Book Summary

Far from being a self-eulogising chronicle, K. Vasuki’s The School of

Life is a blazingly honest account of her evolution from ‘an imperfect

human into, not a perfect human, but a better version of herself ’. Steadfast in

her insistence that she is not positing any definitive, universally applicable 

solutions to the troubles of life, she offers us a glimpse into her inspiring

life and career in the Indian Administrative Service, demanding

throughout that we ‘keep questioning everything’ she says. Unassuming

as she is, she even downplays her monumental role in coordinating

the disaster relief operations during the 2018 floods in Kerala, which

devastated thirteen of the state’s fourteen districts. As the District

Collector of Thiruvananthapuram, the able and committed Vasuki was

also reckoning with a far more pervasive and pernicious issue, which

sparked off not only those floods but this year’s Wayanad landslides too.

In her own words, ‘having been at the pinnacle of management’ during

the crisis, she was ‘frustrated that as humanity, we are still unable to take

concrete action for climate change and that such a disaster has fallen

upon us because of all of our collective failure’. On the whole, The School

of Life is an engaging, endearing, and enriching study in courage, which

Ernest Hemingway defined-almost with K. Vasuki in mind-as ‘grace

under pressure’.

Shashi Tharoor - Member of Lok Sabha


Vasuki takes us on a rewarding journey of introspection and self-realisation that could help sow the seeds of a happier life and a more sustainable world. It’s a book for any and everyone of us who are in search of the true meaning of life in its infinite dimensions.

Rajdeep Sardesai - Journalist

  If you want to become a wise person then this is treasure for it.
By Subhra Isaac Stein
'The School of Life' is an incredible book every person in this world must read. This is my first statement about this book. It's a wonderful art work by pen and words from her heart for the welfare of whole world. To create a harmonious, peaceful, happier and sustainable world. One of the main uniqueness is she openly said her lots of personal hidden negatives in this book. Most of the top popular personalities will not open up such personal matters. Such personal matters will motivate readers. Before my age 30 I read thousands of books including biographies, self help, philosophy, psychology, life, finance, management, leadership etc. Through reading this one book I got the same experience of reading the 1000 plus books I read. It's the big advantage of reading this unique book. In one book we are getting lots of answers of big questions. Those who are learning about life and improve their life this book will definitely help. No doubt. It's like a single tablet for lots of big problems we are facing personally, socially and globally. Those who are seeking the real truth of life this book will definitely help. Again those who are seeking real happiness, peace and joy this book will open up the doors for it. If rulers, politicians, business people, educationalists, scientists etc. read and form a new system based on this book our world will be a paradise in the near future. In this highly informative world finding trustable information about life success is the biggest challenge. I can strongly say 'School of Life' book is the answer for it. Why people are unhappy? Why people are unsuccessful? Why wars are happening? Why criminals are increasing? Why terrorists are forming? Why divorce is happening? Why people's health is decreasing? Why people are affecting more diseases? Why people are frustrated? 'The School of Life' The transcending book written by Dr. Vasuki IAS will provide all the answers and solutions to the above mentioned questions and more. I have also the big dream Dr. Vasuki IAS revealed in the last portion of this book. After reading this book my 15 years of research and works in the same dream benefited a lot. My path is little different from her. I'm a believer of Lord Jesus Christ. Based on Jesus Christ's principles about love, care, mercy, compassion, respect, peace, happiness and his great teachings I conceived the dream and path or system to attain it. The School of Life book helped me to strengthen my dream and path. The chapter discussing about 'Baiga' is the most interesting one. In this chapter her writing is similar to Arundhati Roy's God of Small things. We are not reading it but we are really travelling with her. It's similar to watching a classic movie. Really awesome reading experience. Next best chapter is 10. The title of the chapter is interesting. No writer will not give such a title to any of their chapters. It is 'The Most Boring Chapter of This Book'. But it is one of the important chapter everyone should read. Without reading this chapter we couldn't understand the main crux of this book. Then last chapter 'What Your Seed?' These three are the top best chapters and all the others are best chapters. All chapters are very important to understand the real core of the book. Reading every lines are important because it is interconnected with other concepts and principles. Every libraries in the world should keep one copy of this book especially to school, college and university libraries. A best book use as gift to children, marriages, prizes in educational institutions etc. Many points to mention but I would conclude with my last statement. I believe this 'The School of Life' book is eligible for international recognitions like Nobel, Booker prize etc.
