Denial Of Death: The Book Nikhil Kamath Made Me Read

Just turned the last page of "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker, and it's nothing short of a good trip. This isn't just a book; it's a mirror showing us the core of our existential struggles.

Becker unravels an intriguing thought: our entire lives, our achievements, our relentless pursuit in business, are they all just a fa?ade to hide from the inevitable?

It's a profound concept that hits you right in the core.

As an entrepreneur, this book made me rethink my motivations. Are we all just chasing immortality in some form, through our startups, our brands, our legacy?

Is the fear of being forgotten driving our innovations and sleepless nights?

This book is more than a read; it's a journey into the depths of the human psyche. It questions the very foundation of our aspirations.

Why do we build?

Why do we strive?

Is it all just to defy our transient nature?

To my fellow entrepreneurs, creators, dreamers – this book is a must.

It's a challenge to your thinking, a question to your soul. Dive into it, and you might just find a new perspective on your hustle.

This book is not just to be read, but to be understood.?

So now I am going to throw in a random thing here to make the newsletter loooooooong.

I learned about this book during one of Nikhil Kamath 's podcasts and after reading this I feel like this book is the reason he started that podcast or decided to donate 50% of his wealth. I just feel Nikhil is done with numbers, he is aiming for immortality.

And guess what???

WE ALL ARE.
