Gopi Menon

Gopi Menon has been an engineer for most of his working life. He's retired and is now an author. He writes about practical philosophies that anyone can use ​to live a Happy Life every day.

More importantly, he is a Contrarian Thinker who asks a lot of uncomfortable questions about traditionally accepted practices such as religion, ritualized prayer, about God, the afterlife, and so on.

Although he had wanted to write a book from his childhood, it was a long, rocky, and winding road to publishing his 1st Book at the age of 70! In fact, it took a near-death experience (while in an ambulance which took all of three hours to get to the nearest hospital) that made him vow to publish a book - if he managed to survive that arduous trip!

He did survive and finally published his first book 'Daily Happy Living', followed soon after by his second book called 'The GOD Soliloquy'. 

After a layoff of several years, he decided to publish another book, during the Coronavirus Pandemic enforced stay-home. He called it 'Papa Bear's Happy Parenting Rules' in protest against the harsh 'Tiger Mother' style of parenting that was trending a few years ago. This book was launched on 10 June 2020.

This has fired up his passion for writing again! He is now working on two other books, of which 'Back to GOD, Away from Religion' has been published in April 2021. 

Now he intends to complete his next book entitled 'Why Most Prayers are NOT Answered' in a few months time!
