New Delhi, Delhi December 11, 2025  – Indian corporate leader Gaurav Patel has launched “Soul-Lag” — a transformative book helping high achievers realign their lives and overcome silent emotional exhaustion.

After 21 years in the corporate world, Gaurav Patel — an active senior leader and founder of the Soul-Lag philosophy — has announced the release of his breakthrough book, “Soul-Lag: Realigning Your Life.” The book presents a powerful new framework explaining why high performers feel emotionally drained, directionless, or disconnected from themselves despite external success.

What Is Soul-Lag?

Soul-Lag describes the gap between life’s outer pace and one’s inner rhythm. When life moves faster than the soul, professionals begin experiencing subtle yet serious symptoms like emotional flatness, loss of presence, unexplained fatigue, and achievement without fulfillment.

Patel stresses that Soul-Lag is not burnout, depression, or weakness — it is feedback. A signal that alignment must be restored for life to feel meaningful again.

A Practical System for Realignment — Not Quick Fixes

The book blends storytelling, psychology, leadership insights, and neuroscience-aligned tools to create a repeatable, structured system for personal realignment. Key frameworks include:

• The Alignment Loop — Recognize ‘ Recenter ‘ Reflect ‘ Realign

• Aligned Micro-Steps — small, sustainable actions that rebuild identity

• The Flow Window — regaining emotional and cognitive stability

• The Spiral Growth Principle — understanding life’s rhythm of rise, drift, correction, and growth

Unlike traditional self-help, Soul-Lag provides lifelong tools, not motivational shortcuts.

Why This Book Matters

Millions of professionals today are achieving more while feeling less fulfilled. Patel highlights that emotional exhaustion has become a “quiet epidemic” in global corporate life, driven by:

• Constant pace

• High-pressure environments

• Digital overload

• Lack of recovery

• Disconnected identity

Readers follow relatable scenarios through protagonist Arnav, reflecting how many successful individuals feel “stuck while moving.”

Who the Book Helps

The framework is designed for:

• Corporate professionals

• Leaders and managers

• Entrepreneurs

• Creators and high performers

• Anyone rebuilding their life after burnout, drift, or emotional fatigue

The book includes reflection tools, alignment exercises, micro-step plans, and a free online Soul-Lag Test at .
