ABOUT THIS BOOK

This is the story of a corporate spiritualist, if ever there was one.

It started with a young author Megha Bajaj’s quest to find answers to the questions that surrounded her existence—is it possible to be childlike and yet have the wisdom of an old soul?

Is it possible to lead a life that is materialistically abundant and yet spiritually grounded?

Her search led her to Hari Prasad Kanoria, a ‘corporate spiritualist’ whose life had been an example of how to be passionately involved in day-to-day activities and still have a part of the ‘self ’ immersed in the higher consciousness. This was a man who balanced his life on two pillars—faith in God and belief in himself. As Megha explored Hari Prasad’s life, she started finding answers to the everyday dilemmas she had been facing.

In Happiness in the Age of Ambition, she takes on the role of a kathavachak (the narrator) to share the extraordinary tale of Hari Prasad, who founded several leading enterprises. This book is not just the story of a business legend but an answer to the trials and tribulations of people across the world, as they struggle to find a fine balance to manage the contradictions of life that affect their peace of mind. It is a book for the young and the old alike; for those seeking meaning in life, and those chasing materialistic and spiritual pleasures.
