Path of the Genie

The other book I read during my outing to St.Louis was Path of Genie by Dilip Abeyasekara. Dilip is adorned by lots of people. He is a world renowned Toastmaster and was twice runner up at the world contest. His book Path of the Genie is part biographical and part motivational. It reminded me of a similar titled book "The Aladdin Factor". However Dilip's book is different. He makes a parallel between burnishing the lamp to the three wishes granted Genie. His personal struggle as a fob to his accepting Christianity and the benevolence he received in America. However aside from few remarks its not religious as Dr. Dilip quotes from various other religions especially Buddhism. Dilip was trained as a chemical engineer and discovered his passion of public speaking at Toastmasters. Its a book you can readily identify as it speaks from the heart.
