Book Summary

Key insights and themes from this essential read

What it's about

Dominion and Dharma offers a deep exploration into the process of learning and growth, merging actionable strategies with timeless philosophical wisdom on mastery and high performance. Written for leaders, entrepreneurs, and spiritual seekers alike, the book bridges ancient Dharmic principles with the practical demands of modern leadership - asking not just how to win, but what winning should mean in a civilisation built on cooperation rather than conquest. It's part business philosophy, part spiritual inquiry, and part civilisational critique.

Key themes

The book delves into the principles of cultivating a growth mindset, mastering deliberate practice, and building resilience in the face of challenges. It shows how to turn obstacles into stepping stones and align personal mastery with a greater sense of purpose, creating a powerful foundation for long-term success and fulfillment. Central to this is the tension between "dominion" - the impulse to control, extract, and conquer - and "dharma" - the discipline of right action aligned with a larger order. Vivek Singhal argues that sustainable leadership, whether in business, politics, or personal life, requires resolving this tension consciously rather than defaulting to dominion by habit.

Why it matters

This book is a must-read for anyone aiming to unlock their true potential. It provides a sustainable framework to achieve excellence in any field while fostering a sense of meaning and purpose in the journey. In an era where AI, geopolitical fragmentation, and civilisational anxiety dominate headlines, Dominion and Dharma offers a rare thing: a framework for leadership and spirituality that doesn't ask readers to choose between ambition and ethics. It's written for the reader who senses the current model of capitalism is exhausted, and wants language - and a plan - for what comes next.

Vivek Singhal, author of Dominion and Dharma

About Author

Guided by wisdom and experience.

Vivek Singhal is a seasoned academician and strategic advisor who spent decades teaching at the University of Chicago. With a rich background in executive roles at Fortune 50 companies and his own strategic business advisory firm founded in 1985, Vivek Singhal has been actively investing in impact ideas across health, education, and finance sectors since 2000. He is a thinker, mentor, and a dedicated advocate for Sanatan Dharma. His guiding philosophy, —”Thinking of the Future; Acting in the Present”—continues to shape his writings and his outlook on global leadership and humanity’s future.

Across his teaching, advisory work, and writing, Singhal has focused on a single throughline: that lasting leadership and spirituality are not opposites but the same discipline, applied at different scales. Dominion and Dharma is the culmination of that inquiry - a book for readers of business philosophy, leadership strategy, and Sanatan Dharma alike.

Our Mission

To awaken 8+ billion humans into conscious co-creatorship of a new civilization — one where Dharma, not dominion, shapes the way we live, work, and thrive.

This is not just a mission — it’s a movement towards a future built on cooperation over competition, purpose over profit, and conscious creation over domination.

This mission runs through every chapter of Dominion and Dharma - from its critique of extractive capitalism to its practical playbook for leaders who want to build differently. Readers looking for spirituality and leadership books that go beyond platitudes will find a civilisational argument here, not just a self-help framework.
