About this audiobook
User Manual for a Human Being explores one simple question: if every machine comes with a manual, why don’t we? Beginning with creation and evolution, the book journeys through the human body, senses, mind, consciousness, yoga, karma and self-realisation. Drawing from modern science, psychology, Yoga, Sāṃkhya, the Bhagavad Gita and Indian philosophy, Viral Chawla examines how ancient wisdom and contemporary understanding can illuminate the same human experience. Rather than asking readers to simply believe, the book invites them to question, observe and understand themselves more deeply. It is a journey from understanding the body and mind to exploring the deeper nature of who we are.
