Mumbai, Oct 08: Audible, an Amazon company and a creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, today announced the release of The Art of Being Fabulous, Shalini Passi’s memoir that explores her philosophy on living beautifully, with purpose and individuality. Published by Penguin Random House India, the audiobook brings together Passi’s reflections on art, fashion, creativity and spirituality, offering listeners an intimate exploration of what it means to build a beautiful mind and life. The audiobook is available on Audible from October 8, 2026.
In The Art of Being Fabulous, Passi moves beyond the surface idea of glamour to explore the principles that have shaped her own life. Structured around ten rules, the book draws on her experiences and perspectives to explore presence, purpose, courage, creativity, karma and self-belief, encouraging readers to embrace individuality and live on their own terms.
Known for her work as an art collector, artist and philanthropist, Passi has built a distinctive presence at the intersection of art, culture, fashion and design. Her debut memoir brings those worlds together with a more introspective perspective, reflecting on how beauty can extend beyond aesthetics into the way one thinks, lives and sees the world.
With the audiobook, listeners can experience Passi’s ideas in a format that fits naturally into everyday life, from a morning commute or quiet evening to moments of reflection between the demands of the day. The audio experience offers another way to engage with the book’s bite-sized reflections and return to its ideas whenever inspiration strikes.
Shalini Passi said,
“I wrote The Art of Being Fabulous to share some of the lessons I have gathered through the different chapters of my life — from art and creativity to spirituality, relationships and learning to trust myself. For me, being fabulous has never been about perfection or simply how we appear to the world. It is about knowing who you are, protecting your energy, making choices with intention and finding beauty in the way you live. I’m very happy that the book is now coming to Audible and can reach listeners in a format that can become part of their everyday lives.”
Shailesh Sawlani, Head of Global Revenue Marketing, Audible, said,
“The Art of Being Fabulous offers a thoughtful perspective on what it means to live beautifully, reminding us that true confidence and fulfilment come from within. Shalini Passi brings together her experiences across art, fashion, creativity and spirituality to explore ideas that are both deeply personal and widely relatable. Through audio, listeners can spend time with these reflections at their own pace and return to the ideas that resonate with them. We are delighted to bring her distinctive voice and perspective to Audible.”
