The lives we live are a direct function of the decisions and choices we make. Innumerable books have been written on the process of why and how we take decisions or for that matter feel, act and react. What strikes one the most after reading The Intuitive Compass is the lucid and effortless way it leads the reader’s mind to look into his/her decision making system- prodding one to reflect that though we recognized the role of the gut or intuition in our lives but rarely acknowledge the same in public spaces. This conscious denial of a subconscious gift is a powerful mirror that we hold up in our hands while reading this book. The well articulated role of play and how it needs to flow into work, the benefits of sometimes circumventing reason to tap into our reservoir of creativity are not very “comfortable” suggestions for minds trained to revere reason, logic and tangibles. I love the way the content pushes the reader out of his/her comfort zone to question, reflect, learn and experience; the book caters to this whole process and at the same time doesn’t favor/disfavor any view with force. This is what encourages individual belief, leaving each one to choose for themselves. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and creativity- may the world play with it! Francis Cholle’s book is a gift to the restless world.

– Brij Bakshi, Director of India’s National Public Television Broadcaster (Doordarshan)
