The Men Who Dared celebrates twelve life stories of men who embraced adversities, whose resilience helped them chase their goals without fear, whose success was not just their own, because it impacted and improved the lives of others. Whether it was archaeologist K.K. Muhammed confronting the world's biggest jigsaw puzzle located in the land of dacoits, or activist Jadav Payeng's will for, first, making, and then saving a forest, or Prince Manvendra Singh accepting his queerness and fighting for LGBTQ rights.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skillfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) provides a road map to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery, a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

She holds her listeners by the hand as they heal.

गागर में सागर की तरह इस पुस्तक में हिन्दी के कालजयी कवियों की विशाल काव्य-रचना में से श्रेष्ठतम और प्रतिनिधि काव्य का संकलन विस्तृत विवेचन के साथ प्रस्तुत है। रैदास (1410-1500) भक्ति आंदोलन के बड़े और महत्त्वपूर्ण संत कवि हैं। उनके लेखन की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता अपनी जातीय अस्मिता है। मध्यकाल के सीमित समझे जाने वाले सामाजिक परिवेश में अपनी हैसियत और जाति के प्रति ऐसा अकुंठ स्वाभिमान समूचे भक्ति साहित्य में उन्हें विशिष्ट बनाता है। अपनी निर्गुण भक्ति में रैदास जीव और ब्रह्म को एक मानते हैं। मनुष्य को ईश्वर भक्ति और समता के मार्ग से भटकाने वाली माया की निन्दा उनके यहाँ भी बार-बार मिलती है।

लिखना मेरी आदत नहीं है, लिखना इबादत है।और इबादत ही तो मोहब्बत है... मोहब्बत मुझे चाय-सी लगती है।चाय और मोहब्बत दोनों की तासीर गर्म होती है पर दोनों ही रूह में ताज़गी और ठंडक भरती हैं।

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was a reclusive poet whose only friendships were carried out in correspondence. Despite writing almost 1800 poems in her life, very few were published until after her death. Here, the poems are presented in chronological order in their original form, unaltered by editorial revision, in one volume. It offers a wide-angle view of Dickinson's poetic development, from the clunky rhyme schemes of her youth, through valentines she wrote in the early 1850s, to the gloomy, hell-obsessed writings of her last years.
