In an age where attention is fleeting and time feels like a luxury, wisdom often hides in simplicity. One Minute Wisdom, authored by Mr. Sanjay Sarda, Co-Founder and Director of Growth Sense Group, is a refreshing reminder that profound thoughts don’t always require long lectures. Sometimes, all it takes is a minute of honest reflection.
A distinguished alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and IIM Ahmedabad, Mr Sarda carries over 32+ years of rich experience across India and the USA. His journey – spanning entrepreneurship, leadership, and advisory roles- has given him a vantage point few possess. This book, therefore, is not a theoretical exercise in philosophy, but a collection of distilled experiences, told through the lens of a man who has lived the very lessons he shares
One Minute Wisdom comprises 52 concise chapters, each offering a thought so crisp that it can be read in under a minute, yet so impactful that it lingers in the mind much longer.
Each chapter captures a slice of everyday business life decisions, dilemmas, relationships, and self-discipline in a way that speaks directly to entrepreneurs and professionals alike.
The beauty of the book lies in its simplicity. There are no heavy words, no overbearing theories, only clarity. Mr Sarda writes as he speaks: with humility, warmth, and depth. His words don’t preach; they invite reflection.
Among the many insights that stand out, a few deserve special mention for their striking relevance to today’s work culture.
One of the chapters speaks of never deducting salary as punishment. The idea is not merely about financial fairness but about trust. When an organisation uses money to penalise, it sends a signal of control, not care, and if the mistake that has occurred is unintentional then that cannot be considered as a point to deduct salary. Mr. Sarda reminds us that real discipline comes from respect, not fear.
Another striking lesson encourages founders and leaders to build a technology fund to safeguard their future. In an era of constant disruption, this thought is both practical and visionary; a call to prepare, not react; to invest, not merely spend.
Equally interesting is the habit he urges professionals to cultivate having zero unread messages. Beyond inbox discipline, this reflects a mindset of completeness, the ability to close loops, respect communication, and stay fully present.
And then there’s the beautifully simple but often neglected wisdom; respect lunch breaks and tea breaks. In a world that glorifies burnout, this is a quiet rebellion. Mr. Sarda reminds us that productivity isn’t born from exhaustion; it comes from balance and renewal.
Perhaps the most moving thought is his advice to pay more than what an employee deserves. At first, it seems counterintuitive. But as he explains, generosity has a multiplier effect; it inspires loyalty, gratitude, and performance that money alone cannot buy. It’s a lesson in building relationships that outlast transactions.
As someone who works closely with Mr. Sarda at Growth Sense Group, I have often
witnessed the same philosophy in action. He has an excellent ability to simplify complex decisions, to look beyond numbers and see the human side of every situation. What One Minute Wisdom offers readers in words, he embodies in practice.
There’s an underlying rhythm to his leadership – calm, balanced, deeply humane. He believes that business success is not about outsmarting competition, but about outgrowing one’s own limitations. That belief echoes through every page of this book.
In a world overwhelmed by data, opinions, and motivational noise, One Minute Wisdom brings a breath of stillness.
It doesn’t demand your time – it rewards it. Each chapter can be read in a minute, perhaps during a morning coffee or before a meeting, yet its aftertaste stays with you through the day.
The book is not just for entrepreneurs or leaders, it’s for anyone navigating the chaos of modern work and life. It invites us to slow down, think clearly, and act consciously. It’s a book that can help an organisation build better culture, a professional become a better colleague, and a person become a better self.
Reading One Minute Wisdom feels like having a personal mentor beside you. One who doesn’t lecture but listens, one who doesn’t impose but inspires. It’s a companion for anyone who believes that wisdom, like success, is built one small moment at a time.
In the end, it’s not the number of pages that matters, but the number of pauses it creates in your mind. And in that sense, this book is truly timeless.
