The Hindu Way by Shashi Tharoor
The Hindu Way: An Introduction to Hinduism, the new book by bestselling author Shashi Tharoor, whose last three books have sold over a quarter of a million copies in hardback, is the perfect introduction to one of the world’s oldest, largest and most complex religions. Although there are hundreds of books on Hinduism, there are only a few which provide a lucid, accessible, yet deeply layered account of the religion’s numerous belief systems, schools of thought, sects, tenets, scriptures, deities, rituals, customs, festivals and philosophies. This book is one of them. In the tradition of classics of the genre like K. M. Sen’s Hinduism and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s The Hindu View of Life, this book captures the essence of Hinduism with brevity, insight and an enviable grasp of the myriad layers and intricacies of one of the world’s greatest religions. It is a book that is especially timely given the rather controversial role that religion has played in countries around the world. The author tells us why Hinduism is a religion that is well-suited to the needs of the world today: ‘In the twenty-first century, Hinduism has many of the attributes of a universal religion—a religion that is personal and individualistic, privileges the individual and does not subordinate one to a collectivity; a religion that grants and respects complete freedom to the believer to find his or her own answers to the true meaning of life; a religion that offers a wide range of choice in religious practice, even in regard to the nature and form of the formless God; a religion that places great emphasis on one’s mind, and values one’s capacity for reflection, intellectual enquiry, and self-study; a religion that distances itself from dogma and holy writ, that is minimally prescriptive and yet offers an abundance of options, spiritual and philosophical texts and social and cultural practices to choose from. In a world where resistance to authority is growing, Hinduism imposes no authorities; in a world of networked individuals, Hinduism propo
Who will cry when you die
Çocukluğumda babam, bana asla unutamayacağım bir şey söylemişti: "Evlat, doğduğunda tüm dünya gülümserken sen ağlıyordun. Öyle bir yaşam sür ki öldüğünde tüm dünya ağlarken sen gülümse." Hayatın gerçek anlamını unuttuğumuz bir çağdayız. Ay'a bile gidilebiliyorken arkadaşlarımıza zaman ayıramıyoruz. Dünyanın diğer ucundaki bir hedefi on ikiden vurabiliyoruz ama çocuklarımızla vakit geçiremiyoruz. İnsanlığımızla bağlarımızı yitirdik. Amacımızı kaybettik. En önemli değerlerimizi unuttuk.Bu yüzden şimdi size içtenlikle soruyorum: Siz ölünce kim ağlayacak? Hala hayattayken kaç yaşamı etkileyeceksiniz? Gelecek nesillere nasıl bir miras bırakacaksınız?Robin Sharma, 101 basit öneriyle içinizdeki boşluğu, derin bir huzur, tutku ve amaçla doldurmanız, yüreğinizdeki ışığı ortaya çıkarıp zengin bir hayat sürmeniz için size yol gösterecek...“Sharma, aydınlanma yolunda okurlarına rehberlik ediyor.” — The Chronicle-Herald

The psychopathology of everyday life
Parapraxes, that is to say, everyday errors such as slips of the tongue, forgetting names and misreadings, had a special fascination for Freud, enabling him to extend to normal mental life the discoveries he had first made in connection with neuroses. This book is a comprehensive analysis of such errors and shows a penetrating insight into complex human behaviour, explained in terms readily grasped by the lay mind. This edition supersedes the Brill translation first published in 1914 and reprinted nineteen times. It was commissioned for the Standard Edition of Freud's works published by the Hogarth Press and the Institute of Psychoanalysis. The Brill translation had "modified and substituted some of the author's cases by examples comprehensible to the English-speaking reader." This new version is an exact rendering of the German text, with explanations where linguistic differences occur. It incorporates new material added by Freud to the later German editions and is almost half as long gain as the former English version.
Man's Search for meaning
Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
