This publisher’s note introduces Asim Chaudhuri’s fifth book on Swami Vivekananda, titled Swami Vivekananda—The Ultimate Paradox Manager. The work explores how Swamiji masterfully navigated the inherent contradictions and "dissonances" of life—challenges that often cause ordinary individuals significant anxiety and moral distress.

By applying Leon Festinger’s "theory of cognitive dissonance," the author examines Swamiji’s multi-dimensional personality and his ability to reconcile opposing facets of existence. The book features a foreword by management guru Dr. Mrityunjay Athreya and serves as a stimulating study of Swamiji’s internal harmony. Published in April 2016, it aims to provide readers with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how one of history’s greatest leaders managed life's complex paradoxes.
