What if happiness isn’t something to chase, but something you can rediscover right where you are?
Know Thyself; Be Happy turns the search for joy inside out. It shows that while pleasure, meaning, and achievement have their place, they are not the source of lasting happiness. True ease and contentment come from knowing who you are beneath the striving and stress.
This book isn’t about renouncing success or fixing yourself. It’s about seeing life’s pursuits in their right perspective—through a clearer, quieter lens—and reconnecting with the ease that has always been within reach.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
Understand pleasure, achievement, and meaning without being trapped by them.
See through the myths of comparison and self-image.
Quiet the mind’s noise and rest in a deeper clarity.
Approach daily life with balance, freedom, and joy.
Simple, grounded, and quietly transformative, Know Thyself; Be Happy is an invitation to stop chasing and start seeing. Happiness was never missing—you just overlooked it.

Siva Venkateswaran
Siva Venkateswaran has spent over three decades exploring life’s most essential questions: What is happiness? Who am I beneath my roles and achievements? What gives life meaning? His journey has unfolded through meditation, self-inquiry, and contemplative practice—shaped by the clarity of Advaita Vedanta and enriched by insights from modern psychology.
Alongside this inner search, he built a successful corporate career—an IIT Madras graduate with a master’s in management, he rose to become Chief Operating Officer of a multinational company. As a trained coach and psychotherapist, he has guided senior leaders and professionals in meeting complexity with clarity and presence.
Know Thyself; Be Happy is the fruit of that inner and outer journey—offered not as a blueprint, but as a gentle invitation to rediscover the quiet depth that lies beneath all striving.
