Creativity Unleashed
Mindfulness practices to unlock your creative potential.
Creativity is not a talent you are born with. It is a capacity you can build — deliberately, through practice, and with the right method. This book dispels the myth of innate creativity through a compelling narrative that combines personal anecdotes with history and neuroscience.
A guide, a workbook, and a companion offering a powerful 48-day practice programme that blends ancient meditation techniques with modern methods.

The Monk in the Corner Office
A novel about the inner MBA no business school teaches.
Sid is a burnt-out IT executive who meets Krish - a mysterious former leader living far from the world he left behind. Over eleven days, Sid goes through an inner MBA that no business school ever taught him.
A compelling narrative that takes leaders from knowing about emotional intelligence to inhabiting it - through story, insight, and the kind of wisdom that only lands when it arrives through experience rather than instruction.
UPCOMING LATE 2026
The Inner OS
A Manual for Peak Human Performance in the Age of AI
Every device you use runs on an operating system. So do you. Your Inner OS determines how you process pressure, make decisions, navigate relationships, and sustain performance across a career. Unlike your devices, it came without a manual. The Inner OS is that manual.
Built on three foundations - ancient wisdom traditions, modern neuroscience, and thousands of hours of working with leaders under real pressure. Three layers. Five principles. Five commands. One protocol.

Three books. One question. A deepening answer.
A COHERENT BODY OF WORK
Across three books and fifteen years of teaching, one question runs through everything Gopi has written: what does it take to perform at your best - not just in the moment, but across a life?
