'I loved this beautiful book. It's tender and compassionate, written with exquisite care and verve, and so so SO funny' MARIAN KEYES Professor Chandra is about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. In the moments after the bicycle accident, Professor Chandra begins to reassess his life, his career and his relationship with his three children. He's just missed out on the Nobel Prize (again).

And so he must try to crack the most complex problem of all: the secret to his own happiness

Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss Bewertungen

"I loved this beautiful beautiful book. It's tender and compassionate, written with exquisite care and verve, and so so SO funny" -- Marian Keyes
"Chandra is a delightful creation: peevish, intolerant, intellectually exacting, unwittingly eccentric, nerdy, needy let lovable. The book, like its picaresque hero, is a one-off" -- Patricia Nicol * Sunday Times *
"This brilliant and eloquent novel, which puts into words so many unutterable annoyances, is a sort of Zen satire in which tolerance and understanding mingle with hilarious criticism of contemporary mores. It's a wonderful read" -- Wendy Holden * Daily Mail *
"Rajeev Balasubramanyam gently pokes fun at the modern fondness for positivity, but tells a disarmingly positive story... The writing is elegant and witty and the comedy is always underpinned with humanity; a life without bliss is no life, and the gradual dawning of Chandra's self-awareness is genuinely uplifting" -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
"Balances satire and self-enlightenment... a surprisingly soulful family tale that echoes Jonathan Franzen's Corrections in its witty exploration of three children trying to free themselves from the influence of their parents" -- Ben East * Observer *
