Powerful: The Indian Woman's Guide to Unlocking Her Full Potential

Very insightful

The detailed explanation of every woman is so exciting and really a good read definitely worth buying. Everyone should read it to unlock her best potential. Highly recommended ❤️

The author began the story with "My story of power", which I believe is the best way to begin the book. The author included examples of the goddess Laxmi and Durga. Cover with Bindi symbol is quite intelligent. The author has also included recent scenarios. She used references and examples of Manusmriti, Ayodhya kand, etc. The author explained six sources of power and then explained each in different chapters. For example, in rising and shining, the example of Smriti Irani is quoted. In the rebellious warrior, an example from Mamata Banerjee is given.By reading this book one will be able to better understand women, confirm their qualities, and learn how to deal with them. The book is a must-read for girls, women, mothers, fathers, and gentlemen. We will all be able to find gems in it to enhance our lives in our own way. Intriguing connections between ancient epics, Indian mythology, Bollywood, Hollywood, and Greek mythology keep the reader's interest. With a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, as well as adequate facts and research, this book enhances both professional and personal spaces. Using the tool, people can identify their strengths realistically and gain insights into dormant strengths. You can use it as a toolkit to add more value to your life.

I feel the biggest thing about this book is that it was not there before it came: it is an original. It is powered by both the heart and the head. The archetypes have been fleshed out adequately as further made relatable with elaborate description, references and throwbacks to movies, books, epics and real life people. While each taken in silo may appear stereotypical, Nirupama explains well how we combine, transition or transform through them. I only wish there was more to encompass the archetype I would name to be "sakhi" through which a funny, quirky, friendly, egalitarian dynamic of male-female interdependence could be portrayed. Overall an impressive take. Congratulations, N.

I also feel I understand some of the main women in my life better and I also understand where & why I may be inadvertently diminishing myself. Further I have access to simple tools whereby I can invoke the necessary persona / archetype I need the most in a situation.Strongly recommend for yourself and for the women you care for!

‘Powerful’ took me on a journey of self-discovery by using the revolutionary feminine powers model. This is a very powerful tool that I recommend to every woman who wants to overcome her limiting beliefs and become the best version of herself, both personally and professionally.

A book that I would like to gift my female friends to help them understand themselves better and become a better version of themselves. Very insightful and interesting to read.

All women must read this to understand themselves better and make more informed decisions.
