    We all know that Dr. Kalam was the former president of India, whose words inspired us to achieve something in life. He was famous among the youth for his inspiring lectures during his reign as the President. He delivered numerous lectures about science, technology, innovation, and many more.

    The book "Learning How to Fly: Life Lessons for the Youth" is a compilation of 18 lectures delivered by the author at various educational institutions across India. Each line of this book aims to inspire young people to pursue their dreams and motivate them to accomplish something significant in life.

The lectures are broken into points like he did in many of his books for an easy understanding of the readers. The easy understanding of the speeches along with the anecdote style of narrating helps the readers especially young readers to achieve something in their lives and also gives us the feeling that we are hearing his lectures in a live auditorium. The book also gives a glimpse of the humble beginning of his journey as a boatman's son in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu to becoming the President of India. This book also sheds light on his working life in ISRO and DRDO and also gives real-life examples related to him. This book mainly sticks to the lectures he delivered in the 2014-2015 period, and we want more speeches before the period. The book is very simple to understand, and even a newbie starting to read the book can easily understand the meaning of this book and relate and regale the tales once finished. This book makes sure that we still remember the way he inspired us with his humble speeches.

    So, for youngsters as well as for the aged, this is a must-read book if we want to achieve something big in our lives.
