Main Samay Hoon: मैं समय हूँ
by Deep Trivedi‘मैं समय हूँ’ यह पुस्तक बेस्टसेलर्स ‘मैं मन हूँ’, ‘मैं कृष्ण हूँ’ और ‘101 सदाबहार कहानियां’ के लेखक तथा स्पीरिच्युअल सायको-डाइनैमिक्स के पायनियर दीप त्रिवेदी ने लिखी है। मनुष्यजीवन को गहराई से समझने और समझाने वाले दीप त्रिवेदी ने विश्व की अंतिम और निर्णायक सत्ता समय के रहस्यों का अपनी किताब ‘मैं समय हूँ’ में रहस्योद्घाटन किया है। इस किताब में दीप त्रिवेदी ने घड़ी की सूइयों से परे समय के कई स्वरूपों का खुलासा किया है। यही नहीं, उन्होंने न सिर्फ इन सभी स्वरूपों की विस्तार से चर्चा की है, बल्कि उनके प्रभावों को भी समझाया है। इस किताब की सबसे विशेष बात यह कि लेखक ने इसमें इतनी सरल भाषा का उपयोग किया है जिससे कि एक सामान्य मनुष्य भी समय जैसी महासत्ता की पूरी कार्यप्रणाली आसानी से समझ सके। इस किताब में यह स्पष्ट होता है कि एक समय ही है जिस कारण न सिर्फ मनुष्य बल्कि यह पूरा ब्रह्मांड भी चलायमान है तथा मनुष्य के जीवन में घटने वाली तमाम ऊंच-नीच भी समय के ही अधीन है। अतः चाहे मनुष्यजीवन सरल बनाना हो या फिर ब्रह्मांड के गहरे रहस्य समझने हों, समय के गहरे स्वरूपों को समझे बिना इनमें से कुछ भी शक्य नहीं है। इसीलिए इस बात पर विशेष ध्यान देते हुए लेखक ने मनुष्यों को उनका बिगड़ा समय संवारने के कई सरल उपाय भी दिये हैं। यह बात तय है कि जो भी समय की ताल-से-ताल मिला लेगा, एक सुखी और सफल जीवन गुजारना उसका भाग्य हो जाएगा।

by Victoria Moran Adair MoranHollywood celebrities are doing it. Corporate moguls are doing it. But what about those of us living in the real world—and on a real budget? Author and holistic health practitioner Victoria Moran started eating only plants nearly thirty years ago, raised her daughter, Adair, vegan from birth, and maintains a sixty-pound weight loss. In Main Street Vegan, Moran offers a complete guide to making this dietary and lifestyle shift with an emphasis on practical "baby steps," proving that you don’t have to have a personal chef or lifestyle coach on speed dial to experience the physical and spiritual benefits of being a vegan. This book provides practical advice and inspiration for everyone—from Main Street to Wall Street, and everywhere between. "Finally, a book that isn't preaching to the vegan choir, but to the people in the pews—and the ones who can’t fit in those pews. This is a book for the Main Street majority who aren’t vegans. Once you read this, you'll know it's possible to get healthy and enjoy doing it—even if you live in Paramus or Peoria. "—Michael Moore "A great read for vegans and aspiring vegans. "—Russell Simmons "Yet another divine gift from Victoria Moran. Main Street Vegan covers it all—inspiration, information, and out of this world recipes. This book is a gem.

If you can't figure out what is holding you back, this book will help you realize that you are holding yourselfback.

Make Better Strategic Decisions: How to Develop Robust Decision-making to Avoid Organisational Disasters
by Jeremy N. WhiteEvery day we hear of serious errors of judgement that result in organisational disaster. Why do seemingly successful businesses, NGOs, or even political parties fall prey to irrevocable governance breakdowns or, worse still, criminal malpractice? By prompting readers to think deeply about strategic decision-making, human behaviour, and cognitive biases, this book offers a disciplined, objective, and thoughtful approach to making better decisions. Every strategic problem is fundamentally a journey into the unknown, which involves a unique combination of duration, scale, external and internal dynamics, and personal motivations. Rarely is a strategic decision solved by saying, ‘If a situation is A, then the solution is B.’ The book explores how to develop a strong foundation for problem resolving – rather than simplistic problem-solving – by strengthening competence so that decisions are made wisely. The case of Carillion plc, the second-largest construction group in the United Kingdom that went bankrupt in January 2018, is used to explore how a large and profitable company collapsed so dramatically when it was run by an experienced board and advised by three of the Big Four accounting firms. Professor Jeremy N. White presents a clear strategic toolkit for better strategic decision-making. This book will appeal to senior managers who are interested in techniques for making better strategic decisions. The lessons from the failure of Carillion plc are applicable to corporate leaders in addition to politicians and those who run not-for-profit organisations.
