One Minute Wisdom with Prof. Debashis Chatterjee on Life, Learning & Leadership

About this Podcast:

Can wisdom be shared in a minute? In this profound and thought-provoking conversation, Prof. Debashis Chatterjee—author, philosopher, and Director of IIM Kozhikode—challenges our conventional notions of time, knowledge, and reality. Drawing from his new book One Minute Wisdom, he explores how life’s most transformative insights often strike in seconds—not through theory, but through lived experience.

From near-death moments to simple acts of integrity, Prof. Chatterjee shares powerful real-life stories that embody Karma Yoga and spiritual presence. He explains why Indian philosophy is not intellectual speculation, but a lived, embodied truth that emerges when our mental models collapse.

This episode invites you to reflect on those flashes of insight when life demands more than thought—it demands awakening.

“It took a lifetime to write, a minute to express, and another lifetime to practice.

Key Takeaways:

• Wisdom can be lived in a second, not just shared in a minute.
• Reality often challenges our mental models, leading to wisdom.
• Reflection is crucial for effective leadership and personal growth.
• Our past experiences shape our present identity and decisions.
• Mind management involves reducing distractions and increasing awareness.
• Inadequacy drives many to seek achievement, but acceptance is key.
• Indian philosophy emphasizes transformation over mere speculation.
• Writing should stem from personal experience and authenticity.
• Moments of clarity can lead to profound realizations.
• Stillness is inherent to our nature, often disturbed by external chaos.
