'''Shwetabh Gangwar''' is an Indian author, public speaker, YouTube personality and professional problem-solver known for his work on personal development, relationships, critical thinking and practical approaches to personal problems. He has published fiction and non-fiction, and has developed an online audience through video and social-media platforms, particularly through content associated with Mensutra.<ref name="penguin">{{cite web |url=https://www.penguin.co.in/book/think-better-than-your-brain/ |title=Think Better Than Your Brain |publisher=Penguin Random House India |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

== Early life and education ==

Publicly available biographical information about Gangwar's early life is limited. Penguin Random House India identifies him as a professional problem-solver and states that he holds a '''BSc in applied psychology'''. The publisher also describes him as having spent more than a decade listening to people describe personal problems and developing practical approaches to addressing them.<ref name="penguin"/>

His background in applied psychology has been associated with the way he approaches subjects involving human behaviour, relationships, decision-making and personal development. His public work combines personal observations, reasoning and practical problem-solving.

== Writing career ==

Gangwar's writing career includes both fiction and non-fiction. His early published novel, ''[[A Thousand Love Letters]]'', was first published in 2014. The novel is a contemporary romance centred on Ayan, Sara and Mezz, and explores unrequited love, friendship and differing attitudes towards romantic relationships.<ref name="atl">{{cite web |url=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20673986-a-thousand-love-letters |title=A Thousand Love Letters |publisher=Goodreads |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

Gangwar later became known for ''[[The Rudest Book Ever]]'', a self-help and personal-development book first published by Westland in 2019. The book presents perspectives concerning rejection, social approval, perceptions of other people, happiness, individuality, social-media influence and critical thinking.<ref name="openlibrary">{{cite web |url=https://openlibrary.org/books/OL32244271M/The_Rudest_Book_Ever |title=The Rudest Book Ever |publisher=Open Library |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

A later edition of the book was published by Juggernaut and is listed with the subtitle ''Powerful Perspectives to Free Your Mind''.<ref name="openlibrary2">{{cite web |url=https://openlibrary.org/books/OL43662141M/The_Rudest_Book_Ever |title=The Rudest Book Ever: Powerful Perspectives to Free Your Mind |publisher=Open Library |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

== Online work ==

Gangwar's public profile expanded through online video and social-media content. His work has been associated particularly with '''Mensutra''', a platform through which he discussed relationships, personal problems, social issues and individual decision-making. Contemporary coverage by ''India Today'' identified him as the person behind Mensutra and described the channel as producing videos in which he took a logical position on contemporary issues.<ref name="indiatoday">{{cite web |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/fyi/story/this-messiah-of-logic-calls-jnu-protestors-morons-see-why-309526-2016-02-19 |title=This messiah of logic calls JNU protestors morons. Or does he? |publisher=India Today |date=19 February 2016 |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

His online work has also included material dealing specifically with relationships. An archived record of one of his YouTube videos identifies Gangwar as the creator of a discussion on long-distance relationships and records his analysis of factors such as age, emotional needs and life experience.<ref name="video">{{cite web |url=https://unlistedvideos.com/vm.php?v=youtube-rV04MGpDnGw.html |title=Long Distance Relationships ka Complete Raw Analysis |publisher=Unlisted Videos |access-date=2 September 2026}}</ref>

Penguin Random House India's author profile states that Gangwar has more than five million followers across channels and hundreds of millions of views.<ref name="penguin"/>

== Approach and themes ==

A recurring theme in Gangwar's public work is the examination of how people interpret themselves, other people and difficult situations. His discussions frequently address relationships, rejection, social expectations, approval, individuality and decision-making.

''The Rudest Book Ever'' develops these themes into a collection of principles and perspectives intended to encourage readers to question assumptions and develop independent ways of thinking.<ref name="openlibrary"/>

His work also places emphasis on the distinction between being given conclusions and learning how to reason. The description of ''The Rudest Book Ever'' highlights critical thinking and the idea that people should learn how to think rather than simply being told what to think.<ref name="openlibrary"/>

This approach has contributed to Gangwar's identity as an online problem-solver rather than solely as an author. His public work combines writing, speaking and digital video, with personal problems and social questions serving as recurring subjects.

== Later work ==

In 2026, Penguin Random House India announced ''[[Think Better Than Your Brain]]'', a book by Gangwar focused on reasoning and problem-solving. The publisher describes the work as a practical system for developing better mental models and testing beliefs, and lists topics including clarity, flexibility, emotion regulation, scientific thinking, self-awareness, metacognition, fallibilism, knowledge breadth, epistemic humility and optimism.<ref name="penguin"/>

Penguin Random House India lists the book under its Ebury Press imprint with a scheduled October 2026 publication and a stated length of 320 pages for the paperback edition.<ref name="penguin"/>
