Most books published this year don't break new ground or have a legitimate reason for existence other than being a published author. Most books can be ignored. Parthiv Shah's little book, "Business Kamasutra" should not be. . Most of my strategies focus on attraction in place of pursuit and consent in place of rape. This little book puts structure and system and technology for implementation underneath these ideas. . Parthiv is an implementer. He has, bluntly, a clever thief inside him with a focus on 'swipe & deploy' or the aggregation of best strategies in place of innovation. Innovation is far too highly prized, when it is implementation that matters most. . This book gets from concepts to practical implementation, which is where you want to be. . Business is Sex is a really great conceptual way to understand relationship with prospects and customers, but without the methodology and means and resources of implementing, it's empty. . Complexity is embraced in this book, and enabled by the suggestions late in this book. Process complexity is an extremely valuable asset. . As the Kama Sutra greatly complicate sex but gives it master dramatic advantage in sustaining the interest of his lover(s), the ability to implement this Business Kamasutra gives sustainable competitive advantage to a company. . Too many business books are nothing but flowery words and foreplay, a romancing, with no consummation. Here Parthiv has provided method and means for consummating change in your business."

One of the best English translations of this ancient Indian treatise on politics, social mores, love, and intimacy are the Kama Sutra, which Mallanaga Vatsyayana wrote in the second century CE. Its clean presentation raised the bar for Sanskrit translation. The Kama Sutra is a unique combination of sexology, society, psychology. It has been hailed as a great work of Indian literature for more than 1,700 years and has served as a window for the West into the mysticism and culture of the East. The Kama Sutra, a prehistoric Indian literature, is regarded as the most important Sanskrit study of human sexuality. The Kama Sutra remains one of the most accessible and entertaining of all the ancient classics, having been written with frankness and unassuming simplicity. The Kama Sutra is so significant as a work of philosophy, psychology, sociology, theology, science, and sexology that it simultaneously had an impact on Indian civilization and remained a crucial component in understanding it.
