Looking for More Meaning & Purpose in Life?
We’re used to hearing stories about South Asian success: earning wealth, titles, and recognition.
Dr Abraham George had it all - the business, the house, the status, yet none of it brought him purpose. We all think that we will feel happy too once we achieve the same…
But like so many successful individuals who ticked all the boxes, Dr. George realized that material success is not as fulfilling as it is claimed to be.
Dr. George writes in his bestselling memoir, Mountains to Cross,
“The pursuit of wealth and recognition no longer felt like a worthy endpoint.”
Dr George did something radical; he sold his business and embarked on a quest to find a deeper purpose in life.
Growing up, Dr. George couldn’t stand seeing the poverty, injustice, and inequality in rural South India. After decades of living in the US, he decided to return and face it head-on.
He built a hospital, led initiatives to remove lead from gasoline, and founded Shanti Bhavan, a free boarding school for children who were born into extreme poverty.
Women from a village near Shanti Bhavan, who work as laborers on a farm to make ends meet.

Dr. George came to a powerful conclusion: a meaningful life is shaped not by what you gain, but by what you give.
Mountains to Cross is much more than a bestselling memoir of Dr. George’s life, or a book that gives voice to underserved communities in India. It is a guide to help readers find their own purpose and meaning in life.
“I offer my story not as a blueprint for service but as an invitation to consider your path of purpose to find joy and a world surrounded by compassion.”
If you’re hungry for more meaning and deeper purpose in life, this book is for you!
All proceeds go directly to supporting the children at Shanti Bhavan.

Find more meaning, discover your life’s purpose now, and overcome your mountains.
