The rise of ‘stealth help’ genera of books

Stealth help books are a genre of literature that focus on providing assistance and support to individuals and organizations without drawing attention to oneself. These books offer strategies and techniques for providing covert support, often with the goal of empowering the recipient to become self-sufficient.

One popular book in this genre is "The Stealth Mentor" by Dr. Roger Firestien. This book provides a step-by-step guide for mentoring others without them even realizing it. It covers topics such as how to provide constructive feedback, how to build trust, and how to recognize opportunities for growth.

Another notable book is "Stealth Philanthropy" by Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen. This book provides an in-depth look at the world of anonymous giving and how it can be used to make a positive impact in the world. It covers the history of stealth philanthropy, the ethics of anonymous giving, and how to create an effective stealth philanthropy strategy.  "The Stealth Leader" by Robert E. Kelley is another book that provides insights on how to lead without being in the spotlight. It explains how to be a leader that is invisible to the organization yet effective and respected. This book also provides guidance on how to empower your team and how to lead by example.


In his recent book, Diary of a Successful Loser, technology executive and author Mohan K explores his life lessons, hoping others can draw lessons from these setbacks. Mohan feels that all of us are successful losers – Losers because of the setbacks. Successful because we have overcome setbacks, loss and failures. In this book, the author narrates notable failures and setbacks that have been part of his life journey in ways that he didn’t anticipate. These stories hold a mirror to typical experiences that we are likely to encounter in a life journey.

"The Art of Stealth Wealth" by Mark Ford, is a book that teaches readers how to build wealth in a way that is inconspicuous, and how to use it to make a positive impact in the world. It covers topics such as how to invest in real estate, how to start a business, and how to live a financially independent lifestyle.

These books offer a wealth of information and strategies for providing stealth help, and they can be a valuable resource for anyone looking to make a positive impact in the world without drawing attention to themselves. However, it's important to keep in mind that every situation is different and it's always important to consider the potential ethical implications and unintended consequences of any actions.

Lessons from the story about Bengaluru Techie being extorted by rogue cops - Use social media judiciously to help those in need

Lessons from the story about Bangalore Techie being extorted - Let’s use social media judiciously to help those in need I was fascinated to see a thread of complaint posted by @vpatilav , a 22 year old intern from Himachal Pradesh who tweeted about being extorted by a couple of cops. His Twitter thread explained how he was illegally detained and extorted by cops while returning home after a late-night shift. The two cops on night duty allegedly planted a small twig of ganja (marijuana) in the youth’s bag and threatened to implicate him in a drug related case. They asked for cash in return for ‘letting him go.’ The techie paid them about Rs 2,500 before he could walk away.
