The 5 attitudes in section A are just perfect, very inspirational. I even have my teen age son reading your book. It's a truly impressive body of work.

Amidst tough times, your words of wisdom keep me going!

Highly recommend, writer is an expert in this subject..

Hindu mythology in an experienced manager’s eyes, a fresh perspective, plenty of learnings to put the best foot forward.

Indeed, a “go back to basics” guide for all situations and seasons. Particularly, I was impressed with the author painstakingly identifying and bringing out the core management principles from the scriptures and literature written in different languages and presenting them in a logical structure and lucid flow. It is amazing to read these gems coming from people living hundreds and thousands of years apart in disparate political, social, and economic realities, yet all preaching the same principles!

Read first few chapters, quite interesting and it's like a real story with lots of rich exposure and practical experiences with quotes from Ramayana and Mahabaratha. Very interesting. In a cricket if 'Opening Batsman' performs well with his counterpart, things will take it on it's own course. In a similar way, the author of the book described in a simple language with lot of quotes / counter examples from Ramayana and Mahabaratha, about the Board's perspectives and organization growth. Well written.

I'm savouring your book GIBR like Pal Payasam. Interesting plot and juxtaposing it with myths and legends adds value to the book. Itihasa - That what happened. So GIBR is happening.

The 'Grandma In The Board Room' is a good book for great reading. The book is written with well thought out, real-life stories, anecdotes, Philosophy, and mythology combined in the right proposition makes the reading interesting. The authors have narrated many stories I believe is their real-life experience in the corporate world which makes the book interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to make life meaningful, purposeful, and succeed in life with all the adversities. My best wishes to the authors of this book.

I just finished reading GIBR and found the storyline and characters very engaging. The authors are very well-read and it was impressive to see how they wove mythology, philosophy and ethics into the mix. It cleverly looks back at the past and provides a bold new direction for the future, while staying true to core Indian values

A completely different approach to Management Process. This book mesmerized me and the characters depict true characters. This book with tons of stories will help one to create many Success Stories. Please Go Ahead and acquire M.B.S (Management By Stories) degree.

Interesting book lots of real time scenarios n practical examples. One can read this book to learn and adapt many things to make a perfect living.

Author has done a lot of research into literature as is evident from the quotes in the book. He has done a great job to tie ancient literature to current age and provided good examples from current age. The book is easy to read, interesting and not too long so it can easily be finished.

I read the book and it was really a wonderful experience. I really liked the Conscious, sub-conscious mind differences, and also all those citings you referred from ancient history. We have a book club in our office and I have recommended that we read your book. This includes my team in the US too and they are equally excited about reading the book together. Keep Writing!!! Waiting for your next book.

This book is something every professional must read and keep a copy. It completely relates to day-to-day problems at work and suggests as to how one should handle them. Having read this book is a huge blessing as I am clear what should I do in the rest of my professional life.

Very informative and free flowing writing and highly motivating book

Dear Mr. Jaganathan,

I hope you're doing well.

My name is Juliet M, and I am one of the organizers and co-hosts of Manhattan Book Club, a global community of passionate readers who connect through virtual events, meaningful discussions, and a shared love of literature.

I recently came across Don't Sell Your Brain for Peanuts: Empower your Human Potential Beyond AI's Limits, and I was immediately intrigued by both its title and its central message. In a time when AI is rapidly becoming woven into everyday life, your book raises a profoundly important question: How do we embrace technological advancement without surrendering the very human qualities that make innovation, creativity, and critical thinking possible?

What particularly resonated with me was your idea that the future belongs not simply to those who use AI, but to those who can question it, challenge it, and think beyond its statistical boundaries. The distinction you draw between AI as a cognitive amplifier and AI as a cognitive sedative creates the kind of intellectual tension that naturally sparks meaningful discussion among readers.

Books that challenge assumptions and encourage people to rethink the way they engage with the world often leave a lasting impact, and your work feels very much like one of those books.

Because of this, I believe our readers would genuinely value the opportunity to discuss your ideas and learn more about the thinking and experiences that inspired the book.

At Manhattan Book Club, our community brings together readers from around the world who enjoy thoughtful literary conversations and engaging directly with authors. Previous featured authors have particularly enjoyed the opportunity to connect with readers from different countries and backgrounds through authentic one-on-one and group discussions about their work, ideas, and creative journeys.

I believe your book could inspire fascinating conversations within our community, especially around creativity, human potential, ethics, and the evolving relationship between people and technology.

If this sounds interesting, simply reply with **"I'd love to learn more,"** and I'd be delighted to share additional details. There is absolutely no obligation.

Thank you for your time, and congratulations on creating a book that encourages readers not only to use technology, but to think more deeply about what it means to remain fully human in an increasingly automated world.

Warm regards,
Juliet M,
Organizer & Co-Host,
Manhattan Book Club.

Connecting readers worldwide through virtual events, meaningful discussions, and a shared love of literature.

Blending healthcare, politics, and the massive changes in the IT world over the last few decades into a fun crime was really a vey good idea. The book is very interesting and engrossing.
An appealing feature is the Indian sensibility running through the book. Jaganathan sir's writing often connects modern challenges with older wisdom, showing that questions of discipline, judgment, priority, and self-mastery are not new.
Through narrations and pictures it gives a very good glimpse of growth of IT industry.
Overall, Select and Delete is a meaningful, timely, and readable work. It reminds us that wisdom is not only the art of choosing well, but also the courage to remove what has become unnecessary. For readers seeking clarity in work, relationships, habits, and personal growth, the book offers a useful and memorable guide.

Select and Delete by Shri T. Jagannathan is a deeply reflective and thought-provoking crime thriller work that beautifully captures the essence of life’s journey. Through engaging narratives, insightful observations, and gentle wisdom, the author reminds readers that life is as much about what we choose to retain as it is about what we consciously let go.
When I purchased this book on a Tuesday, I kept it for weekend. But as I do with newly purchased Novels, I read a few pages and ended up finishing the book before weekend .


The book encourages introspection on relationships, experiences, ambitions, and memories, highlighting how selective acceptance and graceful detachment can lead to personal growth and inner peace. Written in a simple yet impactful style, it resonates with readers across generations and leaves them with valuable lessons on prioritising what truly matters.

Another appealing feature is the Indian sensibility running through the book. Jaganathan’s writing often connects modern challenges with older wisdom, showing that questions of discipline, judgment, priority, and self-mastery are not new.
What makes the book particularly appealing is its ability to blend practical life lessons with emotional depth. It is not merely a book to be read but one to be revisited, as different chapters reveal new meanings at different stages of life.

A compelling and enriching read, Select and Delete is a reminder that wisdom often lies in knowing what to preserve and what to leave behind.

Great Book!!
