Introduction to Who’s Really Pulling My Strings?

By Arshad Amith

Arshad Amith’s debut book, Who’s Really Pulling My Strings?, is a transformative exploration of what truly drives human behavior, relationships, and decision-making. Drawing from over 20 years of experience as a business, lifestyle, and personal development coach, Amith merges profound insights with a deeply personal journey, offering readers a unique lens to view their lives.

Born amidst the vibrant energy of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and raised in the serene landscapes of Norway, Arshad’s life story is one of stark contrasts, resilience, and discovery. He has traveled the globe, speaking to tens of thousands and experiencing different cultures, faiths, and philosophies firsthand. His journey, however, took an unexpected turn when he was kidnapped, held for ransom, and falsely arrested while on a business trip abroad. This harrowing episode became the catalyst for his most profound personal and professional realization.

Through his recovery from PTSD, Amith began writing to untangle the chatter of his thoughts and beliefs, contrasting the fears and anxieties of the past and future with the peace found in the present moment. This writing became Who’s Really Pulling My Strings?, a guidebook that challenges readers to recognize the two forces shaping their lives: the reactive, fear-driven Survival Intellect and the mindful, purpose-driven Spiritual Intellect.

Arshad’s work stands apart for its ability to connect deeply with readers from all walks of life. With chapters that dissect universal themes—family, love, career, health, religion, politics, and more—this book is not just a philosophical treatise but a practical guide to enhancing the quality of life. It offers readers tools to move from merely surviving to thriving by practicing presence and aligning with their true intentions.

As an author, Amith combines the wisdom of ancient spiritual teachings with modern psychology, science, and personal stories, creating a work that is accessible, engaging, and profound. His voice resonates with authenticity, compassion, and a genuine desire to inspire positive change.

Who’s Really Pulling My Strings? is more than a book—it’s a wake-up call for anyone ready to reclaim their life from the grips of fear, judgment, and societal pressures. Arshad Amith invites readers on a journey of self-discovery, encouraging them to embrace their highest potential with clarity, presence, and purpose.

This is a book for those who dare to ask: Am I really living the life I’m meant to live?
