The works of Nolan through the eyes of Vedanta. This book definitely fulfills what it claims - change your perception of the world by 5%. Look at Nolan's work through a different perspective.The Author beautifully correlates Nolan's works with the great sayings and works of our Rishis. - Aditya K

Being a huge follower of Christopher Nolan's work, the title of this book caught my interest. Upon reading, I found it to be highly inspirational and it changed my perspective about life. There is so much wisdom in this book. Comparing Nolan to a Yogi may seem strange at first, but the author justifies it beautifully with his immense knowledge on Vedanta and Nolan films. As one may wonder, this book is not aimed at idolising Christopher Nolan, instead the author convincingly correlates Nolan's work to philosophies of Vedanta. It is evident that the author has put up a lot of effort and it really paid off. I would definitely recommend this to everyone who wishes to seek knowledge, not exclusively for Nolan fans. It'll change the way we look at Christopher Nolan's movies altogether, Excellent Read. Highly inspirational! - Sathish Kumar
