It was this brilliant 5 minute TED talk that sparked a book idea in me. Ric Elias was on the plane that crashlanded on the Hudson river and talks about how that near-death experience changed his life for the better. The book ‘UnKick the Bucket’ aims to meet people who have had second chance to live and find out how it has impacted their lives and what lessons we can learn from it. Tomorrow, I’m interviewing Dr.Bala.V.Balachandran, professor at Kellogs and founder of Great Lakes Institute of Management. He suffered a massive heart attack and survived. He took this as a calling to build a world-class management institute. He is now 75 years old !!
