Transurfing Reality was one of the top non-fiction bestsellers in the world in 2005 and 2006. Unknown till now in the West, the series has sold over 1,300,000 copies in Russia in three years. This translation (by Natasha Micharina) describes a new way of looking at reality, indeed of creating it. It provides a scientific explanation of the laws that help you do this, building up a scientific model, speaking in detail about particular rules to follow and giving important how-to tips, illustrated with examples. The author introduces a system of specific terms, notions, and metaphors, which together make a truly convincing, thought-provoking theory of creating your own life. “You are ruled by circumstances and it will always be like that until you learn how to manage your reality,” says the author. Bringing together the cutting edge of modern science and philosophical teaching, the book's style is popular-scientific, metaphorical and conversational. Books in the series: Reality Transurfing 1: The Space of Variations; Reality Transurfing 2: A Rustle of Morning Stars; Reality Transurfing 3: Forward to the Past; Reality Transurfing 4: Ruling Reality; Reality Transurfing 5: Apples Fall to the Sky

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void,’” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart—and her journal—to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.
Written by a pastor and father who has walked a painful road, Hope When Life Unravels explores the encouraging, upside-down truths of the book of Job, and other key Bible passages, to remind us of the ways God is present in our pain. Why does God allow suffering? And why does God seem to go silent when we're in pain? In Hope When Life Unravels, Dr. Adam Dooley, pastor and host of the daily radio broadcast A Better Way, searches for answers to our biggest questions about suffering as he shares his son Carson's story of battling leukemia. Adam speaks openly about the gut-wrenching struggle his family endured for three years of life-threatening illness and how God met them in their hours of need--even when it wasn't in the ways they wanted. And, along with his own story, Adam takes readers through the story of Job, unpacking insights about God's character, his love, and how we can stay connected to him even during seasons of pain. Both inspiring and comforting, Hope When Life Unravels invites us to draw closer to a God who is often active in our lives in times when we have trouble seeing him the most.

Fear, the most powerful force in our life, is the least understood. Every one of us experiences it. Many arrange their lives to avoid it. Yet nearly every one of us needs to find more fear. Most of us know fear as the unwanted force that drives phobias, anxieties, unhappiness, and inhibits self-actualization. Ironically, fear is the underlying phenomenon that heightens awareness and optimizes physical performance, and can drive ambition, courage, and success. Harnessing fear can heighten emotional intelligence and bring success to every aspect of your life. Neuroscience and current research on how the brain processes and uses fear have torn the lid off the possibilities of human performance; yet most people are not reaching their complete potential because of a psychological roadblock Sweeney calls the Fear Frontier. Identifying your Fear Frontier and addressing it, Sweeney illustrates in these pages, is the path to success, happiness and fulfillment in almost all aspects of your life. He also provides the most effective steps toward rewiring your mind for a healthier longer life based on courage. Fear is Fuel is a practical guide that instructs readers on a unique path toward translating fear into optimal living. By facing fears, and challenging new ones, readers can harness the power of unique motivations to achieve more, experience more, and enjoy more. The path to a fulfilling life is not to avoid fear but to recognize it, understand it, harness it, and unleash its power.
New York Times bestselling author, superstar comedian, and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word in this “hilarious but also heartfelt” (Elle) memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself. The question you’re probably asking yourself right now is: What does Kevin Hart have that a book also has? According to the three people who have seen Kevin Hart and a book in the same room, the answer is clear: A book is compact. Kevin Hart is compact. A book has a spine that holds it together. Kevin Hart has a spine that holds him together. A book has a beginning. Kevin Hart’s life uniquely qualifies him to write this book by also having a beginning. It begins in North Philadelphia. He was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys. The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero. But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, J.K. Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes us on a journey through what his life was, what it is today, and how he’s overcome each challenge to become the man he is today. And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion. He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent. “Hart is an incredibly magnetic storyteller, on the page as he is onstage, and that’s what shines through [in this] genial, entertaining guide to a life in comedy” (Kirkus Reviews).
The title of the book ‘HUT TO CAFÉ’ (An Exciting Journey) speaks about some real-time events we face in our lives at different points of time. With changing times, we change our lifestyle under the pretext of circumstantial compulsion and keeping pace with the modern age. After acquiring a little education and wealth, some start feeling elevated and underestimate the illiterate and poor. Thus, a new class division is created – rich and poor. Birju’s ‘Hut Sadabahar’ is a roadside hay-roofed tea shop in a village. It serves tea and homemade nimki in backed clay cups and green-leaf bowls to the passersby. The Hut symbolizes a simple livelihood, healthy food and drinks in a hygienic environment, and the development of communication skills in the buyer-seller environment. Impressed by the clean environment, the excellent quality of Chahaa and Nimki and the humble behaviour of Birju, Bhola and Champakali, Keshava suggests some business skills. All three learn English in a short period. They only communicate with the visitors in Odia and pretend to be ignorant about any other language. Many customers, unaware of the service providers’ knowledge of English, share their feelings in English in the Hut. After business hours, the three sit to discuss their experience. Bhola records in his notebook and plans to write a book – ‘Voice from the Diary’. Adhering to ethics and honesty doesn’t always help prosper in business. Some strategic moves become necessary for survival. Birju’s prosperity causes heartburn in some businessmen. Dharam Das sets up ‘Quality Foods’ near Sadabahar, intending to divert the customers to his side. The stall provides better seating arrangements and attractive foods like pizza, biryani, sandwiches, chicken rolls, masala tea, and coffee. Banke (the village head) calls a meeting of the Gram Sabha. The villagers decide not to sell milk to outsiders; instead, they use it to sell sweets and other milk products in the town. The new stall needs to find someone from the village to work. It fails. Villagers start door-to-door campaigns highlighting the harmful effects of fast foods provided by the ‘Quality Foods’. Within months, the ‘Quality Foods’ moves out of the village. Time has changed, and so is our lifestyle. Birju sets up ‘Café Evergreen’ with an attractive environment and unique customer-friendly utilities. It has a beautiful combination of simple and modern appliances. The Cafe has a larger space with a tiled roof and the floor. Bushes cut to beautiful shapes, flower pots, and wooden round tables with curved, polished wooden planks for sitting give an attractive look. Limited items like chakuli, puri-alu dum, idli, vada, dosa, peda, chhena gajaa, coffee and chahaa are served in beautiful paper plates and cups. After paying in cash or through a QR code, customers pick up items from the service desk. Sometimes, similar circumstances bring strangers closer. Manju visits the Mahamaya temple. While moving down the stairs, she slips. A tangawala, waiting for passengers, picks her up and takes her to the hut where she lives. The tangawala asks her to raise her leg. Initially, she hesitates, but looking at his appealing face, she agrees. How strange is the situation! One needs help, and the other is ready to offer. The former can’t raise her leg; the latter has difficulty leaning. He asks Manju to lie flat on the bed, sits beside her, rubs some oil, and makes a mild message. She gets some relief. For the first time, Manju finds a stranger to care for her. Both are from an orphanage. At a later stage, a reunion of the family occurs. Manju finds her brother Bhola (the tangawala). Money is no bar to help people in need in distress. We must have a mindset to help others. Visitors sharing tea at Sadabahar get scared seeing a tigress approaching them. Champa tells them that she is Rani – her friend. It won’t harm them. Rani (The tigress) raises her wounded leg. Champa pulls the nail from the paw, crushes some marigold leaves and drops the juice on the injured foot. She bandages it and asks Rani to relax. Birju brings some milk and feeds the cubs. It is unbelievable, but it conveys that we must care for animals and other living beings.
