The Average Advantage: A Survival Guide for the Sane, the Skilled, and the Slightly Tired by Utsav Malhotra

Somewhere between the TED Talk and the LinkedIn post, work became a religion of the extraordinary— follow your passion, build your brand, hustle harder, wear your burnout like a medal. The sermon is everywhere. So is the wreckage: exhausted overachievers, vanished corporate rock stars, and an entire generation wondering why doing everything right still feels so wrong. The Average Advantage is the counter-argument. Drawing on two decades in the middle of Indian corporate life, Utsav Malhotra dismantles the myths quietly costing you your health, your sanity, and your Sundays: the passion trap, the ambition ladder, the personal-branding hamster wheel, the meeting culture that mistakes captivity for collaboration. This is part survival guide, part therapy session, part standing ovation for the people who actually keep the world running.
