The Rocket Science Called Love is a tale of endless encounters of love and dreams, inspired by enigmatic true stories. Meet Nayantara, a mysterious lover. Leaving behind her city and her sacred Beloved, she journeys to the middle of nowhere to root her only dream and show up as a renowned psychotherapist; her unconventional methods spreading all around the world. The power that led her to take this step was ‘Love’ itself and her Beloved. But what if the only power you have within exits? What if the only dream you live, you’ve got to put to sleep? Daunted by her fears of being the worst example of the best therapist, Nayantara puts an end to her dream for the sake of love, and heads home – only to die. In between love and loss, Nayantara lives this period of ‘warrior-hood’ – that which all of us live at least once in our life-time. A warrior isn’t just a survivor of life, but a survivor of love. Immersed in the deep ancient wisdom and the 12 Inner Assignments of Love, with this debut novel by Sonia Mackwani, you will be rocketed into your own mystical shamanic journeys, preparing you to heal your own inner wounds and to love more humanely. If love cannot be the destiny, it certainly can show us one. Love; both the substance & the remedy! -Sonia Mackwani

* One of Inc.com's "6 Books You Need to Read in 2020 (According to Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, and Adam Grant)"* Adam Grant's # 1 pick of his top 20 books of 2020* One of 6 Groundbreaking Books of Spring 2020 (according to Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Dan Pink, and Adam Grant). A former rocket scientist reveals the habits, ideas, and strategies that will empower you to turn the seemingly impossible into the possible. Rocket science is often celebrated as the ultimate triumph of technology. But it's not. Rather, it's the apex of a certain thought process -- a way to imagine the unimaginable and solve the unsolvable. It's the same thought process that enabled Neil Armstrong to take his giant leap for mankind, that allows spacecraft to travel millions of miles through outer space and land on a precise spot, and that brings us closer to colonizing other planets. Fortunately, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to think like one. In this accessible and practical book, Ozan Varol reveals nine simple strategies from rocket science that you can use to make your own giant leaps in work and life -- whether it's landing your dream job, accelerating your business, learning a new skill, or creating the next breakthrough product. Today, thinking like a rocket scientist is a necessity. We all encounter complex and unfamiliar problems in our lives. Those who can tackle these problems -- without clear guidelines and with the clock ticking -- enjoy an extraordinary advantage. Think Like a Rocket Scientist will inspire you to take your own moonshot and enable you to achieve liftoff.

The Top Ten Bestseller Black holes. DNA. The Large Hadron Collider. Ever had that sneaking feeling that you are missing out on some truly spectacular science? You do? Well, fear not, for help is at hand. Ben Miller was working on his Physics PhD at Cambridge when he accidentally became a comedian. But first love runs deep, and he has returned to his roots to share with you all his favourite bits of science. This is the stuff you really need to know, not only because it matters but because it will quite simply amaze and delight you. 'Let me show you another, perhaps less familiar side of Science; her beauty, her seductiveness and her passion. And let's do it quickly, while Maths isn't looking' - Ben Miller 'This book makes climate change actually seem interesting. Not just important - it's obviously important - but interesting. As a result I bought lots of other books about climate change, something I now regret' - David Mitchell Ben Miller is, like you, a mutant ape living through an Ice Age on a ball of molten iron, orbiting a supermassive black hole. He is also an actor, comedian and approximately one half of Armstrong & Miller. He's presented a BBC Horizon documentary on temperature and a Radio 4 series about the history of particle physics, and has written a science column for The Times. He is slowly coming to terms with the idea that he may never be an astronaut.

