The most sophisticated mobile phone in the world will become nothing more than an expensive paperweight if it is not regularly charged. All its features, its apps, its amazing abilities to make stunning photos and videos-all that lavish technology becomes worthless when the battery runs out.

We and our bodies are much the same. We have been created with ultra-sophisticated, fantastically complex organic technology. We can do myriad things. We can cook amazingly tasty food, write beautiful prose and poetry, create music that can lift our spirits or move us to tears, think up things like string theory and quantum physics, make brilliant movies, smile and laugh and cry and experience the most exquisite of emotions-love. We can take care of each other and are capable of immense compassion. We have even managed to go to the moon and beyond.

But just like our phones, we need to regularly recharge ourselves. Otherwise, we become exhausted, dull, angry, frustrated and fearful. We become the antithesis of the glory of being human.

To charge our phones, we use electricity. To charge ourselves, we need to sleep.

Who doesn't want to be successful? But are you focusing on just success or 'true' success that doesn't cost you your health? Does your definition of success include 'health'?

The title of the book may at first sound pretty contradictory to what social media, internet, newspapers and magazines portray. Today, the success of any person is believed to be equal to the number of nights sacrificed. We have been fooled and brainwashed into believing that we need to live a particular way to be successful. We need to compromise on sleep to be a successful employee, a business tycoon, achieve our targets, get good grades, etc. We judge our success based on what it looks like from the exterior-position earned, status earned, money earned, the kind and number of cars owned, handbags and clothes, not realising that all of this means NOTHING without health. Kids today look at social media and stories of billionaires, business tycoons and others who only show the good and flashy side of their lives.

What we see is just their success, not 'behind the scenes', not their blood reports, health, pain, suffering, restlessness, anxiety, sleeping pills popped and drugs taken to maintain this façade because they have abused their bodies. You may think that successful people are happy.
