Thirukkural for Everyone: Book 2, Part 1: Wealth - Ancient Tamil Wisdom for Living in the World, with a Modern Story for Every Couplet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186840695)

The Thirukkural's second and largest section, Wealth (Porul), is its guide to living wisely in the world - covering leadership, learning, friendship, effort, character, and much more.

This is Part 1 of the Wealth section (chapters on leadership, learning, listening, wisdom, avoiding faults, choosing good company, acting with forethought, knowing your strength, timing, place, selecting and trusting people, and cherishing your kin).

For every couplet you'll find four things:

• The verse in easy Roman letters (Tanglish) - read the sound of the Tamil, no script needed.

• A simple English translation.

• A short, clear explanation.

• A modern, real-life story that brings the ancient idea to life.

Whether you read Tamil or not, this is the Thirukkural made simple, practical, and alive for today.

Part of the three-section "Thirukkural for Everyone" series (Virtue - Wealth - Love).
