About the Book -

‘The Convincing Lie’ is a revelation that questions the very basic human attribute of asking a blueprint to be extraordinary! It questions the whole idea of doing what everyone does while wanting to reach where very few can! It endorses the benefits of embracing cluelessness. It breaks strong prejudices in your head, and helps you know that luck can be designed by perseverance, intent, content and understanding of the two approaches towards defining your life goals - either you take what the world offers you or you get what you want from the world! The latter doesn’t need a blueprint, it needs you to know that number 8 in-fact is infinity that demands a change in direction of your outlook towards everything!

About Author 

Shiv is an everyday ordinary person doing extraordinary things. Professionally he is an automotive enthusiast with 15 years of experience in Autonomous Driving Technology and Embedded systems. Currently, serving as a Program Manager at premiere automotive firm, holds credentials from MITAOE and IIMC.

He’s a back bencher by heart and has been caught bunking multiple lectures, chasing professors over coffee rather than in class. Beyond work, he’s an enthusiastic self-taught snooker player, debater, fitness enthusiast, reader, singer, investor and a lot more, a mix of energy and curiosity through everything he does. His version of solving a Rubik’s cube is to not solve it as faster than usual, rather solve it slow until he discovers how the first person solving it must have felt.

Anyone who knows Shiv would describe him as an exemplary friend and an invested mentor. His empathy and care for people, community, his work and country are at the forefront of how he lives life. The book is an honest attempt to declutter the noise of mainstream media on how to live life and by extension become successful. Its aim is to help people find their most authentic self by sharing anecdotes from Shiv’s own life experiences. Something that he believes is very rarely talked about in today’s world.
