About this ebook
As the first IAS officer to climb the world's tallest peak, Ravindra Kumar in this book has presented Mount Everest as a symbol of life's problems beyond the limit of a physical barrier. Introducing the innovative technique of 'Advanced Positive Visualisation', the author explains how the various Everests of life can be conquered with this success key.
Kumar has tested the impact of this technique personally and has achieved many feats-starting from his selection in the prestigious IIT entrance examination to his selection in the premier Civil Services Examination and becoming an IAS officer after working at sea for many years and, thereafter, climbing the highest peak of the world in his maiden attempt. It is through his life journey and after analysing its impact, the author has presented to the reader the innate power lying dormant in the human mind.
Kumar's claim is based on the fact that our brain catches the image of anything before any other sensory perception like speech, hearing, smell, touch, etc. Although this is a daily phenomenon we don't notice it. The author has not only documented his observation from day-to-day life but has also explained it scientifically by connecting the dots of old as well as modern scientific researches, including Einstein's theory of relativity, findings by yogis, experiments on human brain by modern research centres such as Harvard Medical School, Leningrad Military Laboratory, etc. He has explained this technical subject in a simple lucid language to be understood by all.
By demonstrating the miraculous effect of this technique in the lives of ordinary people through the example of his life, the author explains to the readers, and in the process motivates them on how, despite life's vicissitudes, one can achieve one's dreams.

About the author
Born in a farmer's family in Begusarai district of Bihar in 1981, Ravindra Kumar cracked the IIT Entrance Examination in 1999 in his maiden attempt and later the Civil Services Examination in 2011.
Finally, he settled in his current job in the Indian Administrative Services in 2011 after working over a decade in shipping. He further climbed the summit of Mount Everest in 2013 and set the record of being the first IAS officer to scale the peak. He was awarded the Sikkim Khel Ratna Award, Bihar Vishesh Khel Samman, Kashti Ratna Award, Sailor Today Award, Atal Mithila Samman, National Gaurav Award and many more such accolades for this feat.
During his second Everest expedition flagged off by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India in 2015, he suffered the Nepal earthquake and avalanche at the Everest Base Camp, resulting in many deaths but still he could rescue many lives.
In addition to being a good swimmer and a black belt in karate, Kumar has performed many other adventures like bungee jumping, scuba diving, horse riding, marathon run, etc.
After serving at various posts in the state of Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh, he is currently posted in the Government of India as Private Secretary to the Union Minister.
