EVERY THING IS F*CKED — EVERY THING IS F*CKED

₹135

From the author of the international mega-bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck comes a counterintuitive guide to the problems of hope. We live in an interesting time. Materially, everything is the best it’s ever been—we are freer, healthier and wealthier than any people in human history. Yet, somehow everything seems to be irreparably and horribly f*cked—the planet is warming, governments are failing, economies are collapsing, and everyone is perpetually offended on Twitter. At this moment in history, when we have access to technology, education and communication our ancestors couldn’t even dream of, so many of us come back to an overriding feeling of hopelessness.What’s going on? If anyone can put a name to our current malaise and help fix it, it’s Mark Manson. In 2016, Manson published The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, a book that brilliantly gave shape to the ever-present, low-level hum of anxiety that permeates modern living. He showed us that technology had made it too easy to care about the wrong things, that our culture had convinced us that the world owed us something when it didn’t—and worst of all, that our modern and maddening urge to always find happiness only served to make us unhappier. Instead, the “subtle art” of that title turned out to be a bold challenge: to choose your struggle; to narrow and focus and find the pain you want to sustain. The result was a book that became an international phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide while becoming the #1 bestseller in 13 different countries.Now, in Everthing Is F*cked, Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment and the internet, a

THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK — THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F*CK

₹135

New York Times BestsellerIn this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

मेरे पिता ने मुझे 11 साल की उम्र में ही आजाद पंछी की तरह छोड़ दिया और मुझसे बोले, ''अपने सपनों का पीछा करो, लेकिन यह शर्त है कि तुम उनको पाने के लिए शॉर्टकट नहीं ढूँढ़ोगे।'' अपने 24 साल के लंबे कॅरियर के दौरान शायद ही ऐसा कोई क्रिकेट रिकॉर्ड होगा, जो सचिन तेंदुलकर से अछूता रहा हो। टेस्ट और एक दिवसीय मैचों में सबसे ज्यादा रन बनाने के अलावा वे पहले और एकमात्र ऐसे बल्लेबाज बने, जिसने 100 अंतरराष्ट्रीय शतक लगाए और 200 टेस्ट मैचों में अपनी मौजूदगी दर्ज कराई। उनकी स्ट्रोक खेलने की विशिष्ट शैली ने उनको ऐतिहासिक हस्ती बना दिया, क्योंकि यह उनकी ही विलक्षण क्षमता थी कि वह दुनिया के किसी भी हिस्से में और मैदान के किसी भी कोने पर गेंद मार सकते थे। बंबई में एक मध्यवर्गीय परिवार में जनमे सचिन ने, जो कि एक शरारती बच्चे थे, बड़े हुए तो दिखाया-एक खिलाड़ी और कप्तान के रूप में कैसे लक्ष्यों को हासिल किया जाता है और कैसे सपनों को सच किया जाता है! हैरत की बात नहीं, खेल के प्रति उनका जुनून, देश के लिए उनके मन में सम्मान और मैदान एवं उससे बाहर उनका शानदार व्यवहार ही वे बातें रहीं, जिन्होंने उनको करोड़ों लोगों का चहेता और आनेवाली पीढ़ी के लिए रोल मॉडल बनाया था। सचिन तेंदुलकर के शिखर को छूने की रोचक और प्रेरणाप्रद यात्रा, उन्हीं की जुबानी। यह पुस्तक न केवल पठनीय है, वरन् असंख्य युवाओं और खेल-प्रेमियों के लिए प्रेरणा का खजाना है।

MANY EVERESTS — MANY EVERESTS

₹300

As the first IAS officer to climb the world's tallest peak, Ravindra Kumar in this book has presented Mount Everest as a symbol of life's problems beyond the limit of a physical barrier. Introducing the innovative technique of 'Advanced Positive Visualisation', the author explains how the various Everests of life can be conquered with this success key. Kumar has tested the impact of this technique personally and has achieved many feats-starting from his selection in the prestigious IIT entrance examination to his selection in the premier Civil Services Examination and becoming an IAS officer after working at sea for many years and, thereafter, climbing the highest peak of the world in his maiden attempt. It is through his life journey and after analysing its impact, the author has presented to the reader the innate power lying dormant in the human mind. Kumar's claim is based on the fact that our brain catches the image of anything before any other sensory perception like speech, hearing, smell, touch, etc. Although this is a daily phenomenon we don't notice it. The author has not only documented his observation from day-to-day life but has also explained it scientifically by connecting the dots of old as well as modern scientific researches, including Einstein's theory of relativity, findings by yogis, experiments on human brain by modern research centres such as Harvard Medical School, Leningrad Military Laboratory, etc. He has explained this technical subject in a simple lucid language to be understood by all. By demonstrating the miraculous effect of this technique in the lives of ordinary people through the example of his life, the author explains to the readers, and in the process motivates them on how, despite life's vicissitudes, one can achieve one's dreams.

APJ Abdul Kalam : Wings Of Fire — APJ Abdul Kalam : Wings Of Fire

₹330

Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the son of a little-educated boat-owner in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, had an unparalleled career as a defence scientist, culminating in the highest civilian award of India, the Bharat Ratna. As chief of the country's defence research and development programme, Kalam demonstrated the great potential for dynamism and innovation that existed in seemingly moribund research establishments. This is the story of Kalam's rise from obscurity and his personal and professional struggles, as well as the story of Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and Nag-missiles that have become household names in India and that have raised the nation to the level of a missile power of international reckoning. This is also the saga of independent India's struggle for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy-a story as much about politics, domestic and international, as it is about science.
