We’ve spent the last few years growing further and further away from each other due to lockdowns, quarantines and the crippling fear of a pandemic. Simone Heng’s essential read offers the tools you need to reconnect once again and build authentic and meaningful relationships.
– Vex King, bestselling author of Good Vibes, Good Life
The true antidote to loneliness, this book will teach you the secret to building meaningful relationships and the importance of authentic connections in a lonely world.
Is it possible to have hundreds of followers on social media but still feel isolated? To live in a city of millions of people but find yourself alone? No one really wants to admit it, but the answer is certainly ‘yes’.
So, let’s talk about loneliness. Human connection specialist Simone Heng knows a lot about being lonely. She left an enviable career and social life to move back to her family home to care for her mother. All alone in a house filled with memories but devoid of people, she was faced with the realization that human connection is one of our most essential needs.
There’s a global loneliness epidemic. Every one of us has experienced feeling lonely, even if we don’t realize it. The modern world has changed how we live and the ‘village’ environment with spontaneous connection has been replaced by remote work and contrived relationships. Most importantly, the old stereotypes of what loneliness looks like no longer hold true — in a world where technology has made us more ‘connected’ than ever before, people of all ages are feeling alone.
Simone shares her journey to understanding the value of human connection and explains how to distinguish authentic relationships from fake substitutes. This definitive book on loneliness shows us how to build meaningful relationships with those that matter the most, forge new friendships, and create the genuine connections we all crave.

– Jon Kabat-Zinn
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the constant barrage of information and distractions. This has led to isolation and an increase in mental illness, especially among the younger generation.

The ancient practices of mindfulness and meditation have transformed—readjusting and evolving to suit our times and needs. This book is a masterful blend of contemporary mindfulness and Buddhism and offers sound advice and techniques to practice meditation regularly and cultivate a more peaceful and focused mind.
Calm the Monkey Mind brings the modern mindfulness movement to the fore by sharing accessible and practical ways to deal with common obstacles and reduce stress.

This book is timely and will serve as a tool for all the stakeholders and the public to effectively prevent and manage food allergies.
– Dr Hemalatha R.
With the advent of industrialisation followed by the information revolution, the world has witnessed a complete reshaping of general lifestyle, especially dietary habits. These seismic changes not only encompass the type of food consumed but also the way it’s produced, prepared, and stored, leading to a staggering increase in food allergies on a global scale.
So far, India has remained relatively immune to this epidemic, mainly due to the preservation of traditional food habits, particularly in the non-metropolitan regions. However, as development surges forward and the Western lifestyle is more rapidly adopted, this immunity is gradually waning.
Dr Arif Ahmed, a noted allergist and paediatrician, has taken the lead in raising awareness about the impending crisis of food allergies. In his new book, he tackles this pressing issue head-on and offers invaluable insights into prevention and management strategies to effectively combat food allergies.
All in all, Overcoming Food Allergies is a comprehensive and empowering medical guide as well as a beacon of hope for a vast population in South Asia.

The Patient in Bed Number 12 is a remarkable novel framed as a confession from parent to child, from child to parent. In this profoundly moving exchange, secrets long buried tumble out, mysterious and dreamlike: a grieving mother finds solace in a newspaper photograph; a ghost comes to life in an abandoned fridge; children fill empty jars with the night’s darkness; a young couple plan how to seek permission for their love; and three men with a phone camera turn a family’s world upside down.

From Raj Kamal Jha, India’s ‘novelist of the newsroom,’ comes a searing investigation of the pulse of today’s India: a billion-plus young people, restless and ambitious, trying to shed the burdens of their past—and yet haunted by ghosts of mistrust and hate.
