The most important life lessons are not learned in a classroom. Lessons by Ravi Ranjan Goswami is a collection of life-changing stories covering many topics. Learn how humans move to the Moon and Mars after the extreme effects of COVID-19 in The Future Earth or join Ramesh as he transforms from a greedy person to a compassionate and considerate man in The Ambulance Drive. Follow Marzina as she heals from the effects of fame with yoga, and see Sapna and Sudheer deal with two different forms of peer pressure in Negative Test and Shock. Read these stories and more in Lessons.

Ravi Ranjan Goswami has done it again; Lessons is brilliantly written and has relatable characters. I loved reading his other book, The Resolution, and I always look forward to Goswami's signature fusion of Hindu culture and life in his stories. His stories are easy to understand and may be interpreted differently depending on your perspective and life experiences. It does not matter where you come from or how old you are; you will learn something from each story. Lessons is perfect for people who do not have the time to read long, complex stories. I loved how Goswami included awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic. He emphasizes the importance of social distancing and lending a helping hand to those in need. Read Lessons to learn life lessons that may come in handy in the future.
