In a world teeming with diverse cultures, traditions, and belief systems, superstition remains one of humanity’s oldest companions—a shadow lurking in the corridors of both wisdom and ignorance. It is this timeless and universal phenomenon that author Sumant G courageously unravels in his debut novel, Beyond Superstition – A Tug of War Between a Man and Fate. Sumant, a seasoned corporate leader and empathetic storyteller, brings to life a gripping narrative that challenges the foundations of irrational beliefs, offering readers a path to self-discovery and liberation.
Sumant’s journey into the literary world is rooted in a career that spans over 18 years of leading diverse teams and fostering collaboration across cultures. His professional trajectory has taken him to eight different countries, immersing him in the traditions, perspectives, and emotions of people from varied backgrounds. This exposure has been instrumental in shaping his nuanced understanding of human behavior and the universal truths that bind us all. According to Sumant, while cultural differences are abundant, the core emotions of hope, fear, love, and doubt resonate universally, transcending borders and beliefs. It is this deep-seated wisdom that underpins his exploration of superstition in his novel.
The book tells the story of an intellectual protagonist whose life spirals into an existential battle against the seemingly harmless seeds of superstition. As recurring events challenge his convictions, his wisdom becomes both his weapon and his vulnerability. Through his struggle, Sumant delves into the human psyche, exposing the insidious manner in which superstition infiltrates even the most rational of minds. The narrative is not just a compelling story of resilience but also a guide for readers to question and overcome irrational beliefs.
Sumant’s decision to tackle superstition stems from his desire to create a meaningful impact in a world that often clings to age-old notions without scrutiny. His career and personal experiences have taught him that while superstition can provide comfort in uncertain times, it often comes at the cost of rationality and progress. “Superstition thrives on fear and doubt, yet it’s within our power to break free from its chains,” he shares. “Through my writing, I want to inspire readers to confront their own ingrained beliefs and embrace a life rooted in reason and self-awareness.”
Beyond his literary endeavors, Sumant continues to apply his leadership and empathetic approach in the corporate world, championing collaboration, cultural understanding, and personal growth. For Sumant, writing is not just an artistic pursuit but a platform to spread love, awareness, and harmony. His ability to craft compelling narratives stems from his genuine curiosity about humanity and his unwavering belief in the potential for individual transformation.
Sumant’s journey as an author is an extension of his broader mission to make the world a better place. Through Beyond Superstition, he invites readers to question the invisible forces that shape their lives and to step into a realm of clarity and freedom. His work is a testament to the idea that true enlightenment lies in understanding and transcending the limitations of belief systems that no longer serve us.
With his debut novel, Sumant G has firmly established himself as an author who dares to ask uncomfortable questions and provoke thought. As he continues his journey, both as a writer and a leader, his mission remains clear: to enlighten minds, foster empathy, and encourage a life free from the shadows of superstition. For readers seeking a transformative and thought-provoking experience, Beyond Superstition is more than a book; it is a beacon of hope and rationality in an often-irrational world.
