Mohan Kumar Ashokan

Mohan Kumar Ashokan is a writer who enjoys taking big ideas and making them simple enough for anyone to use in everyday life.

He is the author of the Thirukkural for Everyone series, which brings the 2,000-year-old Tamil classic by Thiruvalluvar to modern readers — no Tamil needed. Across the series, all 1,330 of Thiruvalluvar's couplets are presented in easy Roman letters, with a simple English translation, a short explanation, and a relatable modern story for every single couplet. The series spans the work's three great themes: Virtue, Wealth, and Love.

He has also written just flow and am I living or just coping?, two short books about living with more ease and less pressure.

Mohan does not see himself as a guru, teacher, or motivational speaker — just someone who loves wisdom that actually works in real life, and who wants to share it in plain, friendly language. He lives in the United Kingdom.
