"Who says you can't be glamorous and game-changing? My book is my love letter to fabulous, fearless living -- with heels on, heart open, and art everywhere. And I am truly grateful that I found the right partners in this journey.

"A big thank you to Preeti Chaturvedi and The Sunflower Seeds who believed in the power of this idea and also to my publishers- Penguin Random House India who are committed to creating impact through this book," Passi said in a statement.

According to the publisher, the book blends memoir and manifesto to deliver a powerful message: "live life on your own terms".

Inspirational, practical and irreverent, this book will be a ready reckoner for anyone who wants to make the most of life's opportunities and stay happy," added Milee Ashwarya, publisher and senior VP, Adult Publishing Group at PRHI.
