The Gurkha Mindset

10 Lessons in Courage and Resilience

De: Captain Kailash Limbu

Narrado por: Homer Todiwala

The Gurkha Mindset distils the wisdom and experiences of a seasoned Gurkha soldier into ten powerful lessons for life and leadership.

Drawing from over two decades of service in the British Army, including five tours in Afghanistan and deployments in Bosnia and Sierra Leone, Captain Kailash Limbu shares the core principles that have shaped his journey as a soldier and a man. Through the metaphor of the khukuri, a symbolic and essential tool for every Gurkha, he illustrates how mindset and behaviour are crucial to overcoming challenges, achieving success and leading with honour.

Kailash reveals how the disciplined and courageous mindset of the Gurkhas can be applied to everyday life, helping readers manage emotions, foster teamwork, lead effectively and prioritise self-care. Each lesson is rooted in the simplicity and strength of the Gurkha way of life, offering practical insights that are both timeless and adaptable to any context.

Whether you seek to enhance your personal life, advance in your career or simply find greater fulfilment, The Gurkha Mindset provides the tools to sharpen your focus, build resilience and embrace life's challenges with a warrior's spirit.

OUTSTANDING

There are not enough stars to credit this book.
It is an outstanding book, which especially spoke to me.
When I was eight years old the Gurkha troops liberated my mother and me from a notorious Japanese women’s concentration camp in, what is now Indonesia.
I am 88 yrs.. old now and all these many years the Gurkhas have held a special place in my heart.
My wish is to meet a life Gurkha, alas, maybe in my next life.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
Full of life lessons.
The narrator, mr. Homer Todiwala, did an amazing job.
My sincere thanks to all involved in bringing this outstanding book to us, JK

Outstanding lessons well presented

The book was well narrated and many other lessons that were basic great to hear about from a military perspective. I dried the book immensely I recommend it to those who would like to go ahead and do the principles.
