“I knew Gandhi only as a freedom fighter. It is only after reading his autobiography that I realized what a man he was.”

“I was working on a book about health and wellness, and nobody was interested in that from me. Thankfully, my cowriters reached out and sold me on the idea of doing an autobiography.”
