11 Rules for Life: Secrets to Level Up

Now available on pre-order

This new year, if you want to set yourself up for success, then you need not look any further than bestselling author and motivational speaker, Chetan Bhagat’s game-changing guide to transforming your life, 11 Rules for Life: Secrets to Level Up, is all set to hit bookstores this February, and is exactly what you need when the energy around new year resolutions starts to dip.

Unlike static affirmations and theory, this action-oriented book is born from the lived experiences of the author who is an achiever and has navigated many challenges to come out strong and successful. A clutter-breaking book, it will revolutionize the way you approach life’s challenges and pave the path for personal growth. With insightful information and practical advice to help take on today’s unfair world, 11 Rules for Life is designed as a playbook for success for anyone who wants to make it in life but has been waiting for the right kickstart.

Chetan Bhagat says, ‘Of all the books I have written, this has taken the longest. For it condenses the life experience I have had in the last five decades on this planet. I have done over a thousand motivational videos and five hundred live events on motivation, and this book is a summary of all my learnings from them. 11 Rules for Life is unlike a typical self-help book as it is written in the form of a simple story. I really believe it is mandatory reading for all Indians. I have had a blessed and extraordinary life and I want readers of 11 Rules for Life to have the same.’

Poulomi Chatterjee, Publisher – HarperCollins India, says, ‘Chetan has always had a finger on the pulse of Indian readers. His new book, 11 Rules of Life, arises from a deep-felt desire to share with his readers the experiences and lessons that he has found the most valuable in his life, so they may carve their own paths to success and fulfilment. Crafted as a series of conversations that bring his storytelling prowess to the fore, the book doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Instead, it urges readers to confront the harsh truth – yes, the world is unfair; yes, our society is structured in such a way that only very few taste real success; yes, for the rest the struggle is real; and yes, it is time you stop listening to people who tell you what you are capable of and start doing what you need to, to reach your goals. If it’s success and happiness you seek – in your studies, your career, in love or any other life situation – this book will be your essential roadmap. We’re delighted to be publishing it because we know it will make a real difference to everyone who reads it.’

About the book 

Mandatory reading for all Indians.

One summer afternoon, Viraj, a food delivery guy, brings lunch for an author named Chetan. He is late and appears to be in distress. When Chetan asks him what the matter is, Viraj breaks down.

‘I hate my life. My career is going nowhere. My girlfriend left me. I have no future,’ he says.

The author offers Viraj a deal. ‘I can fix this for you. Come back every day, when I order lunch. Each day, I will tell you one secret I’ve learnt about life.’

Welcome to 11 Rules for Life, a no-holds-barred book that will transform your life.

In his most personal book yet, Chetan draws on his failures and triumphs, his many conversations with high achievers from all walks of life and over two decades as a celebrated motivational speaker.

Written in the inimitable style that has made Chetan one of India’s top-selling writers, this inspiring, easy-to-read and straight-talking guide will help you rewire your brain for success in today’s ultra-competitive and unfair world.
