IN HER SECOND COLLECTION of prose, Brianna Wiest explores the areas in which the physical and metaphysical meet. Her storytelling and poetic reflections are through-provoking, soul-stirring, and a simple guide for those on a journey of awakening to their innermost truths.

This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

This is the year you change your life. If you’re in a pivot period—if you’re still bridging the space between where you are and where you want to be—remember that the person you’re becoming is already within you. The journey is convincing your mind to act consistently on what your heart already knows it wants to do. The Pivot Year is a book of 365 daily meditations on finding the courage to become who you’ve always wanted to be, from the internationally bestselling author of 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think, The Mountain Is You, and more.

Ceremony is a collection for those on the cusp of becoming. It is a reminder that we were not meant to fit into this world perfectly but to live in such a way that we might forge a path all our own. It is a reminder that we are one with each other and nature itself. It is a reminder that we hold within us the latent potential of every future possibility we can conceive of. It is a reminder that we often must release what is not ours in order to receive what is, that we are all born with a unique imprint to leave upon the world, and that self- love is not an infatuation but a homecoming. Ceremony is a book written around the idea that the most unlikely moments are often the very ones offering us a chance to meet ourselves more deeply; it is a book for the ones who are ready to stop waiting and wondering and dive all the way into who they were meant to be.

IN HER FIRST COLLECTION of published essays, Brianna Wiest weaves together the essence of becoming oneself through a series of personal stories and some of her most popular online writing. Her words are a balm for the soul, an opportunity for reflection, and a window into the heart of what it means to be human.

यह लेखिका ब्रियाना वीस्ट के सबसे पसंदीदा लेखों का संकलन है। वह इस बात पर चिंतन करती हैं कि हमें जुनून की बजाय प्रयोजन का अनुसरण करना चाहिए, नकारात्मक सोच को स्वीकारना चाहिए, अपने रोज़मर्रा के कामकाज में मौजूद समझदारी को देखना चाहिए और उन संज्ञानात्मक झुकावों को लेकर सचेत होना चाहिए जो जीवन के प्रति हमारे नज़रिये को गढ़ रहे हैं।

Dear reader, I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always. This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all. That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry. Love, Rithvik

The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.

"Ghalib was a poet who mocked hardship, a philosopher who dared to argue with God, and a man who turned disappointment into an art form. Though often wrapped in layers of difficult language and intricate thought, at the heart of his vast poetic “ocean” lies a single, luminous “drop” - his deeply human individuality. He was the ultimate maverick: urbane, ironic, and restlessly modern, forever questioning, forever unsettled. Ocean in a Drop draws back the curtain on Urdu’s greatest genius. Stripping away academic clutter, this book approaches Ghalib through his most iconic she’rs, revealing the man behind the mystique. You will discover: ~ The Persona: The ego, the wit, and the “shroudless” independence of a 19th-century rebel. ~ The Wound: How he transformed neglect and betrayal into a mark of distinction. ~ The Edge: His playful yet profound walk along the borders of faith, existence, and the void. This is not a textbook. It is a conversation - intimate, unguarded - with a man who understood that life is chaotic, and that humour is often its only redemption. Whether you have long admired him or are meeting him for the first time, this is Ghalib as he was meant to be known: sharp, soulful, and unmistakably his own."

Dear reader, If you have a heart, you will fall in love. And chances are, someone will end up breaking your heart. I wrote this book after someone broke mine. What do you do when the only person you’ve ever loved with your whole heart decides to leave your life? You keep trying to run away from the hurt, but to no avail. This book is a product of all the running I did from heartbreak. I feel everything too deeply, and when my heart broke, I collected all the broken pieces, and they fueled my art. This book is everything I wrote after someone I loved left me. There’s too much heartbreak in these pages, but also too much hope and, more than anything, a promise that life can’t always hurt you. I hope healing finds its way to you soon. Love, Rithvik
