Book Summary of Gandhi: My Experiments With Truth
At the instance of some of my nearest co-workers, I agreed to write my autobiography. If I had only to discuss academic principles, I should clearly not attempt an autobiography. But my purpose being to give an account of various practical applications of these principles, I have given the chapters I propose to write the title of The story of My Experiments with Truth. These will of course include experiments with non-violence, celibacy and other principles of conduct believed to be distinct from truth. But for me, truth is the sovereign principle, which includes numerous other principles.If anything that I write in these pages should strike the reader as being touched with pride, then he must take it that there is something wrong with my quest, and that my glimpses are no more than mirage. Let hundreds like me perish, but let truth prevail. Let us not reduce the standard of truth even by a hair's breadth for judging erring mortals like myself.
The experiments narrated should be regarded as illustrations, in the light of which everyone may carry on his own experiments according to his own inclinations and capacity. I trust that to this limited extent the illustration will be really helpful; because I am not going either to conceal or understate any ugly things that must be told.

MUST READ
The book reminded me of 'Munnabhai'. It was as if the MAN himself talking to me. It was so nice to know about his life in his own words. It takes a lot of guts for a man of his stature to reveal such intricate details in public which most of us wouldn't dare. Especially about lust and other weaknesses. Though some places were a bit repetitive and hence boring, overall it was very gripping. Definitely a 'must read' about the man who holds such an importance in this country and worldwide.
A Great Autobiography Book!
its all about the failures and success of the leader who was the pioneer of the truth, he written about his life how he faced problems and how he solved it! and also he explains how life kicks us.....Overall it feels amazing to read and u can learn many things a must read book!
