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.

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.

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.

Healing is not a one-time event. It can begin with a one-time event - typically some form of sudden loss that disrupts our projection of what the future might be.

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.

His love transcends personal longing, exploring the origins of solitude and connecting it to the stillness of the cosmos, contemplating the mysteries that enshroud it.

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

"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."
