We caught up with Shruti Mundhra, the mind behind Life 24/7, a book that offers a fresh perspective on personal growth, purpose, and everyday wisdom. The book is like a pocket-sized guide to life, ready whenever you need it. Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive into her journey!
“Hi Shruti, thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us! We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to dive into your book and learn more about your professional journey. I have quite a few questions lined up, so let’s get started, here’s the first one!”
Ques 1- What inspired you to write a book that would tap on your personal experience from a magnifying glass view?
“Hi, Thank you. I am glad to answer all your questions. So, I had been thinking of authoring a book for almost 5 years. And had a lot of ideas. Nothing concrete but some vague and some up to the level of what kind of book and some up to a few names of the chapter. This book just happened . and the journey is very interesting. I wanted to write a few pieces for sending out value based content to my community. I thought of writing those and that started the journey. I realized I was very happy with what I have written and since it was going in the flow I thought it could be converted into a book. From the first piece that I wrote I was sending it to a friend and my sister. And when I felt I could write it as a book, they both said go for it. Everything that I have written in the book is a personal experience or learning and having my perspective to it.”
“It’s amazing how sometimes the simplest beginnings, a few shared writings can turn into something monumental.”
Ques 2- How did your professional experiences as a purpose clarity coach help you in finishing this book? By extension, did you face any obstructions while writing this?
“Let me answer the second question first, I didn’t face any obstruction while writing. It was a super free flow when it came to writing and I completed all 31 chapters in 40 days. I have gone through a 15 years journey of my own to understand my purpose in life. And the book not just talks of my professional experience but also personal experience.”
“Wow, It is clear that when experience meets passion, creativity flows effortlessly and apparently very fast too!“
Ques 3- Considering your aim to empower our readers with this book, did you ever feel the pressure or burden of a responsibility on your head?
“I enjoy what I am doing and what I do in general so I never feel any burden but at the same time I feel that since I want to help and that’s my responsibility to be doing for those who feel they need help.”
“That’s the secret sauce, loving what you do makes responsibility feel like opportunity.”
Ques 4- Given the choice, would you change anything from your past or would you let things flow as they did?
“I am a strong believer that what happens in your life is meant to happen so i don’t think i want to change my past. And if i would have thought of changing something in the past then probably i wont be in the same present that I am. Maybe I could have learnt faster than I did.”
“A gentle reminder that sometimes, our growth depends on letting things unfold naturally.”
Ques 5- Did you have a particular reason to not put the chapters in this book in a sequence?
“No particular reason as there cannot be any sequence. No chapter is interconnected and at the same time its all connected. And a reader could read any chapter at any point of time. Read from the page you open.”
“Great, read any way you want.”
Ques 6- Was there any aspect that was emotionally difficult for you to write? If yes, how did you pull through?
“Nothing was emotionally difficult. Just deciding the choice of chapters when I was writing the last 2 or 3 chapters as I had a lot of choices.”
Ques 7- Okay, Much like this book, did you have a guide in your journey to where you are now?
“My guide is always the divine. I am a firm believer that the superpower knows best for me and will give me what I need and deserve to move ahead in life. Everything happens at the divine time.”
“Wow, I feel your believe is also a active source in your journey.”
Ques 8- What type of books do you read or are interested in, apart from this genre?
“Mostly I like to read books where I could learn something. I cant say i read much apart from this genre mostly biographies.”
“Okay nice, I would love catch up later, and get some biography recommendations from you.”
Ques 9- What should our readers expect from you in the future?
“I want to create a series in this line of 24/7, as this is all about having something really handy and easy as a guide in one’s day to day lives 24/7. I do have something in mind. No promises I will. I may be able to do it or maybe not. But I’m looking forward to it myself.”
Ques 10- Reflecting on your debut book publishing journey, what would you advice our readers?
“I always feel everyone should write at least one book in their life. My journey on my debut book was very interesting. I am superbly grateful to Paper Towns Publishers and Manik and his team who helped me in this journey and did everything possible to deliver on the deadline. And made me a published Author of Life 24/7.”
“Writing a book is not just about publishing, it’s about honoring your own journey, your experiences, and your voice.”
Life 24/7 isn’t just a book; it’s a companion for those navigating life’s ups and downs. It reminds us to pause, reflect, and laugh, even in the midst of challenges. Whether you’re seeking guidance, inspiration, or simply a fresh perspective, this book promises to be a beacon, available 24/7.
