This book made me reflect on how important it is to consciously build a life that reflects who I truly am, rather than who others expect me to be. I’ve understood that I can learn from others without losing my own identity.
One thought that stayed with me is that I don’t want to wear someone else’s shirt just because it fits their definition of me. I want to make choices that align with my values and, most importantly, become someone I genuinely like, respect, and feel proud of.

Book Review by Nandita: *The I in Life* by Santhosh
Santhosh, my colleague, wrote I in Life, a book that happened to reach me at a rather meaningful point in my own timeline—when I was trying to understand and make sense of the things happening around me. In many ways, the book arrived at the right time and gave me an opportunity to pause, look inward, and reflect on the “what, when, how, and why” behind some of the experiences and choices that have shaped my life.
What makes this book particularly interesting is the way it takes the reader through the pivotal journey of one’s life, layer by layer. It encourages us to explore the many factors—both conscious and unconscious—that influence our thoughts, decisions, behaviours, and ultimately, our life choices. The process feels less like reading a book and more like having a conversation with oneself.
It is evident that Santhosh has invested nearly two decades in developing and refining the theories and frameworks presented in the book. What I particularly appreciated is that these concepts are supported by practical mechanisms that allow us to assess and understand ourselves without making the process feel overwhelming or monotonous.
The real beauty of The I in Life lies in its inward journey. It encourages us to examine the different versions of ourselves that have emerged through our life stories and to view those experiences through both our own lens and the perspectives of others.
I would genuinely recommend this book to anyone who is curious about understanding themselves better and searching for answers to some of life’s deeper questions. Santhosh offers meaningful tools to help us map that journey of self-discovery—one layer at a time.

“The I in Life” by Santhosh Gopi Darurie is a deeply insightful workbook that arrives exactly when you need to pause and make sense of your experiences. It masterfully breaks down complex philosophical ideas into practical, relatable frameworks that encourage genuine self-reflection. Rather than feeling like a traditional self-help guide, it reads like a guided conversation with your inner self, taking you layer by layer through the conscious and unconscious factors that shape your thoughts, behaviors, and life choices.
The practical tools provided for self-assessment make it easy to map your inward journey and regulate your emotions without the process ever feeling overwhelming. If you are looking to better understand your life’s path, take ownership of your decisions, and become a better version of yourself, this book is an invaluable read. Highly recommended for anyone curious about understanding themselves on a deeper level.
