“Living is not just about survival. Living is a beautiful way of existing that we need to embrace.”

From the book Unstoppable by Meena Chabbria.

I have always found great inspiration in reading autobiographies. The tales of personal journeys never fail to motivate me to give my best and persevere through challenges. They remind me that growth is possible, regardless of the obstacles we face. It all boils down to the choices we make. Book 107 of 2023 proved to be a refreshing and encouraging read, imparting an important lesson that resonated deeply with me.

The power to grow lies in our own hands. It is our efforts, our commitment to learning, the decisions we make, and the way we choose to live that shape our growth.

“Unstoppable” by Meena Chabbria is an empowering and inspiring book that takes readers on a captivating journey of personal growth and resilience. With her engaging writing style and candid narration, Meena’s book offers a refreshing perspective on overcoming challenges and embracing one’s true potential leaving a lasting impact on readers. Her story is one of determination and perseverance. It’s her journey of making her space in the industry, Becoming a ‘S’hero in her own eyes and in the industry.

From her early days in a refugee colony to her current role as a sales head for PVR cinemas in South India and Sri Lanka, she shares how hard work, dedication, and the not give up attitude can lead to remarkable achievements. Her journey is nothing short of a roller coaster ride, filled with ups and downs, but she consistently chooses to grow and push past limitations. Growing up in a lower-middle-class family, Meena faced numerous challenges at every step. But what fueled her drive? It was her unwavering determination to grow, coupled with the support of her family. She never allowed herself to stagnate but rather continued to evolve. 

The author’s honesty and vulnerability shine through as she shares the various aspects of her life. From her childhood days to her odd jobs, from the influence of her parents and grandparents to her experiences in marriage, Chabbria takes readers on a deeply personal and relatable journey. She discusses how she faced struggles head-on and refused to let them define her. Through her own example, she inspires readers to overcome obstacles and embrace change.

The book explores pivotal moments in her life, from becoming a mother to taking the bold step of leaving her marriage and rebuilding her life. Taking a leap of faith, she delved into the corporate world, learning from her mentors and climbing the ladder of success. Her story serves as a powerful inspiration for readers.

Meena’s writing is refreshingly honest, allowing readers to connect with her pain, emotions, and unwavering determination. It becomes evident that she never gave up and always brought her best to the table. Surviving office politics and challenging societal stereotypes, Meena aspired to become a leader while simultaneously prioritizing her children’s well-being.

Each chapter of the book holds valuable lessons. One of the most captivating parts of the book is Meena’s corporate journey. Alongside encountering mentors who contributed to her growth, she candidly discusses the invisible competition she faced both with other teams and within herself. Meena’s practical approach, combined with her ability to keep the narrative light, honest, and concise, sets this book apart.

Moreover, Meena explores the lessons she learned from the people she encountered throughout her journey. From her travels to her struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic, she shares how these experiences served as catalysts for her personal growth. Despite facing numerous challenges, she used the pandemic as an opportunity to educate herself and acquire additional qualifications, adding feathers to her cap.

From building valuable connections to having a supportive circle of friends who provided unwavering love, Meena remained steadfast in her pursuit of personal and professional growth. As she discusses her journey towards becoming a coach, she shares stories of the people she encountered, highlighting how their lives were transformed through one-on-one sessions with her and how she brought about positive change in their lives.

This book has so many things to offer us. It offers us clarity, courage and confidence. As we read her journey, we witness truths we often fail to notice. With her journey, we understand how important it is to become aware of our capabilities and not always blame ourselves if things get wrong. Another thing that stayed with me is Success isn’t yours alone. Be Grateful for all the support you receive.

I loved the last chapter where she has a message for all Children, Husbands, Business People and for all Women. While she learned, she faced her fears, she took decisions that show how powerful and practical her approach was. She Learned, Unlearned and Evolved.

Be it at PVR where she was building her Den or the time she made a mark in the industry, she acknowledged her mistakes and worked on it. While she build her team, she wanted them to grow as an individual too that showed her leadership skills. A Leader, A Mother, A Daughter, A Sister, and above all she’s a gem of a person who always believes in giving back. She inspired me in many ways and I am grateful I came across this book.

“Unstoppable” by Meena Chabbria is a captivating read that offers valuable insights into personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of success. This book serves as a reminder that our path to success is within our own hands and that embracing life in all its beauty is key to becoming unstoppable.
