The Eyes Have It
I met Mohan Ranga Rao as a client. A brilliant, accomplished man navigating deep questions about grief. But over time—through countless conversations, quiet moments, and hard-won truths—he became something else entirely.
A friend. A teacher. A soul I trust.
Working with him cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect. He helped me see grief not as something to fix or escape, but as a doorway. A sacred teacher. And his new book is an invitation to walk through that doorway with him.
What if grief isn’t something we’re meant to get through—but something that opens a deeper kind of seeing?
This is a question that Mohans answers in his latest book called Myopia, coming out on April 22.
Some of you may have heard Mohan on my Third Way podcast. Some of you have met him. If so, you know: he’s the real deal. Wise. Gentle. Fierce in his love. Mohan doesn’t posture or pretend. He speaks from somewhere deeper.
His book is no different.
A Book That Sees Through You
Myopia is what happens when a father—once guided by control, certainty, and logic—is forced to let go. And in that letting go, he discovers something far more powerful: vision. Not the kind that looks ahead, but the kind that sees within.
It’s a spiritual memoir. A love letter to his daughter, Yogita. And a sacred disruption to how we’ve been taught to hold sorrow.
When Yogita was born with profound disabilities, Mohan’s identity as a father, a leader, and a man began to dissolve. What emerged is the voice in this book—humble, raw, and lit from the inside out.
This isn’t a book you race through. It’s one that lingers. It’s a spiritual transmission—designed to move slowly, land deeply, and live in the hearts of those who need it most.
It changed me. It showed me parts of myself I didn’t know were there. It made me see differently. And I believe it will do the same for you.
Guy Finley, author of The Secret of Letting Go, put it like this:
"Myopia is a welcome, refreshing read; it tells a moving story about the possibility of being able to see how—even in the midst of the darkest events—there is a light waiting within them with the power to heal all that it touches."
Why Pre-orders Matter
Pre-orders are one of the most important things you can do to support an independent author. Bookstores use them as signals. Algorithms respect them. And most importantly: they tell the world this book matters.
So here’s my ask: If you are able, please pre-order Myopia today.Â
You won’t be the same after reading it—and neither will the person you hand it to.
Want to Help Carry the Light?
If you feel called to help carry Yogita’s story further than any algorithm ever could, here are a few soulful ways to support Mohan:
Know a podcast host who would love Mohan’s voice?
Want to host a virtual Q&A with Mohan?
Know someone with a big platform who would be open to endorsing the book?
Want to organize a book event or signing in your city?
If yes to any of these, just reply, send me a message, or drop a comment. I’ll follow up.
Final Note
Mohan is offering free, signed copies of Myopia to any grief center or nonprofit that serves parents who’ve lost children—or supports children born with disabilities. If you know of an organization that fits, please connect us.
This is how we move sacred work in the world. Not through hype. Through hands. Through hearts. Through word of mouth.
I'm so happy for Mohan! Can't wait to pre-order.
