“She's contagious. She's magnetic. We all need more of Puja Gupta.” This is just one of many, many testimonials that flashed across the screen at the launch of Puja Gupta's Life by Design.

Life by Design is a life centre that seeks to help one find direction and fulfilment in life. It offers the ‘Dream by Design' course — a 20-hour programme spread out over a month, to assist its enrolees design their lives and “reach new levels of success and fulfilment” in physical, mental, financial, emotional or spiritual spheres of being. “My purpose is to bring success to people, to help them live their highest potential in life,” says the certified lifestyle designer and coach.

The change

Puja has trained under one of the heavyweights of the self-help genre, Jack Canfield — co-creator of the best-selling “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series. “There was a time when I was so far from my ideal life that I had no idea how I was going to bridge the gap. I flew to America and enrolled myself in a programme ‘Train the Trainer by Jack Canfield' . By just the second stage of Jack's course, I had found my purpose. All the dots suddenly connected.” After finding her own purpose in life, and experiencing the happiness that came with doing so, Puja wants to lead others towards finding theirs, and hopes that her centre will be instrumental in bringing these self-help concepts to India.

“I want to take you from being a zombie to becoming a zoner!” she exclaims. According to Puja, many people are ‘zombies' — who simply go through the motions of life without a sense of definite purpose, and feel unfulfilled. Her course promises to transform a zombie to a ‘zoner' — someone who recovers control over life, takes decisive action and finds purpose and fulfilment.

“A large component of my course rests on the concept of gratitude. Just learning to be grateful for what you have, and to say ‘thank you' to all the wonderful people in your life is so important,” she stresses.

‘Dream by Design' comes with a designer price tag of Rs. 35,000. However, Puja is confident. “If you are not delighted with the course, I will refund your registration fee within 30 days.”
