5 Killer habits by Sree Krishna Seelam : A killer review

Do you ever dream about beating the bad guys, saving the world and being a hero, but wake up to see that you were wrestling the deathly chokehold of your bed sheet? Nothing to be embarrassed about, I guess we’ve all been there and done that. If you are also like me who is bursting with enthusiasm to be successful and give back to our society but can’t seem to do so, you should definitely give ‘5 killer habits’ by Sree Krishna Seelam a try!

This book is a complete and comprehensive guide for people like us who don’t know how to channel and direct their energy towards their goal. It’s written in an easy to read and comprehend language and is filled with examples of the author walking the talk.

In his book the author talks about 5 killer habits that are fundamental to achieve success and to become a rebel. He urges us to become rebels and lead the way for a better future. Sounds pretty cool right? But he doesn’t want us to become rebels in the negative sense of the word, rather in the words of the author himself “A rebel is someone who thinks differently from most of the people in the society, who takes nothing that was told without valid logic and is someone who leads and cares for his people.”

In this book the author talks about the following 5 habits to achieve success, wake up early, be a hero by volunteering, be a dromomaniac, live 100 lives and stay curious.

Wake up Early

The early bird catches the worm.

I believe we have all heard this phrase for as long as we can remember, still that cannot take away its truth. Now to the dismay of all night owls including me, it has been scientifically proven that waking up early is a key habit to develop discipline and achieve success. But fret not fellow Nocturnals! Good habits can be developed and bad ones can be broken, just that it requires a tad bit more effort and discipline than lying on the couch and reading about it. Oops, sorry for the personal jab ;-). Sleeping well for a good 7-8 hours helps to wake up feeling well rested. The early morning hours are also the best time to make any important decision. Also waking up and working in the wee morning hours, when the world is sleeping under a warm blanket as we struggle against its pull makes us feel like we accomplished a lot doesn’t it?

Become a hero by volunteering

What does it mean to be a hero? More importantly what does it take to become one? A hero is an ordinary individual who volunteered or sacrificed a part of their time, resources or even their life for the sake of a cause greater than their own. So how do we become a hero? Anyone who has the burning desire to uplift and help others has the potential to become one. The easiest way is to start by volunteering. The habit of ‘giving’ helps to build a strong character, and fosters a sense of self satisfaction and happiness. It helps us to develop a sense of purpose and become better leaders. Volunteer to protect our planet, donate blood and remain a hero even after death by becoming an organ donor.

Become confident by solo travelling

Since time immemorial humans have thirsted to discover lands – unknown, far beyond and shrouded in mystery. Our curiosity is what led us to navigate unimaginable weather conditions, waves as tall as skyscrapers and torrential storms all with just a compass as a guide for months to years. The travel logs and journals of Vasco da Gama, Ibn Battuta etc. have baffled and inspired many for generations to come. Travelling teaches us what books don’t, it helps us to get out of our comfort zone and broadens our horizon. When we travel solo, we are able to let go of our inhibitions and achieve a higher level of self-introspection and confidence. It breaks down barriers and boundaries and helps us to look at people as they truly are, fellow humans like you and me trying to figure out life. Most importantly it helps us to appreciate the beauty of our planet and the delicate balance holding up our ecosystem.

Live a hundred lives

It’s good to learn from your mistakes. It’s better to learn from other people’s mistakes.

– Warren Buffet

How privileged would you feel if you could learn from the mistakes of the most successful and influential people in the world? That’s what reading books helps you to do in addition to expanding your knowledge beyond the study curriculum. It helps us to learn from others mistakes, view different perspectives and understand the human psyche. Reading helps us to become better and insightful human beings.

Stay curious and question everything

If we looked at the world through the eyes of a child how much more simple and pleasant could life be? Unfortunately, as we age, we kill our childlike curiosity and the freedom to question, to ask ‘why?’. We need to reawaken this curiosity and wonder and not hesitate to question authority, laid down rules, religious beliefs and practices. Question the status quo, blind faith and anything that’s shoved down your throat!

Reading this book helps us to inculcate these fundamental habits in our daily life. The author doesn’t just tell us to do them but makes us realize their importance by using examples and interviews with a 1000 senior citizens.
