Now in paperback: a hopeful and approachable book from the creator of @HealingFromPTSD, the largest trauma healing community on Instagram, in which each chapter is inspired by the top-performing posts from the page.
Madeline Popelka is a trauma survivor who knows firsthand how some survivors can feel like they’ve lost themselves to trauma, and that it might seem impossible to find the upside of a devastating experience. After Madeline was diagnosed with PTSD and began to heal, she felt a need to create a space where other trauma survivors wouldn’t feel so isolated. She then founded @HealingFromPTSD, which has grown into the largest trauma healing community on Instagram.
In this hopeful and empowering book, there are 16 chapters, each reflecting a lesson or insight that Madeline gained along her healing journey. Among them:
• Trauma Doesn’t Have an Expiration Date
• Your Emotions Are Your Allies
• You Weren’t Meant to Heal Alone
• Hold Space for the Goodness
• Embrace the Ongoing Process
Writes Madeline, “I’m sharing the 16 key lessons that I wish I learned sooner, and the insights I gained that shifted my perspective and reduced my shame, with the hopes that they will do the same for you. I’m sharing what I needed to hear when I didn’t get the encouragement I wanted from my friends, family, or therapist. I’m sharing the thoughts that brought me comfort and peace when I was feeling isolated, and I hope that by sharing my story, you feel less alone and are inspired to take your healing into your own hands.” In You’re Going to Be Okay, you’ll learn that healing is a lifelong journey, and while it can be messy and uncomfortable, there are gifts to be found along the way.
Now in paperback! “This powerful healing work is something that’s missing in the world of mental and physical health today and is a light for others to find themselves and create new references and meaningful experiences that can be channelled to overcome any obstacle and succeed beyond their wildest dreams.” — Anthony William, The Medical Medium, # 1 New York Times best-selling author
Manifestation requires staying in alignment with your best intentions and highest good; and many of the secrets to manifesting a beautiful life revolve around managing the defeating thoughts, feelings, and actions that throw you out of alignment. Noted manifestation expert Mandy Morris shares the eight powerful manifestation techniques she has developed based on divine guidance, scientific research, and a decade of work. They are fast, effective, and proven. These tools of the most highly effective manifesters include:
• Infusing the manifestation process with self-love to help you work through your past, set positive intentions, and create a high vibration for manifestation goals to come true
• Detangling dense energy (which impacts the neurological pathways) by understanding why what we want doesn’t show up, so we can set a clear path of creation (think of an unpaved road with potholes versus a smooth drive to your destination)
• Creating ways to energetically check in with yourself
• Managing your psychological triggers with “pattern interrupts”
• Examining the rules you live by and being brave enough to rewrite them

Looking back on 50 years of the Usha Stud Farm.
Grit, Grace and Glory: The Usha Story celebrates the vision, resolve, and farsightedness of India’s top horse breeders Pradeep Mehra and his daughter Ameeta, through rare photographs and an eloquent, heartwarming narrative. The book also dives into the technical profiles and detailed statistics of horses that made, and continue to make, Usha the leading stud farm in India today.
The book is an intimate exploration of Pradeep Mehra’s struggles as a “backyard breeder” with no assets other than an eye for, and understanding of, horses. It captures the turmoil of his tragic passing and the challenges Ameeta overcame as she gathered the reins, and took forward his dream.

‘शाळा-महाविद्यालयांमध्ये पैशांविषयी चर्चा का केली जात नाही? आई-वडील मुलांना पैशांविषयी काहीच का शिकवत नाहीत? पैशांविषयी जे काही समजतं ते अनेक ठिकाणी ठेचकाळत, धक्के खातच का शिकावं लागतं? या सगळ्या गोष्टी बदलल्याच पाहिजेत. ‘मेक एपिक मनी’ या माझ्या पुस्तकातून तुम्हाला या सगळ्या गोष्टी समजतील. मी स्वतः ज्या गोष्टी खूप उशिरा अतिशय मुश्किलीनं शिकलो, त्या सगळ्या गोष्टी या पुस्तकातून लाखो-कोट्यवधी वाचकांना शिकवण्याची माझी इच्छा आहे. ’ – अंकुर वारिकू

