She's the serial social entrepreneur who's faced patriarchal pushback, rode the roller coaster of building businesses as a female CEO, and is hoping to add another bestselling book to her already well-established $200 million business ventures.
Miki Agrawal's Heart Philosophy: Principles for Inner Wisdom is expected to be released in the coming months. And if Agrawal's previous books are any indication of what's to come, readers are in for a treat.
This new book is Agrawal's way of opening up the feminine heart-based philosophy that introduces a different approach to a more somatic heart-based invitation to inner peace and love.
She wants you, whether you're the seeker of connection, the aspirant of abundance, the yearner of freedom, the inquirer of heart expansion, or the suitor of self-expression, to manifest your richest hopes and most potent, fertile dreams.
Agrawal hopes to get her readers to go beneath the surface layers of their being and rebirth themselves into the highest, most truthful expression.
An Exclusive Sneak Peek of Miki Agrawal's Yet-To-Be-Released Book
Heart Philosophy: Principles for Inner Wisdom, is a new book of Miki Agrawal's that emerged over the past several years and appeared in her journal pages.
"Heart Wisdom" is a "new way of life," Agrawal explains; it's a choice to slow ourselves down, calm the busy mind and deep-feeling heart, and listen intently to what the soul is saying.
This isn't an attempt to "be perfect and happy all the time." Instead, Agrawal's helping you seek the meaning in your own truths, positing that you can thrive no matter the obstacles.
This is how some of her journal entries helped her process what she did, who she saw, and what she thought; it helped her thinking brain release some clutter so her Heart Wisdom could emerge in a serene, vital emptiness.
Agrawal's favorite saying is "Iteration is perfection." She's always loved questioning the status quo and society's approach to things. In Heart Philosophy, Agrawal does just that.
She writes: "Pretty much every philosopher we know is a man. From Aristotle and Socrates to Jesus and Buddha, to Alan Watts, Ram Dass, and Joseph Campbell, to Thich Nhat Hanh, and even the pope, their teachings are wonderful but are coming from a singular perspective - a masculine perspective. Philosophy has predominantly been an intellectual sport, a sparring of ideologies from the masculine side. Aristotle and Socrates both even believed that women were second-class citizens and created to 'serve the man.' It's in their texts. It was the way it was and nobody questioned it."
And with this opening statement, , questioning why we've only been told half the story: "How tragic and also how exciting to now uncover the rest of it."
And with that, it's time to open up the "feminine heart-based philosophy that introduces a different approach to philosophy, a more felt experience, a somatic heart-based invitation to inner peace and love ... that speaks deeply to them that journeys them away from their minds and rather starts in the heart."
Miki Agrawal: 'We Are Who We Practice To Be'
Unlike her previous book, Disrupt-Her: A Manifesto for the Modern Woman, a rallying cry for women to radically question the status quo, Miki Agrawal promises this new tome is a quick and easy read.
In fact, she challenges her readers to pore over the yet-to-be-released pages in full, preferably in one or two sittings.
With that commitment, Agrawal offers simple tips to obtain a true, heartfelt transformation in your life in as little as 30 days. "Remember, we are who we practice to be," she states in Heart Philosophy.
In Disrupt-Her, Agrawal "disrupted" 13 common beliefs that are "accepted by society." At the end of each chapter, there are questions that give you the opportunity to apply what you've read and compare it to circumstances in your own life.
Similarly, Heart Philosophy offers readers a chance to transform their lives by offering space at the end of the book to write their own affirmations; this is an attempt to prove that daily practice of affirmations can transform your life in remarkable ways through the positive vibrations these affirmations put into the world.
Miki Agrawal's Do Cool Sh-t: Quit Your Day Job, Start Your Own Business and Live Happily Ever After left readers with several valuable takeaways. Her advice, in different guises, allowed the reader to relate to Agrawal in a more reverent way.
She continues to do the same in her new publication. Agrawal used her own affirmations from several years of wisdom accumulated from the world, books she's read, or simply the knowledge bestowed upon her from teachers in her past, to channel from her own heart.
All of these aspects of her life were put together in Heart Philosophy to include her readers in this "continuous journey back home to our hearts."
