The 9-to-5 Yogi: How to Feel Like a Sage while Working Like a Dog
by Shubhra KrishanThis compact but comprehensive volume contains easy-to-follow practical tips on how to transform your lifestyle to effectively cope with that dreaded scourge called stress (and its aftereffects) while slogging from 9 to 5 (and beyond)! Frustrated, frazzled and fatigued, Uma, the fictitious-but-very-real heroine of this story (a top-level executive in the corporate world), undergoes a nervous breakdown because she has been deprived of a promotion that should have rightfully been hers as she has worked day and night for it. Her energy levels have hit rock-bottom. Fortunately, a ‘saviour’ comes to her rescue in the nick of time. In the space of a few months, she is transformed from a virtual zombie to a 9-to-5 yogi! How? Nope, she does not move to the Himalayas. Or join Swami-something-Ananda. All she does is make some simple changes to her routine (suggested by a down-to-earth yoga guru along with useful inputs from her ‘saviour’) that work wonders for her even as she maintains her work schedules. Offering substantive information with a light touch, Shubhra Krishan shows how, by starting with a few mild and easy ‘strokes’, anyone can swim away from the whirlpool of chaos towards the shore of good health, mental stability and a tranquil life pattern. The beauty of her thoughtfully chosen insights is that they use simplicity to create simplicity. That’s what someone as time strapped and life-zapped as Uma needs. And Uma could be – you! You will come to know amazing facts such as: How ordinary items of daily use such as milk and milk products, vegetables, fruits and spices possess extraordinary healing powers; how the books you read, the TV programs you watch and the colors of your walls and those of your bed linen can affect your sleep patterns; and how a self-massage can get rid of fatigue and lead to absolute bliss. Here’s wishing you a happy journey towards achieving inner calm, a balanced mind and, above all, a fun-filled life in the future!

The 99th Koala: Rescue and resilience on Kangaroo Island
by Kailas WildIn last summer&’s devastating fires, Kangaroo Island lost half of its koala population, with many more left injured and starving. This is the inspiring and sometimes confronting story of someone who went to help and ended up a koala dad. When Kailas Wild – arborist by trade and conservationist at heart – heard that there were injured koalas on Kangaroo Island who could only be reached by a tree climber, he drove 1500 kms to volunteer. Seven weeks later, he had crowd-funded sixty-five thousand dollars, participated in the rescue of over 100 koalas and had formed a special bond with a baby koala – Joey Kai. His social media postings gained tens of thousands of views and press attention around Australia and overseas, including the BBC, The Times (London), The New York Times and The Daily Mail. The 99th Koala shares that experience, in words and pictures, and introduces us to some of the koalas of Kangaroo Island. Sometimes tragic, sometimes hopeful, Kai&’s story above all commemorates our unique wildlife, and demonstrates the power of one person trying to make a difference. &‘At a time when many people have felt helpless to act against the immensity of the fires or the threat of climate change, Kai's daily descriptions and videos of saving helpless animals have been a welcome dose of personal courage and deep humanity.&’ ABC
