From a small boy growing up in Rameswaram, to becoming the country's eleventh President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's life has been a tale of extraordinary determination, courage, perseverance and the desire to excel. In this series of anecdotes and profiles, Dr Kalam looks back on key moments in his past-some small and some momentous-and tells the reader how each of them inspired him profoundly. With warmth and affection, he talks about the people who left a deep impression on him as he was growing up and as an adult, and the lessons he drew from his interactions with them. He describes those who have been the closest to him-his father with his deep love of God, his mother and her great kindness, his mentors who helped shape his thoughts and outlook. There are heart-warming accounts here of his childhood years spent in a small town by the Bay of Bengal and the many struggles and sacrifices made on the path to becoming a scientist and then the President of India. Dr Kalam also writes about the times when failure and dejection nearly overtook him and how he prevailed over those obstacles by drawing strength from books and spirituality. Nostalgic, honest, and deeply personal, My Journey is the story of a life as rich as it is unusual-and the beautiful lessons to be learnt from it.

Greatest human ever lived!
This is the story of a great President , Scientist and a Professor Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam. The most inspirational man that walked the earth. In this book he shares his struggles and learnings from his childhood till his last breath of life. He has dedicated his life to science and teaching. I hope one day his vision can truly come true , although we might have not reached to the stage where he wanted to see India by 2020 but definitely his teachings and knowledge that he has imparted to all of us will surely help us to makes his dreams come true.
