What can Amitabh Bachchan’s life teach us in our pursuit of excellence? Everything.
Amitabh Bachchan is not just a brilliant actor or the ‘Superstar of the Millennium’. He is an institution in himself—not just for acting but everything that makes a person successful in his life. Most of his virtues—like professionalism, determination, a never-say-die attitude—are traits which one can follow to achieve the ‘Excellence’ everyone aspires for. Four National Film Awards, 15 Filmfare Awards and 41 nominations hold testimony to his excellence. How does he sail through different phases of life—the good, the bad and the ugly, which in his case are the best, the worst and the horrid—unruffled? How did he manage an unpredictable film career along with a failed business venture and then rose like a phoenix, never to look back again? All this requires unwavering determination, willpower, patience and a disposition to take it all in one’s stride. In this book, educationist and inspirational guru Virender Kapoor analyses each and every trait of Bachchan that is immensely inspiring. Excellence: The Amitabh Bachchan Way not only reveals Big B’s professional ‘secrets’, it also teaches one how to make the best of what we have!

Review:
This book is a life story of Amitabh Bachchan. It’s a book full of Inspiration that we can take from the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. This book teaches a lot. It talks about Amitabh Bachchan’s simple way of living, how he accepts failures, how he motivates himself, how he values time, and money. How he Respects each and everyone around him. The author has spoken about each trait in details in the chapters giving examples from his life and various incidents that made him what he is today. And the author has also Included what we can learn from that incident which is again like a cherry on the cake. From his production house to his Journey of Becoming an actor, from the time when he was hospitalised to his latest debut. This book teaches how one can change their life by making simple changes which can give their life a good direction. It’s about attitude, punctuality and respect. This book has some amazing quotes and lines which will surely change one’s life.  The pace of the story is good, it’s easy and smooth. The tempo is little slow but again full of surprises. Reading Amitabh Bachchan’s life journey is always a treat to a reader. He is an Inspiration to each and every one. This book will give you goosebumps when you’ll read about Amitabh’s accident during Shooting. We’re all aware of how much Amitabh struggled, but we were not aware of his reactions. With this book, you’ll see how Mr Bachchan faced each and every struggle, his thoughts, a way of handling crisis and life’s situations.
It’s all about the Incidents he faced that made him what he is today. His words, to his voice, his personality to style is evergreen but how he treats everyone with love and respect is what makes him a Legendary today.

I loved the cover and the blurb of the book. It’s impressive. Simple Language, Smooth pace, accurate Narration, wonderful tempo, makes this book a beautiful read.

There’s a lot you can learn from his life, from this book. All you need is to just pick up this read. an and you’re his fan, Do not miss this read.
