Thinking Through Change – Essays by Dr. Rajeev Uberoi | Pre-Order

About the Book

What does it really mean to understand a changing world?

Economies are shifting, technology is redefining finance and work, global power is being reshaped, and institutions are under pressure. Our ideas about relationships, society and meaning keep evolving too. Thinking Through Change brings together 80 essays by Dr. Rajeev Uberoi that look at these changes through the lenses of economy and markets, corporate governance, geopolitics, technology, philosophy, spirituality and the human condition.

The pieces began as reflections shared on LinkedIn and social media, written in response to events and ideas that seemed worth pausing over. Gathered into a book, they show their connections. A thought on banking leads to one on trust. A piece on geopolitical fragmentation leads to one on economic resilience. A reflection on governance returns to the idea of stewardship. The author’s aim is to look beyond the headline and ask what lies beneath it.

This is not a book of ready-made answers. Some arguments are deliberately provocative, some are hypotheses, and some are policy suggestions offered for consideration. The author says openly that you may agree with some of them, disagree with others, or reach conclusions of your own.

Inside the book, readers will discover:

• India’s economic ambitions, including the $10 trillion goal, growth, banking, gold, GST, UPI and the rupee
• Global finance and the dollar: de-dollarisation, global debt, BRICS reserves, cryptocurrency, custody and cross-border payments
• Corporate governance and law, from independent directors and advisory boards to compliance, SEBI’s tightening and the Unitech resolution
• Geopolitics and a changing world order, including NATO, democracy, war and what the author calls the “new physics of power”
• Technology and AI, from the AI gold rush to the idea of technology as the new oil
• Philosophy and life: Vedanta, karma, letting go, Viktor Frankl, marriage, relationships, social capital and planning for the later decades of life

Most essays run only a few pages, so you can read them one at a time or follow a theme through the book. Thinking Through Change is for readers who want to slow down, question their assumptions and think for themselves.
