Wellsprings is not a famous book. It’s a book of spiritual exercises, but it’s not a religious book although it’s written by a Jesuit priest, Anthony de Mello. It has had a huge impact on me as a person, and through that, in business, leadership style and many other areas. I found it so worthwhile that I must have gifted upwards of 50 copies to various people over the years.

Sincere thanks to Mr. Soota for sharing his thoughts on the beautiful book, 'Wellsprings'. Yes, ultimately it all boils down to: " Being a better human being." As Theodore Roosevelt said, âPeople donât care how much you know until they know how much you care.â<br /> <br /> "When I look at the exercise I did in 1991, I had recorded I wanted to be an entrepreneur. The very fact that I had written, that I kept re-visiting it, played a role that this was not a desire I would then forget and say it is too late, donât do it." <br /> <br /> This reminds me of another beautiful book: "Write it Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want And Getting It" by Henriette Anne Klauser.<br /> <br /> Thanks and regards,<br /> <br /> Geetha
on Jan 27, 2010Dear Sir After reading I am fully impressed that Mr Soota's temperament is beautifully suited to education. I feel if he starts an educational organisation his ideas especially the human side and ethical side, will do a lot of benefit to our society and fill the vacuum and nurture great leaders for the next generation. Thanks and best regards
