About this listen

Heaven is no paradise : Reflections on Contentment, Happiness and Success is an Audible Original audiobook by Devdutt Pattanaik, narrated by himself. Across twelve chapters, he explores why humans are wired to feel inadequate, how myths and tales shape societies, and how the East, West, and India each frame success differently. He shows how Indian tales rooted in rebirth push us inward, while Western tales celebrate institutions and Eastern ones value isolation. With insights on jealousy, desire, and human needs, he reminds us that paradise grants success but not contentment. Contentment enables us to acknowledge, nourish, empower and invest in others. Without this heaven of happiness will always elude us.

I love Devdutt, He is truly amazing and Indians should listen to his books. Hinduism is most misunderstood in India. People please listen or read His books.

Good one
