“Everyday Dharma” by Suneel Gupta teaches that fulfillment comes not from chasing success but from aligning daily actions with a deeper sense of purpose. Dharma isn’t about achieving more—it’s about living in a way that feels meaningful and joyful. Gupta outlines eight practices to help integrate dharma into work and life, including setting intentions, embracing struggle, staying present, and serving others.
A key idea in the book is that intensity doesn’t always serve us—pushing harder doesn’t guarantee success or happiness. Instead, true progress comes from flow, consistency, and alignment with what truly matters. By easing into purpose rather than forcing outcomes, we find sustainable fulfillment.
