Mirza Barlas's 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks: Maximize Your Life Satisfaction, Experiences, and Results is a self-help book written for those looking for the fulfillment that is often elusive, even among the rich, from an author who has already done the legwork for the rest of us. Barlas's book is divided into sections, one for each of the titular hacks, each with the tagline “for better life results.” These include perseverance and grit, expertise, positivity, mindfulness, happiness, and better perception and judgment. Within these hacks is an interpretation of a relevant parable, several illustrations, stories, and philosophy quotes, and what Barlas labels the “specks of gold” which define each hack and bullet-point the themes woven through the section.

Mirza Barlas identifies himself from the onset of the book as a successful, self-made man who still felt low despite the outward perception that he was on top of the world. The book identifies the simple techniques he employed to reshape his life, all of which are pretty easy to follow and implement, at least on a personal level to begin with. The majority of Barlas's guide consists of the philosophical content and their examples as they apply to the specific hack. These are incredibly articulate and detailed, occasionally to the point where they feel a little too much like a lengthy sermon, and despite one or two cliches, I genuinely enjoyed every part and Barlas's enthusiasm practically dances on the page. My favorite part was the 10 Specks of Gold for Attaining Mindfulness, which I made a conscious effort to employ three days in a row. Don't jump out of bed, shower mindfully, and sit mindfully in the dark for 15-minutes—as simple as they seem, these had an immediate and profound impact on how I managed the rest of my day. This is a great book for any reader who has perhaps read one too many self-help books on success and is looking for one that's different.

Mirza Barlas's 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks: Maximize Your Life Satisfaction, Experiences, and Results is aimed to transform readers’ lives so that they get better results. This is a noble aim. In the introduction, Mirza Barlas shares where he is coming from and how he transformed companies and became a transformational change expert. This is important background information because, despite his achievements, Mirza Barlas was not happy. He then proceeded to transform his own personal life using the same techniques that he transformed the companies to achieve better results. The techniques are the six mega life-transforming hacks.

The six life hacks shared by Mirza Barlas are practical as they have been proven to work in Mirza Barlas’s own life. The six life hacks are described in six chapters. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a quotation which I like as it epitomizes the wisdom that follows. Mirza Barlas then explains the life hack. Towards the end of each chapter, there is the “specks of gold” section. This section is a gem because it gives the steps that can be taken to practice the life hack. It is then followed by the “mega life-transforming hack” section which is a list of key points in the chapter. I found this list is very useful. Clearly, Mirza Barlas gave a lot of thought to how to present his life hacks so that they are easy for readers to understand. This is why there are real-life stories, parables, and even illustrations and figures in 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks. I must say I found the book to be well written, and the organization and the formatting are excellent. For anyone who is interested in improving their lives, 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks is a recommended read.

Despite achieving success at a young age, Mirza Barlas realized that happiness is not a by-product of success and success alone does not make one feel complete, so he resolved to make happiness his primary life goal thenceforth. Twenty years after choosing happiness, Mirza achieves even more success in different aspects of life, which prompted him to document his experiences and the things he learned about success and happiness in 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks: Maximize Your Life Satisfaction, Experiences, and Results. The book exposes multiple "specks of gold" for improving happiness, success, life satisfaction, life experiences, performance, and results. At the end of each chapter are the chapter's key points and the relevant “mega life-transforming hack” to leverage the breakthrough ability taught in the chapter.

Mirza Barlas's 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks is a complete package as it includes personal examples, images, research results, and quotes from different names and adages. Mirza Barlas's many achievements in business and management and the several research and references presented in the book make the points more believable and original. Also, the lessons are specific and targeted at different things that hinder people from achieving success and happiness. I learned to have a more positive attitude as negativity solves nothing but only adds more to the problem. As I have gotten a taste of how my approach to life can be improved from my first reading of 6 Mega Life Transforming Hacks, I plan to make it a habit to practice the exercises in the book regularly to experience a complete transformation. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking fulfillment and satisfaction in life.