भारताच्या प्रगतीची वाटचाल कोणत्या दिशेने होत आहे? इंग्लंडला मागे टाकून भारताची अर्थव्यवस्था जगातील पाचव्या क्रमांकावर जाऊन पोचली आहे याचा अर्थ भारताची प्रगती होत आहे असा होतो का? का लक्षावधी बेरोजगारांना रोजगार पुरवण्यास आलेल्या अपयशामुळे अर्थव्यवस्थेची पीछेहाट होत आहे? उज्वल भवितव्यासाठी आपण काय केलं पाहिजे?
भारत आज एका चौरस्त्यावर येऊन पोचला आहे. भारताच्या आर्थिक वाढीचा दर कित्येक मोठ्या देशांच्या तुलनेत जास्त असला तरी आपल्या बेरोजगार तरूणांना नोकऱ्या देण्यासाठी तो खूपच कमी आहे. कमी कौशल्याच्या वस्तूनिर्माण क्षेत्रातील तीव्र स्पर्धा, आपल्याच देशात वस्तूनिर्मिती करण्याकडे, संरक्षणवादाकडे झुकत चाललेला जागतिक कल, आणि वाढते स्वयंचलितीकरण यामुळे परिस्थिती अधिक गंभीर झालेली आहे. समाजात फूट पाडणाऱ्या बहुसंख्यांकांच्या तुष्टीकरणातून काहीच साधले जाणार नाही. आजवर आर्थिक विकासाची वाटचाल कृषी क्षेत्राकडून कमी कौशल्याचे वस्तूनिर्माण, त्यानंतर उच्चकौशल्याधारित वस्तूनिर्माण आणि सेवा क्षेत्र अशी होत आलेली आहे. विकासाच्या राजमार्गावरील मधल्या पायरीवरून उडी मारून आपण केल्हाच पुढे आलो आहोत. असं असताना परत मधली पायरी गाठण्यासाठी उलट फिरण्याऐवजी आपण आपला स्वतःचा भारतीय मार्ग शोधून काढला पाहिजे. मानवी भांडवलात गुंतवणूक करून, सेवा आणि वस्तूनिर्माण क्षेत्रातील उच्च कौशल्याधारित संधींचा विस्तार करून, नवी उत्पादने आणि नव्या कल्पनांना पोषक वातावरणात आर्थिक विकासाचा वेग कसा वाढवता येईल ते या पुस्तकात लेखकद्वयांनी समजावून सांगितलं आहे. भारताच्या लोकशाही परंपरांनां लोकशाही संस्थांचे सबलीकरण आणि विकेंद्रीकरणाचा विस्तार यासारख्या सुशासनातील सुधारणांची जोड मिळाल्यास विकासाच्या मार्गावरील वाटचाल सोपी होईल. ज्या ठिकाणी भारताला यश मिळाले आहे त्याचे लेखकद्वयाने खुल्या मनाने कौतूक केलं आहे तसेच त्यांनी त्यातील दोषही परखडपणे दाखवले आहेत. त्यांनी भूतकाळाला जखढून ठेवणाऱ्या शृंखला तोडून येणाऱ्या भावी काळातील शक्यतांकडे खुल्या दिलाने पाहण्याचे आवाहन केलं आहे. जागोजागी दिलेल्या समर्पक उदाहरणांनी आणि बिनतोड युक्तिवादांनी शेवटच्या पानापर्यंत वाचनीय झालेले, भारताच्या भविष्याविषयी आस्था असलेल्या सर्वांनी वाचलेच पाहिजे असे पुस्तक.
In Iconoclast, Dr Anand Teltumbde, a distinguished public intellectual and leading authority on the Dalit movement, presents a groundbreaking biography of Dr B.R. Ambedkar. Far from the embellished narratives often associated with his legacy, Teltumbde strips away the layers of myth and hyperbole to reveal the man behind the legend.
With meticulous research and intellectual honesty, Teltumbde delves into the life of Ambedkar, situating him within the dynamic context of his time. He explores the complexities of Ambedkar’s persona, offering a nuanced portrait that challenges conventional perceptions. Rich with poignant photographs, this biography paints a vivid picture of Ambedkar as a visionary and as a human, and above all as an iconoclast driven by a relentless pursuit of social justice and equality. From his tireless advocacy for the Dalit community to his visionary ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity, Ambedkar’s legacy reverberates through the ages, inspiring generations to strive for a more just society.
With incisive analysis and a deep understanding of Ambedkar’s philosophy, Teltumbde extends the narrative beyond the confines of history, examining Ambedkar’s enduring impact on contemporary India. Iconoclast is a masterful tribute to a towering figure in modern history, offering profound insights into the epic struggle for social emancipation and the quest for a truly inclusive society.
At the start of his career as sub-collector of Parvathipuram subdivision in north-coastal Andhra Pradesh way back in 1974, Subbarao learnt—the hard way—that tribal development requires more than enthusiasm;
it requires, most of all, an understanding of poverty.
Nearly forty years later, in 2013, as the governor of the Reserve Bank of India in the midst of a fierce exchange rate crisis, Subbarao learnt—once again the hard way—the harsh challenges of emerging economies in an unequal world.
Bookended by these assignments is the remarkable journey of a small-town boy from a modest background to the top echelons of India’s civil service and then on to the helm of the country’s central bank. Subbarao recounts that journey—his hopes and despair, his successes and setbacks, his mistakes and
misdeeds, and the lessons he learnt along the way—with rare candour and honesty. The subtext of that story though is his constant soul-searching about whether he has given back to society more than he received.
Just a Mercenary? is a warm, engaging and earnest account of an extraordinary career that is bound to inform and inspire young professionals trying to find their way up the career ladder and discover meaning in their journeys.
