This book uses ancient Indian stories to understand and resolve modern-day family problems. The author believes that the conflict between parents and children is not new - it has existed since ancient times, as seen in the tale of the Sanat Kumaras.
The book highlights how parents often try to fulfill their own unfulfilled desires through their children. This leads to feelings of guilt in the children when they are unable to meet their parents' expectations. As a result, many sensitive children are pushed to take extreme steps, including suicide.
It also points out that, ironically, financial prosperity often becomes the cause of family discord, as families living in poverty are usually too busy striving for livelihood to have time for conflict.
Finally, through ancient stories such as Nahusha's arrogance and Yayati's selfishness, the book shows how unchecked prosperity and unfulfilled desires can lead to destruction. Its goal is to help readers see family issues from a new perspective.
