With flair, wit and effortless erudition that have made him a bestselling author around the world, Gurcharan Das talks about his own personal search for a more meaningful life.

Author biography: Gurcharan Das is the author of the much-acclaimed India Unbound, which has been translated into many languages and filmed by the BBC. He writes a regular column for six Indian newspapers, and occasionally for Newsweek, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Foreign Affairs. His other books include the novel A Fine Family; a book of essays, The Elephant Paradigm; and an anthology, Three English Plays. . Gurcharan Das graduated with honors from Harvard University in philosophy and later attended Harvard Business School, where he is featured in three case studies.
