ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR BRAIN REGULARLY

ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR BRAIN REGULARLY? You Feed Your Stomach

Every Day to Keep Your Body Alive. But What Are You Feeding Your Brain to

Keep Your Mind Growing? Learning Is Not a Phase of Life. It Is the Food Your

Brain Needs Until Your Last Breath. He was a topper. I was an average student.

Thirty-five years later, he asked me what had transformed my life. My answer was

simple: I never stopped learning. At forty-eight, Dr. Abhishek Gilara reunited with

a schoolmate he had last known in the eighth standard. His friend had been

academically brilliant and was now working in the technology and artificial intelligence

sector. Having followed Dr. Gilara’s journey through his books, business

achievements and contributions to society, he wanted to understand the reason

behind such a remarkable transformation.

That conversation led to a powerful question: If we never stop feeding our stomachs, why do so many of us stop feeding our

minds after school or college? We understand physical hunger, recognise physical exhaustion and take care of our bodies. But

how often do we recognise that our knowledge has become outdated, our curiosity has weakened or our intellectual development

has become stagnant? In this deeply personal book, Dr. Abhishek Gilara draws upon his journey from an average school

student to a businessman, prolific author and lifelong learner to explore the importance of continuous intellectual nourishment.

Through five reflective chapters, he examines why intelligence alone cannot guarantee lifelong growth, how discipline and

experimentation develop our capabilities, and why learning must continue long after formal education ends. He also shares his

four essential areas of learning: Spirituality, to develop character, humility and a deeper understanding of life’s purpose; the

Art of Living, to understand ourselves, our relationships and the choices that shape our lives; Management, to improve leadership,

systems, responsibilities and decision-making; and Professional Knowledge, to remain capable, relevant and effective in

our chosen work. But his message goes beyond simply acquiring information. Don’t learn everything merely because it is

available. Learn what makes your life more meaningful and your contribution more valuable. This is not a book about becoming

the most intelligent person in the room. It is a book about never becoming so satisfied with what you already know that

you stop growing. Because your school results do not define your future, your degree does not complete your education, your

achievements do not eliminate the need to improve, and your age does not determine when your curiosity must end. You may

have finished school decades ago. But have you mistakenly finished learning too? Perhaps it is time to ask yourself the question

that inspired this book: WHAT DID YOU FEED YOUR BRAIN TODAY?
