"कालीशंकर यदुवंशी एक प्रखर रणनीतिकार, आधुनिक विचारक और प्रशासनिक अनुभवों से समृद्ध मार्गदर्शक हैं। नेतृत्व और प्रबंधन के क्षेत्र में उनका करियर उपलब्धियों भरा रहा है। उत्तर प्रदेश को-ऑपरेटिव बैंक के पूर्व निदेशक के रूप में उन्होंने वित्तीय जटिलताओं और संगठन निर्माण को करीब से समझा है। ई-गवर्नेंस परियोजना 'CSC सहज' के समन्वयक के रूप में उनकी सफल सेवाएँ तकनीकी और आधुनिक शासन व्यवस्था में उनकी विशेषज्ञता का प्रमाण हैं। कालीशंकर जी का मिशन प्राचीन भारतीय प्रज्ञा (Ancient Wisdom) और आधुनिक न्यूरो-साइंस के बीच एक मजबूत सेतु का निर्माण करना है। उनकी यह कृति उनके व्यापक प्रशासनिक अनुभवों, राजनीतिक सूझबूझ और गहन शोध का निचोड़ है। एक लेखक के रूप में, वे जटिल सिद्धांतों को इतनी सरलता से प्रस्तुत करते हैं कि एक छात्र, उद्यमी या जन-नेता—कोई भी—उन्हें अपनाकर अपने जीवन में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव ला सके। उनका मानना है कि हर व्यक्ति के भीतर एक 'शिखर व्यक्तित्व' छिपा होता है, जिसे केवल एक सही रोडमैप की तलाश होती है।"
