What does it mean to live a life shaped by silence, struggle, resilience, and joy? In Nineteen Reflections, Alok Sharma shares stories drawn from a life lived across continents, professions, and turning points. Each reflection offers an intimate look into experiences that are deeply personal yet widely relatable—running marathons in tropical heat, navigating unspoken first loves, surviving near fatal car crashes, bringing hope to remote villages, or finding dignity in work when leadership sets people free rather than confines them. These stories explore themes of love, loss, failure, resilience, and renewal, reminding us that meaning isn't in titles, salaries, or perfect outcomes, but in authenticity—the courage to keep going, to keep loving, and to keep hoping. Written with honesty and poetic clarity, Nineteen Reflections is both memoir and meditation; a book to revisit when life calls for perspective, courage, or simply the reassurance that we are not alone in our struggles.

Alok Sharma
Alok Sharma is a physicist by education, an entrepreneur by profession, and a lifelong seeker at heart. For nearly three decades, Ghana has been home—a place that has taught him as much about people as it has about patience, resilience, and wonder. His work has taken him across cultures and disciplines, but it is reflection that anchors him. Whether climbing mountains, writing, or coaching others, he has always been drawn to what lies beneath the surface—the quiet strength that shapes us when no one is watching. He writes to understand, to remember, and to make sense of the ordinary moments that reveal who we really are.
Nineteen Reflections is his debut book.
