He is the author of The Difficulty of Being Good: On the subtle art of dharma which analyses the epic, Mahabharata. A huge cleft in the history of our civilisation is our relationship with erotic love which is at the same time a subject of great prudery and prurience? Has that always been the case? What is the story of pleasure and desire across time, our culture, and other cultures? Corporate guru, growth expert, and former head of Procter and Gamble, Gurucharan Das speaks not only about the past of erotic love but also ablout the future of erotic love. And where we stand at its present. As a public intellectual, his dalliance with philosophy is less known. After having written a book on “Artha” and the challenges of being good, i.e., “Dharma”, he’s here to talk about “Kama” in this conversation.
