Through<br>elegant prose and philosophical insight, the narrative introduces EchoTime &#8211; an emotional clock<br>that explains why a heartbreak can feel longer than a decade and a quiet embrace, like an instant. It speaks how stress accelerates aging and how love repairs it. The book does not seek<br>to provide answers. Instead, it holds up a mirror to everything we thought was real, unravelling<br>it through reflection and inquiry.<br>The book is built on five decades of learning and reflection. It draws from LC Singh\u2019s sustained<br>inquiry into existentialism, systems theory, science, and philosophy. It does not emerge from<br>sudden realizations but from years of focused investigation on who we are, why we exist and<br>what drives our likes and dislikes. A technologist, photographer and writer, director, producer<br>of Banaras: A Mystic Love Story (2006), his journey spans remote villages and global<br>boardrooms, Harvard and Banaras, science and silence. He continues to be a lifelong student of<br>epistemology and ontology.<br>\u201cBeyond technology and success, what truly defines us are our emotions. The ones that guide our choices, shape our empathy and make us human. This book is about recognising this.\u201d &#8211; says LC Singh, Author of The Collapse of Illusions.<br>This post-launch release follows early acclaim from global voices. Dr. Satish K. Tripathi,<br>President of the University at Buffalo, SUNY, says, \u201cLC Singh\u2019s The Collapse of Illusions dazzles<br>with moments of brilliance, weaving metaphysics, philosophy, science and Vedantic wisdom into a seamless journey through life\u2019s most profound questions. It boldly invites the reader to explore the mysteries of existence &#8211; sometimes chaotic, always illuminating.\u201d<br>K. V. Sridhar (Pops), Chief Creative Officer and global brand leader, shares, \u201cProfound, poetic and<br>scientifically insightful, yet remarkably simple &#8211; truly brilliant.\u201d<br>Chris Chapman, Vice Chair at ICANN and former CEO of the Sydney Olympic Stadiums, writes,<br>\u201cWhat remains when belief fades? That\u2019s what I ask myself every second day. LC Singh\u2019s book asks this fundamental question through synthesising the disciplines of both science and philosophy and seeking to do so through a coherent framework. The book is original, its profoundness helping me to ease my anxieties.\u201d<br>Pankaj Shukla, popular writer, director, and producer writes, \u201cThis book touches the very basic<br>chord of music called Life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune: Technologist, corporate leader and storyteller LC Singh has launched his debut book The Collapse of Illusions at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
