A PRICE, GROWN UP CHILDREN, WOMEN ARE SPECIAL, DEALING WITH ELDERS, DEALING WITH LONELINESS, SO CALLED FRIENDS, LETTING GO, BE HUMBLE, GIVING IS RECEIVING, LEARNING A CONSTANT PROCESS, PEACE IS JOY, BE A GOOD HUMAN, ULTIMATE GOAL TO BE HAPPY, LOOKING BEYOND RELATIONSHIPS and GOLDEN RULES.
This is a fact that everyone wants to be happy in all circumstances but in most of the cases, the people around us, make us unhappy deliberately and also unknowingly, even sometimes being careless. This is a very complex subject to elaborate in one book but the author has made it interesting, so that one continues reading in a simple language to understand.
His last chapter Golden Rules is the summery in suggesting forms as proverbs so as to remember easily remedies to various issues of controversies, arguments and in the moments of frustrations and failures.

Did I get this life by pleasing everybody, putting up with other people’s bull, and staying up late frosting cupcakes? Heck no. In this book, I will teach you the soul-awakening inner shifts I’ve used—and taught scores of women—that will transform your mental landscape, help you become your best self, and create the life you deserve.
You'll learn how to
Keep away or ignore all those, who make you unhappy, occasionally or as a habit, among family friends and relatives.
A friend who is not will never be. It is futile to make any attempt. Let them as they are.
Be alert at the beginning of any clash or controversies. Learn your own lesson when to withdraw.
Stop judging others or situations. It creates bitterness in you too and in the others.
People in life will come and go. Destiny decides it, not you not me. Do not yearn for them, do not miss them. If they are gone, they are gone.
Explore the power of silence. There is wisdom in speaking less and listening more. Silence solves many problems itself.
Remember you are the only one, who can take care of yourself better. No one else is more interested for you, your affairs and your well being, than you yourself.
Life is very precious, once you take the last breath, no one knows when, there is an end. Make the best out of it, everyday, at every stage of your life.
