Acharya Prashant launches ‘Decoding Success’, calls for inner inquiry over material pursuit

Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), May 18, 2025 (ANI): Renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has unveiled his new book 'Decoding Success', a compelling inquiry into the modern pursuit of success and its deeper psychological and spiritual implications. he also outlined an alternative vision of success, one that begins with introspection.  Addressing media, he said, "There is a kind of success in which we just follow the external standards of success without knowing who you're and what you want and then you say if I achieve X, Y or Z stuff that others have been telling me to achieve then I too will be labeled as successful…That is one kind of success and that we said is the kind of success that involves lot of consumption without giving you any satisfaction and has hence resulted in a kind of climate crisis we are facing today." Further he also outlined an alternative vision of success, one that begins with introspection. “Then there is another success in which you first figure out what is it that holds you back and what is it that you really want. It is obvious that for anybody to be successful or a winner, first of all it has to be seen where all the weaknesses are, where the inner defeats are. If I do not know what keeps me down, what keeps me defeated, where do I keep losing, if I know none of that then there is no way I can be successful."
