    About this ebook

    Don’t be mistaken. Champion’s Handbook isn’t a motivational book. More specifically, it isn’t merely a motivational book. Most motivational books are about following others’ lives and reading success stories. But Champion’s Handbook encourages you to write your own successful life story. This book doesn’t ask its readers to bring about drastic changes in their lives, nor does it contain dozens of foolish exercises that they may even forget after turning a few pages. Written in casual style, this book will help tweak their lives to attain success in their respective fields.
    It is casual and is meant to invoke a deeper sense of you, in you. Going through it promises to be an intimate experience, one that can actually help you achieve your aims and transcend them. A refreshing view is provided on some previously agreed upon topics, like anger being good, belief even when no one does among others. Beginning with addressing you as the underdog and emphasizing on acceptance as the first step towards betterment, it touches on all the aspects that make and break a champion. The aim is not the destination, but the journey.
    The journey from underdog, to champion.

      I know author as we have a friend in common but I will try not to make this review biased. But even so this book is truly 4 star. It has all the gripping elements and a surging aggressiveness that I think is a must for every motivational book. I took away one star because there were some minor flaws in his ideologies. But all in all it's a nice book. I wish you success Rishank.
    • 5/5
      I think the book is fantastic. It is simple, easy, and it has concepts which are applicable in life, and it does not try to spread any idealism. I will give full points for the book and the author.
    • 4/5
      My first book review on this website is of this book, so I'll try to be a bit lenient. The book is the debut book of Rishank Jhavar, and I'll give him points for not sticking to the conventional method of writing self-help writers usually stick to. Instead of preaching the usual moral values, the book tries to tell its readers not to change, to keep sticking to their habits, and yet achieve success. I found this inspirational, but my only qualm with this book is that it tries too hard to be different from regular books. I think Jhavar should have stuck to some orthodox, yet good concepts instead of introducing everything anew. I don't think the book will appeal to people who are plus 25. I'll give it four stars because it's a good book, but needs to be a little more normal-ish.

    Champion’s Handbook - Rishank Jhavar

    Champion

    Anger and Pain

    At some point in life, during something that can be called a ‘philosophical hangover’ (the smarter ones call it an existential crisis ), amongst many questions about life, you must have involuntarily asked yourself this one: ‘What is the best feeling in the world?’ The answer must have depended on your state at that time. Love, satisfaction, respect - there are many things. But let me ask you something different. What is the most productive feeling in the world?

    What feeling leaves you satisfied? What feeling inspired legends to do something that made them immortal? What feeling lifts you up? What feeling forces you to overcome all odds to win? What feeling differentiates champions from the ordinary?

    The answer is not in finding the ultimate feeling or in perplexing philosophies. It is just that one, simple, everyday feeling. The feeling we cannot escape. La cólera. Anger. Don’t believe it? Okay. Let me pose as a smartass and put forward a theory. Science believes there are three major parts of the brain. The cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem. I believe there are four. The fourth one is invisible, and it’s called

    the anger repository.

    And then there are terms like anger capacity and anger input or output. Let us consider anger’s physical state as liquid. Some have a tendency to fill the anger; some have a tendency to spill the anger. The latter are mortals, spilling the anger everywhere. The aforementioned become legends.

    But anger isn’t a good trait, right? It is right up there on the list of things that can destroy you, or the list of forbidden feelings. Once, my teacher was blabbering about how classics like The Godfather and The Fountainhead were just meant to please readers and the ‘values’ they taught had no implementation strength. I corrected him, much to his annoyance. He wanted a concrete reason of how egoism, anger and other sins contributed towards a person’s success. I explained it to him in one simple line what these classics meant. "Every such value or sin, though apparently bad; can create wonders if they are used and utilized."

    Of course he did not get me and I was thrown out of class for arguing. But it is simple. Do you get angry? Use that anger. Use it to prove to those people who made you angry. Or to prove to those things which made you angry. How? Heard of chainsaw? A chainsaw can be used to either chop someone’s head off, or to harvest wood. Ditto, with anger. Either you can destroy yourself with it, or you can build yourself.

