Book Journey Update: Printing, Publishing and Pre-order

Book Journey Update / By Satish Shenoy

Greetings! The light is at the end of the tunnel and the book is about to emerge from print to begin its journey. After the laborious cycles of copy-editing, read-aloud and proof-reading the book was sent off to the printer a couple weeks ago! Although I don’t drink alcohol, I think I could have used a strong drink that day to relax a bit and celebrate the hard-earned milestone! Now, we wait for the books to arrive, initially in my hands, and then yours. With some delays in supply chains (no surprise there I guess!) the paperback should be in …

The book cover design includes visual elements including a book title and subtitle, illustrations or images and text with an attractive color scheme with spine formatting, back cover design, …

Book Journey Update: Acknowledgments

Uncategorized / By Satish Shenoy

Greetings! Things have picked up steam on the work front and the “writing” part of the book journey is also drawing to a close. I have started traveling on work and I am finishing up the proofreading phase on the book – this is the final stage before we go to print. I will share the updates that on the proof-reading (and the copy editing phase before that) the next time.

Making a Molehill out of a Mountain

Scaling up / By Satish Shenoy

Making a Molehill out of a Mountain Chances are that at some point in our lives, we have taken a trivial challenge and perceived it to be bigger than it is, a behavior more commonly known as making “a mountain out of a molehill”. The question is can we flip this idea on its head and make a molehill out of a mountain? The simple answer is Yes. Let’s explore this further. Of course when we are talking trivial challenges those are easy to tackle. Even when the challenge seems insurmountable at first, I have found that there is always …

Book Journey Update: Podcasts & Talks

Blog, Book Journey Update / By Satish Shenoy

Greetings! Things have been much of a roller coaster for me over the last 4 weeks and hence the long silence. My sincere apologies. I had to go to India for over 2 weeks to participate in family rituals after the passing of both my parents over the last 9 months. My mom passed away unexpectedly in March 2021 and was followed by my Dad in Jan 2022. They were inseparable in life as they were in death. Sadly, I could not visit during either of their passing due to the raging COVID epidemic in India in March 2021 and …
