ME FIRST: The Counterintuitive Path to Becoming Your Best Self

ME FIRST: The Counterintuitive Path to Becoming Your Best Self

Amit Kapila
0/5 ( ratings)
I have lived for 68 years, and if there is one lesson life has taught me—one that goes against everything we are conditioned to believe—it is Being a little selfish makes you a better person.

This is not just a theory. It’s not something I read in a book or heard from a speaker. It is something I have experienced, tested, and proven through my own journey.

Like many people, I once believed that prioritizing others was the key to a meaningful life. I worked hard to meet expectations, made sacrifices to keep people happy, and avoided conflict even when it meant compromising my own needs. And for a while, it seemed to work. People appreciated me. I was seen as dependable, kind, and generous.

But over time, I noticed a shift. The more I gave, the more was expected. The more I said yes, the less my own needs seemed to matter. And the more I put others first, the more I lost touch with myself.

It took years—and a few hard lessons—to realize that the only way to truly give to others is to make sure you have something to give in the first place. That means prioritizing your own well-being. It means setting boundaries, saying no, and choosing yourself without apology.

And when I finally did? Life opened up in ways I never imagined. My relationships improved. My work became more fulfilling. My health—both mental and physical—became stronger. And I no longer felt the quiet resentment that had built up from years of over giving.

This book is not just advice. It is a reflection of what I have lived, learned, and experienced firsthand. If there is one thing I hope you take away from it, it is You are not wrong for putting yourself first. In fact, you owe it to yourself—and to those around you—to do exactly that.

Here’s to living a life that is truly yours.
