Book Description
'My life was hard, and I had no love. That is what I always longed for so much, love-the real heartfelt kind of love, with hugs and kisses. So a lot of the time I daydreamed and pretended. I was the great pretender long before the song came out! As I sit here, my mind wanders back in time...' Come along on the journey as Frankie Oberlechner shares the tale of Charlea, a woman whose life was never easy, often terrible, but always blessed with joyous moments and God's protection. Charlea is looking back on her life and noticing something important-God has always been there for her. As a child, she found herself needing to act like a grown-up. Her mama and daddy were always drinking away the money. She had to act like a mother for her sister's children when she was only a child herself. Her daddy was abusive, threatening their very lives at times. But Charlea had her grandmother, whose home was a safe haven where she learned about God's love. There life was easier...until her grandmother passed away. Then it seemed as though Charlea would never find the light again. True friends were hard to come by, until she met Lin and June. Soon after she met Ben, they married, despite the fact that no one liked him. She thought life would be different, but Ben proved to be much like her daddy-an abusive alcoholic. As Charlea grew into a woman, she had many ups and downs. Charlea was caught in a terrible web-but then she was reintroduced to God, and things began to change. Join Charlea as she discovers the love she has always longed for and that Life Is Built around If.

Book Description
In the spring of 2010, Harvard Business School’s graduating class asked HBS professor Clay Christensen to address them—but not on how to apply his principles and thinking to their post-HBS careers. The students wanted to know how to apply his wisdom to their personal lives. He shared with them a set of guidelines that have helped him find meaning in his own life, which led to this now-classic article. Although Christensen’s thinking is rooted in his deep religious faith, these are strategies anyone can use. Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough ideas in management practice. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers you the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world.

Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

Book Description
Over the past seven years I've lived in more places than I can remember. I lived and worked in Shanghai, New York, Berlin, Bangkok, Munich and a few more places, not including the dozens of places I've stayed at for just a few days or weeks.While writing these lines I'm in a small town in Malaysia.I've basically lived out of a backpack for the past seven years. And the longer I'm doing this, the less stuff I need. Right now I carry less than 10 items around with me in a carry on backpack that weighs less than 10kg. I go wherever I want to go. I currently spend less than $800 a month. Including everything. My most precious possession is a $300 Acer laptop.I've started a clothing company in China, for the Chinese market, which failed miserably. I've launched more than 10 websites, some of them made some money, some of them didn't. I shut down all of them. I've written seven books (this is my eighth). None of them was a bestseller. I write a blog where I published more than 500 articles so far. I've more than 100,000 monthly readers spread across multiple platforms.I'm by no means successful. Or rich. But I have more than enough, by all means. I have access to everything I need. And I can buy and afford everything I need.I'm not a minimalist. Or a digital nomad. Or an entrepreneur. Or a blogger. Or an author.I'm mostly trying to just be myself. I'm trying to be myself in a world where it gets harder and harder every single day to just be yourself.It's not always been easy. As a matter of fact it's probably been hard more often than it's been easy. But every day of struggle and doubt has been worth it. Being yourself and creating your own life instead of just living a life is always worth the struggle.This right here is my story. This is what I've learned about life, myself and the world around me.I'm everywhere and nowhere. And I own nothing and everything...

Book Description
“To be someone—to be anyone—is about...not being someone else. Miller’s amused and inspired book is utterly compelling.” —Adam Phillips “A compendium of expressions of wonder over what might have been...Swept up in our real lives, we quickly forget about the unreal ones. Still, there will be moments when, for good or ill, we feel confronted by our unrealized possibilities.” —New Yorker We live one life, formed by paths taken and untaken. Choosing a job, getting married, deciding on a place to live or whether to have children—every decision precludes another. But what if you’d gone the other way? From Robert Frost to Sharon Olds, Virginia Woolf to Ian McEwan, Jane Hirshfield to Carl Dennis, storytellers of every stripe consider the roads not taken, the lives we haven’t led. What is it that compels us to identify with fictional and poetic voices tantalizing us with the shadows of what might have been? Not only poets and novelists, but psychologists and philosophers have much to say on this question. Miller finds wisdom in all of these, revealing the beauty, the allure, and the danger of sustaining or confronting our unled lives. “Miller is charming company, both humanly and intellectually. He is onto something: the theme of unled lives, and the fascinating idea that fiction intensifies the sense of provisionality that attends all lives. An extremely attractive book.” —James Wood “An expertly curated tour of regret and envy in literature...Miller’s insightful and moving book—both in his own discussion and in the tales he recounts—gently nudges us toward consolation.” —Wall Street Journal “I wish I had written this book...Examining art’s capacity to transfix, multiply, and compress, this book is itself a work of art.” —Times Higher Education

Book Description
This volume combines three best-selling books—The Invading Force, A Call to Action, and Run to the Battle—in their original form but updated for today’s reader. The prophetic message they bring is just as powerful and relevant today as it was when author Roberts Liardon first spoke it. “When you invade, do not have second thoughts and retreat—just invade. You are in it to the death—not your death, but the devil’s death! Your attitude needs to be, I am going to win, or I am going to die fighting.” The Holy Spirit is bringing revival to the church, and the church is rising up in a fresh anointing, a holy faith, and a Spirit-led zeal to win the lost as never before. If you are a believer who is serious about fulfilling God’s call on your life and taking this world for Jesus Christ, the truths in this new edition will transform you into a powerful soldier in God’s army. These three books in one provide the vital information and wisdom you need to hear God’s voice and Run to the Battle!

Book Description
Awakening: An Introduction to the History of Eastern Thought provides the reader with a thorough and valuable overview of the historical development of the major Eastern religious and philosophical traditions, primarily in India, China, and Japan. The book is written in an engaging style that contains a variety of anecdotes, analogies, definitions, and supporting quotes from primary and secondary sources. Awakening helps the reader to recognize the interrelationships that exist among the various traditions, to appreciate the relevance of these traditions to the concerns of modern times, and to understand the major issues of interpretation regarding these traditions. The primary focus of Awakening is Hinduism and Buddhism, and they serve as the broad umbrellas that include a number of specific schools, each of which is treated individually. Other schools–such as Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto–are included at the appropriate place. Awakening is for all students and interested readers, whether new to the study of Eastern thought or not.

Book Description
Does constant living together bring terrible monotony to life? Do you feel marriage is a sort of silent imprisonment or tremendous encroachment on one’s privacy? Does marriage inherently carry a micro level atrocity in a couple’s relationship? Do the men folk have a natural weakness to be attracted towards beautiful women? Does a man know about innate needs of a woman’s heart? What is happiness in marriage? Can it be measured? Do small matters and petty grievances tilt the scale of life in its favour when weighed against surreal and larger happiness? Does the very existence of human race have only two faces: One Adam and one Eve? Is our Indian ideology of a commitment lasting through births and rebirths relevant in present time? This novel written in the form of a diary gently deals with the subject of intricacies of married life, evaluates and analyses the subject of expectations of a man and a woman, elaborates the fineness of female sensitivity and tests the instinctive human expectations on the anvil of time without being partisan of either sex.The geographical surroundings and its unification with the sentimental inner world of Parnavi make the expressions poignant.The most impressive facet of this novel is the incorporation of the life and thinking of different cultures. The author takes the characters from a modern city like Paris to the distant villages of Val Badia with its aboriginal culture and society, thereby giving it a perspective of very modern concept of ‘Multi-culturalism’ to the novel.The ease of language for the author is innate. Lucidity and charm have blended naturally.
