DESCRIPTION:

A Journey into Miracles and Self-Liberation

We all go through profound experiences. We all have a story to share. This book begins as a wake-up call to parts of us that have long been asleep and ends as a grand invitation to an adventurous life. All that’s required are some timely reminders and something wonderful to light our way. The BE Book offers us those reminders and that light.

Part autobiography and part hands-on guidebook, it is a collection of inspiring journeys in the different phases of Mynoo’s life. They have been penned down for you to learn the most important lesson: Live life in a way that ‘being’ becomes your state of choice and ‘doing’ just flows flawlessly from there.

The BE Book is a refreshing blast of fresh air!

It was the custom of this household that no crime or misdeed ever went unpunished, and there were no exceptions to this rule. It applied to one and all—human beings, animals, even insects. My uncle showed no mercy, hating the very word, as to him it was the mark of weakness.

What happens when there is an epic battle between cruelty and humaneness and the one caught in the middle is a hapless animal? Lost in the forests of India, a man comes across a bizarre and dangerous ritual—does he flee or does he stay and rescue his fellow travellers? And in the uneven contest between a man with his gun and a panther or tiger, how does man end up winning?

From jungles to battlefields to the frozen Russian countryside, adventure and danger lurk everywhere. Read the awe-inspiring adventures set in these exotic locations in this new collection compiled by Ruskin Bond.

‘About ten yards in front of him, crawling along the floor, was a man’s hand. Eustace stared at it in utter amazement. It was moving quickly in the manner of a geometer caterpillar, the fingers humped up one moment, flattened out the next; the thumb appeared to give a crablike motion all the while. While he was looking, too surprised to stir, the hand disappeared round the corner.’

Terror lurks where you least expect it!

DESCRIPTION:

The Art and science of investment management The behavior investor aims to enrich readers in the most holistic sense of the word, leaving them with tools for compounding both wealth and knowledge. Wealth, truly considered, has at least as much to do with psychological as financial wellbeing. In the behavior investor, psychologist and asset manager Daniel crosby examines the sociological, neurological and psychological factors that influence our investment decisions and sets forth practical solutions for improving both returns and behavior. Readers will be treated to the most comprehensive examination of investor behavior to date and will leave with concrete solutions for refining decision-making processes, increasing self-awareness and constraining the fatal flaws to which most investors are prone. The behavior investor takes a sweeping tour of human nature before arriving at the specifics of portfolio construction, rooted in the belief that it is only as we come to a deep understanding of “why” that we are left with any clue as to “how” we ought to invest.
