Kaalmly recalls that he was a “generalist.” He specialized in looking at challenges from broad perspectives to pinpoint practical solutions both professionally and personally. He uses this approach in his book, the first installment of a trilogy. The series aims to guide readers through topics of inner knowledge, outer knowledge, and “the advanced application of inner and outer knowledge such that happiness becomes effortless.” This installment focuses on the pursuit of inner knowledge by looking at happiness from a holistic perspective. The guide uses a healthy blend of science and spirituality, featuring ancient wisdom, like Tao and yoga, and modern sciences, such as biology and psychology. The first part, titled “Inner Knowledge,” is all about getting in touch with the inner self and soul by asking questions: Who am I? What do I want? How do I walk in the outer world? What happens when things go wrong? The second part also utilizes such questions, but it expands beyond basic inner knowledge into what Kaalmly calls “Prime Inner Knowledge”: Why don’t I listen? How do I take charge of my life? The author uses poignant anecdotes from his own life throughout to show the power of change and a long-term commitment to happiness. He argues that total inner understanding—of self, happiness, and emotions—is entirely possible through awareness, self-realization, and a calm, unshakeable foundation. Using an easy-to-follow structure, he expertly distills scientific concepts that readers will understand and connect with in this manual. Despite offering occasionally complex content, he maintains a warm writing style that invites readers into their own processes of developing happiness by encouraging the necessary inner work that many prefer to avoid. As a result, this is the ideal book for readers who feel disconnected or burned out from their everyday lives and who want an introductory guide to inner and outer change.
