“Brilliant message from a clever librarian who arranged these books so their titles impart meaningful advice. Read from top left to bottom right in order!” Tharoor wrote while sharing the image.

The picture shows various books kept on what looks like a bookshelf. All the books have different titles. However, when read one after the other, there is a message.

Though brilliant, the image is not of an actual library. It’s creation of an artist named Phil Shaw. The picture was first shared on Shaw’s personal Instagram profile back in April.

Take a look at the tweet Tharoor shared and see for yourself what the book titles spell out:
