Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World [Paperback]

₹150 ₹399
62% off

Deep work is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep Work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep-spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realizing there's a better way.In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.1. Work Deeply2. Embrace Boredom3. Quit Social Media4. Drain the ShallowsA mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work takes the reader on a journey through memorable stories-from Carl Jung building a stone tower in the woods to focus his mind, to a social media pioneer buying a round-trip business class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distraction in the air-and no-nonsense advice, such as the claim that most serious professionals should quit social media and that you should practice being bored. Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.

Dopo aver conseguito la laurea in Economia alla Cass Business School di Londra, Jay Shetty si trova di fronte a un bivio: può intraprendere una sicura carriera nel mondo degli affari oppure seguire un sentiero meno battuto e investigare la profondità di una chiamata interiore. Decidendo per la seconda opzione, pochi mesi dopo è in India in un noto ashram dove decide di diventare un monaco. Lì impara che dare ascolto a quella parte più profonda di noi stessi che spesso ignoriamo è il primo passo per riuscir ad accettare chi intimamente siamo, e che solo così facendo possiamo rendere significative le nostre vite e toccare la felicità. Jay Shetty comprende anche che essere un monaco è fondamentalmente uno stato d'animo e così dopo tre anni dedicati alla ricerca interiore, in pieno accordo con il suo maestro, decide di lasciare il monastero per raccontare al mondo tutta la bellezza di quell'antica sapienza.E in Pensa come un monaco condivide con il lettore le sue intuizioni maturate a partire da quell'esperienza, sottolineando che non è necessario trasferirsi a vivere in un monastero perché la saggezza insegnata dai monaci è sempre accessibile, e una volta che la si sappia accendere è capace di offrire una risposta a molte delle domande che quotidianamente affollano la mente. La magnetica capacità comunicativa di Jay Shetty è formidabile nel rendere attualissima la saggezza e nel farci comprendere che è possibile raggiungere l'agognata armonia con il nostro sé più intimo e dimorare in quel fugace equilibro interiore che sembra altrimenti sempre sfuggirci. Ci sono tre fasi di apprendimento della mentalità del monaco.La prima è il lasciar andare, liberandoci dalle influenze esterne, dagli ostacoli interni e dalle paure che ci bloccano. Potete vederla come una pulizia che farà spazio per la crescita. La seconda fase è la crescita. Ci aiuterà a ripensare la nostra vita in modo da poter prendere le decisioni con intenzione, determinazione e sicurezza. La terza è il dare, volgendoci al mondo al di fuori di noi, espandendo

देवकी - 'जा कर समझाओ-बुझाओ और क्या करोगे। उनसे कहो, भैया, हमारा डोंगा क्यों मझधार में डुबाए देते हो। तुम घर के लड़के हो। तुमसे हमें ऐसी आशा न थी। देखो कहते क्या हैं।'देवकी - 'आखिर क्यों? कोई हरज है?'देवकी ने इस आपत्ति का महत्व नहीं समझा। बोली - 'यह तो कोई बात नहीं आज अगर कमलाप्रसाद मुसलमान हो जाए, तो क्या हम उसके पास आना-जाना छोड़ देंगे? हमसे जहाँ तक हो सकेगा, हम उसे समझाएँगे और उसे सुपथ पर लाने का उपाय करेंगे।'देवकी - 'नहीं, क्षमा कीजिए। इस जाने से न जाना ही अच्छा। मैं ही कल बुलवा लूँगी।'देवकी - 'प्रेमा उन लड़कियों में नहीं कि तुम उसका विवाह जिसके साथ चाहो कर दो। जरा जा कर उसकी दशा देखो तो मालूम हो। जब से यह खबर मिली है, ऐसा मालूम होता है कि देह में प्राण ही नहीं। अकेले छत पर पड़ी हुई रो रही है।''प्रतिज्ञा' उपन्यास विषम परिस्थितियों में घुट घुट कर जी रही भारतीय नारी की विवशताओं और नियति का सजीव चित्रण है। प्रतिज्ञा का नायक विधुर अमृतराय किसी विधवा से शादी करना चाहता है ताकि किसी नवयौवना का जीवन नष्ट न हो। नायिका पूर्णा आश्रयहीन विधवा है; समाज के भूखे भेड़िये उसके संचय को तोड़ना चाहते हैं। उपन्यास में प्रेमचंद ने विधवा समस्या को नए रूप में प्रस्तुत किया है एवं विकल्प भी सुझाया है। यह गोदान के तुरंत बाद की कृति है जिसमें लेखक अपनी शक्तियों के चरमोत्कर्ष पर था।

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

₹200

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.

Mein Kampf (English, Paperback, Hitler Adolf)

Mein Kampf (English, Paperback, Hitler Adolf)

₹200

Alternate cover edition of this book.Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.
