Is it possible to get paid to exist? To live in a way where you can't tell the difference between when you're working and when you're playing? Yes, it is. The author explains, "The 'zero' part means that when you do what you love, 'work' no longer feels like work. I personally can no longer tell the difference between when I'm working and when I'm playing. Here's what in the book: (1) My Story of Liberation. Why I was fed up with "mind renting" and what I did to stop it. (2) My Journey to Getting Paid to be Me. I detail my most important strategies for getting paid to do what I love. I've used these strategies to gain over 10,000 subscribers, write for a top-50 blog, and create a full time income online. (3) Zero Hour Case Studies. I get inside the minds of six other renegades who have found ways to get paid to be who they are. You learn their best tips, and what they would change if they could to start all over again. (4) Your Paid-to-Exist Secret Weapon. I show you how you can find the intersection between what you're good at, what you're passionate about, and what people will pay you to do. (5) Why the World Needs You to Do What You Love. Why we desperately need your contribution. A call to living on your own terms and creating your own game. With this book, I didn't hold back or keep any secrets. Everything I've done to create success for myself is inside.

India: one billion people, one million problems, one nation. Five thousand years ago, Manu took a stroll along the banks of the Ganges. Fortuitously, for mankind, he encountered a fish, which warned him of a looming great flood, one that would destroy humanity. In the aftermath of the devastation, Manu's protégés were condemned to a life of suffering. Survival was tough. They walked the earth and toiled an unforgiving land. It seemed natural, therefore, that man should congregate, and by doing so, form communities - the logic being there was strength in numbers. But as cities flourished, it soon became apparent that the 'state' represented not only a safe haven for man but also posed a threat to his own security. With such a rich history, India has, all too sadly, witnessed this paradox more than most. With this in mind, the story of this book is simple: Man's struggle for survival is the most enduring aspect of a nation's security equation. And no better illustration of man's struggle than on the subcontinent where he has been forced to contend with famine, poverty, illiteracy, caste-based discrimination, communalism, internecine conflict, invasion, terrorism war and the spectre of a nuclear holocaust. Amidst this backdrop, it may seem ironic that the mainstream interpretation of Indian security has, by and large, focussed on the military. Why then do we gloss over the human aspects of security - is it through ignorance or do we feel somewhat queasy when confronted with such stark realities ? On this note, scholars have an obligation to paint an inclusive picture of India's security construct - one that encapsulates individual, societal, political, economic, military, internal and external dimensions. This book hopes, as Gandhi once remarked, to shine the torchlight within, and in doing so, offer a more comprehensive and realistic assessment of Indian National Security.
