Pain

No human is unacquainted with the concept of pain. It is an inescapable universal experience. Shweta Kirti’s pain has been, unfortunately, very public because of the death of her thirty-four-year-old brother, the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

What she learnt, however, is that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. It is pain that can teach us how to rise above suffering and the limits we create for ourselves with our attachment to material goals like money, fame, success and relationships. In this book, Shweta shares her learnings so that no one is alone on this hard but necessary odyssey.

Synthesizing science, spirituality and philosophy, Pain: A Portal to Enlightenment is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey to find inner peace and fulfilment no matter what life throws at you.

The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER TO HELP YOU OVERCOME ANXIETY AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT, EFFECTIVE, AND FULFILLED

In her global phenomenon The 5 Second Rule, Mel Robbins taught millions the five second secret to motivation. Now she’s back with another simple, proven science-backed tool you can use to take control of your life: The High 5 Habit.

Don’t let the title fool you. This isn’t a book about high fiving everyone else in your life. You’re already doing that. Cheering for your favorite teams. Celebrating your friends. Supporting the people you love as they go after what they want in life.

You’d be unstoppable.

In this encouraging book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

If you are:
• Struggling with self-doubt (and who doesn’t?) …
• Tired of that nagging critic in your head (could somebody evict them already?) …
• Successful but all you focus on is what’s going wrong (you’re not alone) …
• Sick of watching everybody else get ahead while you sit on the couch with your dog (don’t bring your dog into this) …

…Mel dedicates this book to you.

Chapters Include:
You Deserve a High 5 Life
Science Says This Works
I Have a Few Questions…
Why Do I Torture Myself?
Am I Broken?
Where’s All This Negative Crap Coming From?
Why Am I Suddenly Seeing Hearts Everywhere?
Why Is Life So Easy for Them and Not Me?
Isn’t It Easier If I Say Nothing?
How About I Start . . . Tomorrow?
But Do You Like Me?
How Come I Screw Everything Up?
Can I Actually Handle This?
Okay, You May Not Want to Read This Chapter
Eventually, It Will All Make Sense

It’s time to give yourself the high fives, celebration, and support you deserve.

With this book, you’ll learn how to:
• Use the High 5 Habit to overcome negative self-talk and limiting beliefs
• Create a clear vision for your life and set goals that align with your values
• Take consistent action towards your goals, even when you don’t feel like it
• Develop a mindset of resilience and perseverance
• Achieve more success and happiness in all areas of your life

“When I stopped trashing myself and started giving my reflection a high five instead, it was more than an encouraging gesture on a low day. It flipped that self-criticism and self-hatred on its head. It changed the lens through which I viewed my life.

That was the beginning of a massive shift in my life. A line in the sand.
The beginning of a brand-new connection to the most important person in my life—myself.

A new way of thinking about myself and about what was possible for me. It inspired me to create an entirely new way of experiencing life.
That’s why I wrote this book.

It’s time to cheer for YOU.”

Love,
Mel Robbins

Walking Home: A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed

Life was falling apart. Within the space of three years, Sonia Choquette had suffered the unexpected death of two close family members, seen her marriage implode, and been let down by trusted colleagues. And sympathy was not forthcoming. “You’re a world-renowned spiritual teacher and intuitive guide,” people jeered. “How could you not have seen this coming?” Having intuitive abilities didn’t make her superhuman, however. Nor did it exempt her from being wounded or suffering the pain of loss and the consequences of our all-too-human traits such as anger, resentment, and pride—traits that can lead even the best of us to stray from our spiritual path. In order to regain her spiritual footing, Sonia turned to the age-old practice of pilgrimage and set out to walk the legendary Camino de Santiago, an 820-kilometer trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain. Day after day she pushed through hunger, exhaustion, and pain to reach her destination. Eventually, mortification of the flesh gave way to spiritual renewal, and she rediscovered the gifts of humility and forgiveness that she needed to repair her world. In this riveting book, Sonia shares the intimate details of her grueling experience, as well as the unexpected moments of grace, humor, beauty, and companionship that supported her through her darkest hours. While her journey is unique, the lessons she learned—about honoring your relationships with others as well as with your own higher self, and forgiving all else—are universal.

The Comfort Zone: Create a Life You Really Love with Less Stress and More Flow

Your comfort zone is NOT the danger zone! This paradigm-shifting guide shows you how to harness the power of joy, creativity, and ease to create the foundation for building your best life.

Get ready to forget everything you’ve ever been told about the “comfort zone.” It’s not a place where you sit complacently because you can’t be bothered to take action. It’s not a barrier blocking you from the life of your dreams. Instead, it’s the truest source of growth, possibility, and joy—and it’s within your reach with help from an expert guide.

As the founder and CEO of The Power of Positivity, an online community with more than 50 million followers worldwide, Kristen Butler has spent over a decade examining the elements of a life well lived and the paths that get us there. Her book blows the lid off the idea that anxiety and stress are necessary ingredients for success—and shows you how a state of ease instead of constant effort holds the key to unlocking your full potential.

In thoughtful lessons, exercises, and personal stories, you’ll discover:

• The Three Zones of Living—Complacent, Survival, and Comfort—and what determines which one you are living in right now
• The Create from Comfort Process—including clearing a safe internal space as a foundation for self-expression and joy, defining the expanded life you wish to live, and acclimating to even your wildest desires in ways that are natural and easy
• Relationship Tools—including maneuvering luminary and gloominary relationships, turning competitors into compellers, and defining clear boundaries
• Mindset Tools (that really work!)—including examining and replacing limiting beliefs, using mantras, affirmations, and power stances to create internal balance, entering the flow state at will, and developing empowering mental habits
• And much more

“You will never achieve success faster and with less effort than when you are in your Comfort Zone,” Kristen writes. “By living inside of my Comfort Zone, I’ve achieved more success than I thought was possible, and I’ve done it without feeling overworked or compromising who I am. Now it’s your turn.”

Divorce is Normal

A divorce rate of around 1 per cent is often boasted about with pride in this country, without much critical thought spared for what it actually means. When Shasvathi Siva decided to end her marriage, she realized exactly how difficult getting a divorce was in our society and legal system. Since then, she has been working towards ensuring that others have it easier, and this book is an endeavour to share her learnings with great empathy and sagacity. Divorce Is Normal is an invaluable companion for anyone contemplating separation and divorce, and a necessary reminder for everyone else that divorce is normal. Through her story, Siva brings to readers fresh insights on unhappy marriages and divorce in the Indian context, helping expand perspectives so that people can overcome societal stigma and accept a brighter, happier future. Filled with practical tips, comforting stories and endless compassion shaped by a lived experience, this book acts like a warm hug and a stern friend all at once.
