Review: How Come No One Told Me That? Life Lessons That Work Now! - 'Every morning in a little town, a man in a yellow shirt and a red hat would come to a busy traffic junction. Just before 9 'o' clock, he would wave his hat around wildly. After 10 minutes of frantic waving, he would disappear. One day, a policeman went to him and asked: 'What are you doing here? 'I am keeping the giraffes away!' said the man. 'But there aren't any giraffes here'. said the cop. 'See, I am doing such a good job' We perhaps do it most often as leaders. We want to be in control and also want to show it. We imagine everything is happening only because of the actions we took and that we are in complete control! And like the man in the yellow shirt - we keep showing that we are chasing the giraffes that were never there! Just one of many stories that made me reflect from the treasure trove of a book by Prakash Iyer - 'How Come No One Told Me That' , Life Lessons, Practical Advice, and Timeless Wisom for Success. Prakash doesn't stop at just telling the story. He gets you to reflect on it. And then takes you into the many rabbit holes of thoughts, takeaways and 'ting moments. The stories are myriad - from a boat trip on backwaters of Kerala, to the Ceo's white handkerchief, lessons from airport queues, tying shoelaces, car headlights, brown M&M's and autowallahs. The best explanation of Hanlon razor, Fosbury flops and about the man with the Golden Helmet. And all through this, Prakash is our 'Alteration Tailor' giving life changing lines like 'Why keep the dog and bark yourself?' Every story is an aha moment. Actually 2 aha moments. First, the story itself. Second, the reflections. Storytelling at it's impactful best. Pick it up - get reading - I promise you'll want to talk about it when you're done. Like I am doing now! Review: Profound Insightful Sync between life imcidets and their broader scope of application!!! - What a book indeed!!! Terrific, Outstanding... Salute you Sir πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ The style in which the book is written was the prime catch that made me pick it and what an incredible justice rendered to it indeed... Bringing down the different forums and experiences of life under one big umbrella, yet chunking them down into chewable ones so that we take the lessons for a lifetime... Thank you Sir!!! Wishing you the best of everything always 😊 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #75,968 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #318 in Self-Help for the Workplace #637 in Self-Help for Happiness #1,350 in Self-Help for Success | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 418 Reviews | ## Images ![How Come No One Told Me That?: Life Lessons, Practical Advice and Timeless Wisdom for Success | Personal development book to help you in career management - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6199sLkcwkS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How Come No One Told Me That?

Salute you Sir πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ The style in which the book is written was the prime catch that made me pick it and what an incredible justice rendered to it indeed... Bringing down the different forums and experiences of life under one big umbrella, yet chunking them down into chewable ones so that we take the lessons for a lifetime... Thank you Sir!!! Wishing you the best of everything always 😊 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lessons for Leaders *by J***L on 15 January 2026* An extraordinary collection of insights that bridges the gap between leadership theory and human character. Prakash masterfully illustrates that the greatest barrier to effective leadership is often the insulation provided by power. His work reinforces a vital truth: in the final assessment, we are remembered for our warmth and our grace toward others, far more than for our individual achievements.
