Growing Up! is not your typical self-help book-and thank goodness for that. With warmth, wit, and radical honesty, Gopal Das invites readers into a journey of systemic and neurological independence: a way of living that frees you from outdated conditioning, automatic mental loops, and external noise.

Blending practical psychology, spiritual insight, and hard-won life lessons, this book is both a heartfelt guide and a playful companion. Whether you're an anxious overthinker, a recovering people-pleaser, or just someone trying to make sense of your own inner world, Growing Up! offers real tools for rewiring your habits, reframing your story, and reclaiming your mind as your own.

With reflections, prompts, and plenty of laugh-out-loud metaphors (yes, including petri dishes and interpretive dance), this is a book about becoming the author of your own experience. Not by rejecting life's mess-but by learning to love it, shape it, and live it more consciously.
