Noven Jaisi on His Book ‘Make History’

As Noven puts it, Make History is an all-encompassing guide to improving the quality of your life. Packed with evidence-based tools, strategies, and exercises that will ensure you make the most of your time on earth, which is a bold promise, to say the least. We interviewed Noven over email to get a better understanding of just what the book is all about. 

Q: It’s great to speak with you today. Let’s get right to it, why did you write this book?

In some ways, this book was written unwittingly. Almost a decade ago, I went through an ordeal when I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which led to me being unemployed. To combat the uncertainty and doldrums, I turned to learning. I read 500 books, mainly on psychology. I learned meditation and became a daily practitioner. I studied just about every philosophy and strategy on how to increase the quality of the human experience. And as I went on this journey, I journaled. Everything I’ve learned, experienced, and discovered, I journaled. And as I was going over my notes that I’d written for years, I had a thought: “This could be a very helpful book, especially for someone in need of some direction, just like I needed.” That’s how this book came to be. It’s a compilation of the best of what I’ve learned.

Q: What makes this book different from all the other personal development books?

This book is not about “positive thinking” or “motivation.” This book is about getting clarity about what you want and providing you with the tools and strategies to get it—no esoteric philosophies, just pure practical strategies.

Q: What’s one thing people can do to improve the way they feel in this volatile world?

Most people live at the mercy of what happens in the outer world. They allow it to become the determining factor in how they feel. But regardless of what happens in the unpredictable outer world, it does not dictate the quality of your life; the quality of your life is the quality of your emotions. Regardless of what life throws at you, nothing can take your happiness away. It all starts with making the decision to master your inner world.

Q: Talk more about the inner and outer world.

The inner world is your psychology, emotions, and spirit. The outer world is your career, possessions, and achievements. Unfortunately, most people focus on the outer world. But it doesn’t matter how much you master the outer world; if you neglect the inner world, you’ll never be fulfilled. 

Q: What’s one practical way to master the inner world?

One of the most important things is to be cognizant of what you focus on. Because how you feel is dependent on what you focusing on. All pain and pleasure is where you put your focus.

Q: Is there something else you think our readers should know?

If you’re reading this, you have resources that billions of people don’t. For example, research shows that over 3 billion people don’t have internet access, and over 2 billion people live on less than $2 a day. Regardless of where you are in life, there is always someone less fortunate than you. I implore anyone reading this to give in any way you can. I promise you that there is nothing more fulfilling than being of true value to others.

Q: So tell us, where can people buy your book and keep up with you?

You can buy it wherever books are sold online. And I’m on almost all social media platforms. Just search ‘Noven Jaisi’and you’ll find me.
