Brian Smith, Amazon Vine Voice says the book is “so good, it’ll make you wish you were dead”

3 Lives, in search of bliss is an inspirational fable of a New York city cab driver who, upon his unfortunate and sudden death, finds himself being offered three chances at redemption and finding happiness. The book is about the 3 lives he leads, the choices he makes in those lives and attainment of eternal wisdom and bliss.

After his death, Ray is offered three lives, each designed out of his choices, to find happiness. What starts as a journey towards wealth, health and knowledge turns into a discovery of eternal wisdom, and ultimately leads to bliss. Exotic, evocative and haunting, the tale of Ray Cordoza’s three lives will make you ponder the choices that you make in your own life towards the pursuit of happiness.

The book is a celebration of the beauty of this wonderful universe and our lives as human beings. It falls into the genre of spiritual fiction – a format in which a fictional narrative is interlaced with philosophical and spiritual concepts. It could also (easily) be categorized as inspirational, self-help and motivational, depending on the perspective of the reader.

3 Lives is a product of inspired passion which aims to present eastern and western spiritual concepts in a manner that demonstrates the one-ness of everything in this world that we find ourselves in. That we all share the same fears, desires and aspirations. And, that we all have the same questions. That we share, at a fundamentally spiritual level, a deep and abiding desire to find and hold onto happiness.

Whether you’re looking to be inspired or to comprehend the seemingly incomprehensible pain and disappointments that come our way in life, this short novella is bound to leave a deep and lasting impression on you. Happy journeys!

D.. Buxman, Amazon Top 1000 reviewer says “The most pleasant surprise I’ve had all year”

The synthesis of Eastern and Western conceptions of God was the most compelling that I have read or reviewed in recent memory. The development of characters, not through extensive description, but through their personal experiences really pulled me into the story and opened my eyes to perspectives that I had never really examined. I don’t recall the last time that I’ve been given so much insight in such a small number of pages. It is clear that this is a work of deep thought and reflection. Often when I finish a book, I simply delete it from my Kindle so it doesn’t clutter my first page. This book will be on my first page for a long time.

Shashank Kudlur writes, “Very Relevant.”

Even though I’m just 16 years old, I sometimes wonder how Death is… I feel scared of losing my loved ones… This book makes me feel much better and makes me realise that Life is just a blissful journey! HATS OFF TO THE AUTHOR.

Sankar Ganesan says, “A gem of a book.”

Friendship comes in many forms. I stumbled upon Srini on Twitter. I haven’t spoken to him or met him in person. It is not often that someone comes up with a stunner like “3 Lives”. What a debut! It is said first impression is the best impression – the cover of the book is stunning. As regards the content, I must say it is on par with “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse. many many years ago when was I was young, I stumbled upon “Siddhartha” in a dusty corner of a lending library. It was a turning point in my life. That book left a deep impact on me. Now, several years later, destiny has thrown “3 Lives” on my lap. This book will have a permanent pride of place in the small library that I have in my sweet home. I will ensure that “3 Lives” rubs shoulder with other literary giants in my book shelf. If I were to recommend a book to my two little daughters when they grow up, as a father, I would recommend “3 Lives”. But as they grow up, I hope Srini Chandra will have written many more books as “3 Lives”. This is one book which is worth the wait and worth the weight in gold. Just place your order for the “3 Lives” on Flipkart!
