Synopsis Everybody in this world makes a conscious endeavour to raise the standard of living . But the standard of life is more important than the standard of living. This warrants a need of human change, which is possible only through Life Skills are the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enables individual to deal effecetively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Just like the world which is composed of five major elements (Panch Mahabut) – space, Fire, Water, Earth and Air; the human life has five pillars – Mind, Body, Emotions, Relationship and Success. Life Skills help the individual to strengthen these pillars to change his attitude to lead a happy and meaningful life. The book Life skills – a guide to steer life is divided into five sections. Each section is connected with the other but appears to be independent in itself. The book helps an individual to manage mind, body, emotions, relations and success to be able to lead life successfully. The jokes, anecdotes, real life incidents and examples make the book not only interesting but also a great deal more inspirational. The book gives a clear message – “It is not the big things but the small things that matter most in Life”.
