I am writing, actually handwriting, a new book.
It is titled – The Sketchbook of Wisdom: A Hand-Written Manual on the Pursuit of Wealth and Good Life. I aim to release it in December 2020.
My idea through this book is to bring to you wisdom from Krishna to Taleb, Socrates to Munger, Vivekanand to Steve Jobs, and Kabir to Naval Ravikant, as it applies to our lives today. The ideas in this book will cover a range of topics like investing, personal finance, behaviour, decision making, learning, and life.
Peter Bevelin wrote in his book Seeking Wisdom –
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.
I have no intention to change you or your thinking through my book. What you will read in these pages are the notes that I have written to myself and the lessons I have offered myself over the years, through my own experience and that of others. And in that very spirit, like my notes, this book will be entirely hand-written.
Download 10 ideas from the book by signing up for my free newsletter – The Safal Niveshak Post – that offers time-tested ideas to help you handle your money in the most intelligent way.
* No charge. No spam. Only wisdom.
I welcome you to join me in this pursuit of timeless wisdom.
Please help me share the word about the book on WhatsApp, Twitter, LinkedIn.
I also welcome your suggestion(s) on the book, and your feedback after reading the ten free ideas. Please share the same in the Comments section of this post.
Thank you in anticipation.
With respect,

Hi Vishal,
Seems to be an interesting book. This is like a dictionary of wisdom from the point of view of life, investing & finance. Look forward to the launch and can’t wait to get my hands on this. Wish you all the very best 🙂
Interesting concept..look forward to the book….a little more line / word spacing may enhance reading comfort
Hi Vishal,
I am looking forward to this book. Wish you all the best.
How do you make handwritten notes look so good? Is this on paper or do you use some software?
Thanks,
Surendran
Where will I be able to buy a copy?
Hi Vishal,
Thanks for sharing a glimpse of the book, it looks really interesting! eagerly waiting for it….
Just needed one clarification, under the point ‘Dont Quantify everything’, in the 2nd paragraph, isnt it “the less mathematical you are” rather than “the less non-mathematical you are”? Correct me if I got it wrong.

You are right, Sriharsha. Have corrected. Thanks!
Hi Vishal, i already read most of pages in this issue, and they are beautifully written as usual. One suggestion is regarding the font darkness and width. When we look at a whole page at once, it looks darkness little bit on the higher side.
Just that.
Hi Vishal,
In order to gain financial acumen , i came across to your blog post and reading it from few months.
I found your knowledge and communication is nonparallel to other financial advice and available at internet.
Your recent post clearly connects dots from financial world to spirituality and much beyond that.
Thank you so much, awaiting for your book.
Congratulations in advance !! Best wishes. Thanks.
Been sharing the zines you made. It’s a really interactive way of sharing personal finance insights through sketches.
You should consider putting up a pre-order, might help in supply planning as well. I will be amongst the first ones to pre-order. All the best!
Hey, Vishal.
Love your wisdom on investment and life in general, especially the way you convey them. I will get your back as soon it comes to shelves.
Thanks!
Hi Vishal,
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your book will be a great addition for anyone’s library !! I believe font darkness can be improved and size should be reduced to alleviate stress on eyes
Looking forward to the release of the book. All the best Vishal.
Excellent vishal…
We now have a vision through visual..
Thank you so much for this kinda value…
Dear Vishal,
Congratulations! At the same time I wish to extend my sincerest thanks for sharing the wisdom which you have acquired through your hard work, voracious reading and from the consistency of your thought and practice in value investing! Let us all take the maximum benefit from this book in enriching our knowledge to be healthy, wealthy and wise!
Regards
Dear Vishal,
Congratulations! Many thanks for sharing some of the knowledge and wisdom of Gurus in your own handwriting! I look forward to read your complete work when published.

Hi Vishal,
on Page 9 “In investing and business analysis the less non-mathematical you are…”.
I think what you mean here is “less mathematical you are..”
You are right, Arpit. Have corrected. Thanks!
Look forward to buying a copy! Your work inspires!
Hi Vishal
It sounds good. Really a new concept eagerly waiting for the release of your book.
Regards
Rabindra Giri
I always look forward to your articles as they are really precise and truly worth reading.
I look forward to the launch of this book.
Great Book, Vishal. Thank you for sharing 🙏!!
On page 8, under Equanimity graph I think you want to modify second line “about” replaced by “around”.
i eagerly look forward to getting this book. where I can get the 10 ideas which you have mentioned in the above letter.
thanks & regards
Great Vishal Sir,
Your book name and content seems unique and will serve the purpose that’s what I believe.
Looking forward to it.
With Love,
Ananda Pradhan
