I like how transparent Do epic shitty is about reading shares, and how Mr. Ankur Warikoo conveys some lessons, so readers like myself can avoid making the same mistakes. After an hour, I realized everything in Do Epic Shit is worthwhile, and the 1 page insights shared are very useful; I got many lessons on life and taking risks, and on overcoming procrastination, from the first chapters of the book. I read tons of self-help books, but this one felt a little bit different as I had been following Ankur Varikoo for some time, so I could see his face as I was reading.

I loved reading all those bits over again, and if you have not read any posts by Ankur Warikoo (which is, I guess, pretty unlikely), then you definitely need to check out the title. It just feels like so many Twitter threads and LinkedIn posts from Ankur Warikoo that were collected in one book, that I had already read.

Most of his new book feels like a bunch of disconnected notes Warikoo may have written in a notebook after reading some great books. I am genuinely enjoying this title, and as far as content goes, I felt like this was repetitious, mostly because I used to follow Ankur Warikoo across all channels, and have read all of these bits at one time or another.

I like the way Ankur Warikoo draws from his personal experiences for his thoughts and the title is transparent to his journey as founder, student, and entrepreneur. From dropping out of PhD to starting Nearbuy, Ankur Warikoo shares all that, which teaches you so much about life and not giving up on dreams. In Part 1 Success (or Failure), author talks about mistakes that he made during his twenties, 30s, and what he learned from it.

The author talks about mistakes he makes in his love life and makes sure that they are learning lessons for the reader. Like I said before, one of the things that he says also, multiple times, is you have to either make your mistakes or learn from somebody else’s mistakes. The viewers and readers may feel an air of honesty when reading this book because some of his personal experiences shared in the book are a little too candid, and Ankur Warikoo does not shrink from sharing it with the world.

Overall a good read and I can easily recommend for beginner readers but if you are already an advanced reader like myself it may feel a lot repititive and only scratching the surface. If you fall into that category more insightful books are coming soon so stay tuned.