    Let us talk about someone we know. He was pretty much a normal guy with an interest in automobiles and stuff. He had a great set of skills as well. He gave a job interview at Toyota Motors, but was turned down and this made him jobless for quite some time. It made him frustrated and angry but he held on and channeled his anger into designing scooters. Time passed and he started designing motorbikes. It blew up. Fast forward some years, and he was the proud owner of his company which he turned into a billion-dollar multinational that produced bestselling motorcycles. His engineering and marketing skills resulted in his motorcycles outselling Triumph and Harley-Davidson in their respective home markets. Toyota, the company which rejected him, didn’t even come close. His name is Soichiro Honda, the guy who established Honda Motor Company Limited. Among his employees, he was known as Mr. Thunderstorm. He got this nickname for his outbursts. Honda was loved, yet was feared because of his wrath. But it was his anger that took his company to greater heights.

    In life, at every other instant you’ll find people laughing at you for your small failures. Most of them will be your relatives or people you know. You will find people making you angry. What a champion does is that he glances at them, remembers their faces, smiles, and looks back at that stage in life from a more prosperous stage - a stage where he will be standing with his hands held high, and the people who laughed at him right at his feet begging for forgiveness.

    That is the power anger hands you. It has moved people, nations and the world. It has put people in places they could not have imagined. It has helped people win everything. Do you know what the best part is? It is there: right in your fist. Hold it. Keep filling the anger repository.

    You definitely know of Michael Jordan. He was left out of his high school’s basketball team. The reason? He was 5’9. Other basketball players made fun of his height, and he was ridiculed. One day, he decided to shut their mouths. He kept filling in the anger, and gave his all to practice. He shot up to 6’3, and today, he is one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the game.

    Oprah Winfrey. You know her, right? One of the greatest television personalities ever (and one of the richest women in the world), she was always fired from her jobs and was declared unfit for television. People laughed at her, and made fun of her looks. But she held on, never wasted any anger. Today? She is dubbed as the most influential woman in the world. And the channels who rejected her are the ones running after her for endorsements and interviews.

    Maybe you’re still skeptical about using anger as a weapon. Tell me something: When you’re angry, does counting to ten help you? Drinking water? Meditation? Deep breaths? Eating? Internet forums and anger management write-ups are meant to mislead you. They’ll show you wonderful and yet futile steps to throw away your anger. The newspaper articles will do the same. But tell me something, honestly. Can you do the stuff they say? No. Maybe you’ll try some of them and end up wasting several minutes of your life.

    Now tell me, why are humans pre-equipped with anger? Let your phone battery discharge for a day. Dumbest question ever: What will happen? It’ll turn off. Why? Because there is no energy supply. Anger works in the same way. It is our power source. We are blessed with anger because it keeps us alive. Anger’s default role is that it sends signals to all parts of our body to help us fight or flee. It gives us an instant boost of energy to perform an action. There was a time when our ancestors roamed the earth wearing goat skin and leaves. At that time, they were threatened by animals, or worse, ferocious beasts that waited for the chance to eat them. And of course, for survival tips, there was no internet at that time. To fight those beasts off, they needed fuel within. Anger filled the gap. Anger helped them defend themselves.

    These days, there are even more devilish, vile and ferocious human beings out there. Human beings who want to suck the lives out of you. Can we counter them without using anger? Nope.

    Anger is just a response to physical or mental pain. Hence it can be used in productive or counter-productive ways. And not to forget, it is just like electricity. It can power things up or electrocute you.

    The answer lies in the fact that it is futile to relieve your anger, but it may turn out to be really productive to live your anger. Now how do you do it? Here are some points on anger repository’s filling in and emptying out:

    Remember: The people. You know how they told everyone you can never do anything in your life. You know how they laughed when you hinted to them about your dreams. Remember their faces, what they said, their laughter and their sarcasm. Prepare your anger repository by putting the first layer as your memory of them pointing at you.

    Listen: To everything they said; just to ensure that you have a hold of the things that made you angry. When you are doing something that you know will help you hold your head high for the rest of your life, and if you need motivation, recall their faces and words. Tell yourself that if you did not spit on their faces by your achievements, your life is condemned to
