'Sanyaas In The City: A City Dweller’s Guide to Inner Freedom' launched in Mumbai
A new book for urban dwellers to find inner peace and joy, titled 'Sanyaas in the City: A City Dweller’s Guide to Inner Freedom', was launched at an event held at Kemps Corner, Mumbai on November 13, 2024. The book is co-authored by Adarsh Gupta, Neha Sareen, and Shikha Mehra and it has a special contribution by holistic wellness expert Dr Mickey Mehta.
As the title suggests, 'Sanyaas in the City' is a transformative book which introduces readers to Soul-Mind Thinking— a philosophy that emphasises mindfulness in everyday life, making inner peace achievable without stepping away from one's daily responsibilities. The book offers a practical guide which combines timeless wisdom with actionable strategies, and it is designed specifically for people leading modern urban lives.
"We wrote this book for those who seek peace, not by retreating from the world but by living fully within it," Dr Mickey Mehta, leading holistic health guru, said at the event. "'Sanyaas in the City' invites readers to find harmony in their fast-paced lives, showing that spiritual depth and worldly success can coexist," he added.
The book launch was followed by an engaging talk between the co-authors about the book, and the discussion was moderated by Hrishikesh Kannan.

Talking about the idea behind writing this book, Adarsh Gupta, author and wellness entrepreneur, said, "This book has been written with a clear line of thinking. It stems from understanding how conditioning in our early years steals us of our true love essence. We hand hold the readers with a comprehensive tool kit to live a soul-fired life.”
Neha Sareen, TV Presenter, a personal empowerment coach and author, added, “This book is a roadmap to unearthing your intrinsic truth, giving you soul-utions to live in love and freeness.

Shikha Mehra, a holistic yoga educator, wellness consultant and author, emphasized, “This book is for those lost in the urban hustle, disconnected from their true nature, seeking balance and contentment. It will guide readers from mindlessly chasing to mindfully living in truth, consciousness and bliss.”


Each chapter of 'Sanyaas in the City' provides practical techniques for navigating everyday urban stresses, managing relationships, and finding purpose amidst daily obligations. The authors draw from their diverse professional backgrounds to offer readers a well-rounded approach to spirituality that respects both ancient yogic teachings and modern realities.


The book is published by Hay House Publishers India.