It is very simple! The inhabitants of the earth must band together to change course immediately or the world will plunge into the most terrifying, catastrophic, destruction, the likes of which there is no coming back from. There is only one door of opportunity for the world, and if we as a planet do not walk through it immediately, we are all doomed to suffer a terrible fate. Revelation 6 may be upon us, but would God grant us a stay of preparation for the horrors to come? A watchman, civil rights activist, self taught section 1983 and Constitutional scholar for over 25 years, and a self taught biblical scholar for 34 years, in this book, WLBJ reminds us of Ephesians 6:12, that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and powers of darkness. With stunning imagery, The Republicrat goes into great detail to explain why these demonic powers not only want, but need the earth to be plunged into nuclear war in order to get the key to the abyss, and why competing world powers must avoid taking the bait and being used to facilitate this. Tackling some of today's most explosive geopolitical topics, such as the latest alleged coup attempt by the Wagner group, the Russian/Ukraine conflict, the Mexican Drug Cartel, the LGBT debate, North Korea, China, and the bitter divide between Republicans and Democrats, WLBJ uses what he coins, "Biblical Geopolitical Analysis," to discuss why we are fighting the wrong enemy, as he attempts to break the spell of witchcraft that plots the whole world against itself. See what it will take to avoid the horrors at the world's doorstep, and why making the right choices could not only avoid the darkest of world catastrophes, but instead, usher in the greatest time of peace and prosperity the world has ever known.

Meru, an orphaned zari weaver from a small town, meets her childhood friend Zaitoon, after a decade. They spend days together at Zaitoon's new home, inherited from her Sufi grandfather – Ibne-Al- Rashid. Then serendipity strikes. They stumble upon his mystical journal that astoundingly changes the course of both their lives. 365 Days of a Sufi, the journal, is a compilation of Rashid's life adventures and the sacred revelations that came to him in his final days. He writes intensely about his encounters with two Sufi dervishes; one serving a Sufi apprenticeship, the other yearning to set out on a quest to find his purpose. Their connection, their sacred friendship and their love for the search, transforms Rashid’s whole relationship with himself. The Sufi’s enlightening journal leads the two young girls, poised on the threshold of womanhood and life, to reflect on the meaning and mystery of human existence, relationships and the law of reciprocity. They are inspired to explore the magical alchemy of more love, more freedom and more dreams. And to thereby find their own paths. This wonderfully poignant story lives on in the reader’s mind like an unforgettable fragrance, long after the last page has been turned, inspiring one’s own journey of self-discovery.

This book tells stories of just how powerful social work can be. At its heart are stories drawn from frontline practice, ranging from first interviews through to complex decision-making. Along the way, we meet the social worker who assessed a cat (though for all the right reasons). We witness the cost of failing to protect the rights of adults, exemplified in the tragic death of Connor Sparrowhawk. We also see the transformations that can happen when social workers really get it right - as in the case of Peter, whose love of balloons led them to feature in his care plan. These stories from practice are combined with guidance and reflective exercises to offer valuable practice wisdom and learning for new and experienced social workers alike. By turns funny, wise and moving, this book articulates the personal and professional qualities needed to practise rights-based social work. It reveals the potential of the profession to make a difference to the lives of individuals and to communities.

A searing literary memoir of a disconnected childhood, a multigenerational upbringing and incest— from the daughter of legendary jazz pianist Stan Kenton Leslie Kenton was the only child of Violet, a stunning Hitchcock blonde, and the legendary jazz giant Stan Kenton. The story takes place on the road in 1950s America and in the mania of Hollywood—a world of jazz clubs, dance halls and onenighters, where lives were lived on a razor's edge. Love Affair takes us beyond the bright lights and glamour into an intense, claustrophobic world of a father and the only child of his troubled marriage. As Stanley grapples with alcohol and his personal demons, gradually his actions threaten to destroy the only real, untainted thing in his life: Leslie. A true story of obsession, tragedy and grace, Love Affair is Leslie Kenton's powerful memoir. At its heart is the complex, ultimately incestuous, relationship with her father–a union so powerful it defines all that came after. As their lives become increasingly entangled, so do the forces of darkness and light that exist within us all, leading to destruction for him and heartbreaking redemption for her. There have been memoirs about incest before, but Love Affair is a surprisingly moving and elegant treatment of a young life, shared passion, and boundaries crossed.
