Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines and Habits of Billionaires, Icons and World-Class Performers ~By Timothy Ferriss

2022-01-06T22:06:00.006+05:30

This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and inside baseball you won't find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new guests you haven't met.

What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning What do their workout routines look like, and why What books have they gifted most to other people What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field What supplements do they take on a daily basis

I don't view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can't test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I'm not interested.

Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I've used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration.

I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. Its changed my life, and I hope the same for you.

The Science of Mind Management ~By Swami Mukundanand

2022-01-06T22:03:00.003+05:30

The quality of our mind determines the quality of the life we lead. It can be our greatest ally or our worst adversary.

Through witty anecdotes, real-life accounts and stories from the Vedic scriptures, he gently guides readers on the road to winning their inner battle.

The Curse of Bramha ~By Jagmohan Bhanver

2022-01-06T22:01:00.001+05:30

"The man who became a brahmarishi. The curse that banished him to the hell of hells. And the revenge that threatens to destroy the three worlds."

In a fit of rage, Brahma banishes his star pupil from Swarglok. Mortally wounded and anguished at Brahma's unfair punishment, the man struggles to survive in tamastamah prabha, the hell of hells. In time, he becomes the Dark Lord, the most feared figure in Pataal Lok, who swears to destroy Brahma

"Brahma's curse sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to alter the fate of the three worlds. Vasudev, the brave Prince of Bateshwar, becomes the hunter of Asura assassins, his closest friend, Kansa, almost dies saving his sister, Devki, from a group of deadly monsters and the most valiant kings in Mrityulok turn over to the dark side, driven by forces beyond their control. Only one person threatens the Dark Lord's well laid plan Devki, the beautiful princess of Madhuvan, who is destined to give birth to the warrior Krishna."

The Conqueror (The Thrilling Tale of The King Who Mastered The Seas Rajendra Chola Book- I) ~By Aditya Iyengar

2022-01-06T21:42:00.005+05:30

Kingdoms are built by men. Legacies are built by emperors. It is 1025 ad. The mighty chola empire that controls much of southern bharatvarsha is helmed by emperor rajendra chola i – a man as enigmatic as his kingdom is renowned. Known for his might and vision, he has now set his sights upon the southern seas, governed by the powerful srivijaya empire. But his victories also bring forth stories of those affected by his ambition. Of an unnamed princess forced to fend for herself among enemies after everything she has ever known is destroyed by the ravaging chola forces. Of maharaja sangrama, captive in an alien land, who is torn between his enmity tempered by an unusual friendship with the elusive rajendra chola and his fierce determination to return to his kingdom. Told through the eyes of a prisoner of war and a princess without a kingdom, the conqueror is a magnificent narrative – of war and conquest, of loss and death, of kingship and legacy.

2020-06-15T10:56:00.001+05:30

I don't write about my experiences with depression to defend the legitimacy of my pain. My pain is real; it does not come to me because of my lifestyle, and it is not taken away by my lifestyle.

Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt's older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint-until recently. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head.

Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals both the daily experiences and big picture of one of the most debilitating and critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century. Equal parts conundrum and enlightenment, Shaheen takes us through the personal pendulum of understanding and living with depression in her privileged circumstances. With honesty and a profound self-awareness, Shaheen lays claim to her sadness, while locating it in the universal fabric of the human condition.

In this multi-dimensional, philosophical tell-all, Shaheen acknowledges, accepts and overcomes the peculiarities of living with depression. A topic of massive interest to anyone with mental health disorders, I've Never Been (Un)Happier stretches out its hand to gently provide solace and solidarity.

You are the Best Wife A True Love Story ~ By Ajay Pandey

2020-04-30T11:45:00.000+05:30

You Are The Best Wife: A True Love Story’ is a story about how people find true love and comfort in dissimilarities; about how two people with absolutely different ideologies meet and fall in love.

The story revolves around Bhavna and Ajay. Bhavna loves living life for others while Ajay loves living for himself; Bhavna is more spontaneous, never planning the next move and living life with the flow. On the other hand, living life without planning a single move is almost blasphemous to Ajay. Yet, they fall in love; they get married and love changes both of them for good.

It is an inspiring and bittersweet tale of a youth that metamorphoses into a whole new being after being touched by love.
