Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties — Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties

₹1300

A journalist's twenty-year obsession with the Manson murders brings shocking revelations about the most infamous crimes in American history: carelessness from police, misconduct by prosecutors, and even potential surveillance by intelligence agents. What really happened in 1969? In 1999, when Tom O'Neill was assigned a magazine piece about the thirtieth anniversary of the Manson murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Weren't the facts indisputable? Charles Manson had ordered his teenage followers to commit seven brutal murders, and in his thrall, they'd gladly complied. But when O'Neill began reporting the story, he kept finding holes in the prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's narrative, long enshrined in the best-selling Helter Skelter. Before long, O'Neill had questions about everything from the motive to the manhunt. Though he'd never considered himself a conspiracy theorist, the Manson murders swallowed the next two decades of his career. He was obsessed. Searching but never speculative, CHAOS follows O'Neill's twenty-year effort to rebut the "official" story behind Manson. Who were his real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties? Why didn't law enforcement act on their many chances to stop him? And how did he turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers? O'Neill's hunt for answers leads him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from the Summer of Love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with cover-ups and coincidences. Featuring hundreds of new interviews and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, CHAOS mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Stephen Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. In those two dark nights in Los Angeles, O'Neill finds the story of California in the sixties: when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia-or dystopia-was just an acid trip away

I AM GITA BY DEEP TRIVEDI - PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA — I AM GITA BY DEEP TRIVEDI - PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA

₹165

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA EXPLAINED LIKE NEVER BEFORE!Moments before the Mahabharata war, Arjuna says, ‘I don’t wish to slay my brothers or commit violence just to gain a kingdom; even the scriptures forbid this!’ Are you in agreement with Arjuna? Why did Krishna disagree with Arjuna? Did Krishna incite Arjuna to fight the war or did he show him the right path? Can there be valid reasons for committing violence and waging a war? Who is right—Krishna or Arjuna? Why did it take Krishna all of 18 chapters to convince Arjuna?Certainly, Gita is one but the questions are many! And Gita is the epitome of psychology, as Krishna is the first psychologist of human history; and it is spiritual psychology alone that can accurately answer all the questions related to mind and life. Yet, the psychological aspects of Gita have always been ignored.‘I am Gita’ is the first-ever book on Bhagavad Gita that elucidates the essence of all 700 shlokas along with its psychological and spiritual dimension in totality. In the book, Arjuna poses his questions in first person, and Krishna also answers in first person, which makes the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna come alive. Imparting the thrill of a story, the book, penned in a simple language, will help people of all age groups grasp the true essence of the Gita effortlessly.Deep Trivedi is the author of several bestsellers such as ‘I am Krishna’, ‘I am The Mind’, ‘Everything is Psychology’ and many more. He holds an international record for conducting 168 hours of workshops on the Bhagavad Gita. He has also been awarded with an Honorary Doctorate for his works on the psychology of Bhagavad Gita.This book is available in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati at leading book stores and e-commerce sites.

These hills called home — These hills called home

₹210

More than half a century of bloodshed has marked the history of the Naga people who live in the troubled northeastern region of India. Their struggle for an independent Nagaland and their continuing search for identity provides the backdrop for the stories that make up this unusual collection. Describing how ordinary people cope with violence, how they negotiate power and force, how they seek and find safe spaces and enjoyment in the midst of terror, the author details a way of life under threat from the forces of modernization and war. No one the young, the old, the ordinary housewife, the willing partner, the militant who takes to the gun, and the young woman who sings even as she is being raped is untouched by the violence. Theirs are the stories that form the subtext of the struggles that lie at the internal faultlines of the Indian nation-state. These are stories that speak movingly of home, country, nation, nationality, identity, and direct the reader to the urgency of the issues that lie at their heart.

Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money--investing, personal finance, and business decisions--is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.
