All around us, we are witnessing major changes in our lives due to science and technology. In fact, multiple revolutions, including those related to digital technologies, are simultaneously taking place across the world. The way we think and work, and the way people interact and connect, is evolving at an increasingly rapid rate. On one hand, the world is becoming a better place to live—healthier, wealthier, and more comfortable. However, paradoxically, we are also experiencing more unhappiness and dissatisfaction with life. There is a rise in mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, along with lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular and lung conditions. These lifestyle diseases are the leading causes of death in India. Additionally, many people are increasingly addicted to social media. Most are busy with mobile devices and digital screens, facing numerous distractions, which shrink our attention spans. Broadly speaking, we are becoming disconnected from each other and our inner selves. The world is struggling to cope with the rapid changes brought about by the digital age. In this context, the author has written his third book titled ‘Redesign Your Life in the Modern Age’. His previous two books were ‘Man’s Spiritual Journey’ and ‘Awakening the Thinking Mind’. This book addresses a wide range of topics highly relevant to today’s world. It covers everything from ‘human destiny’ to our inner journey. Topics include pain, suffering, mental stress, loneliness, fear, anxiety, digital obsession, attention deficit, as well as success, pleasure, and happiness. The central theme explores how each of us can redesign our life’s path to face the challenges of the modern age.

In this book, the author addresses issues common to almost all youth trying to achieve success in their lives. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses issues like getting a basic understanding of the phenomenon of ‘success’and dealing with challenges like lack of money, lack of coaching, lack of a ‘family background’, inability to concentrate, getting jilted in love, etc. The second part, from which the title of this book originates, illustrates through very concise and pointed parts of the histories of three nations, the USA, Germany and Japan; all three in the backdrop of World War II; and through brief biographies of some famous personalities like Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Hawking, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Thomas Alva Edison etc; how determined and untiring effort with a ‘never say die’ attitude can lead a person to greatness despite all odds. The third part of the book, with the sub-title ‘The Ugly Duckling’, is the author’s own story. All in all, a very useful self-help book for those seeking success and motivation.

This is the unique book of its kind, dealing with ‘Time Management’ and ‘Goal Setting’ in great depth. This book revolves around three major concepts. The first concept is about moving from ‘negatives’ to ‘positives’, whether at the level of your thoughts, actions, behaviour, language, time utilisation patterns, etc. The second concept is about understanding the power of sub-conscious mind and effectively using it to move towards the life of your dreams. And the third concept is about understanding & tapping into the benefits of the Law of Cause & Effect (i.e., the Law of Karma) towards the achievement of your life purpose. The author has revealed how 3 productive hours can be gained per day by using GOPTA – ‘Goals Oriented Positive Thinking & Actions’ – translating to about 1000 productive hours a year, which you can utilise to achieve your goals across different walks of life and strike a balance therein. A practical handbook for effective time management leading to attaining success in life.

All around us, we find people striving to lead modern lives in a country steeped in age-old traditions, aspiring to the pinnacle of success, though humbly, while also seeking a sacred, individualistic space. There is a great deal of disenchantment, fragility, anger, and despair in life because the mind is not satisfied with just success and material gains. Sometimes we forget that peace is inherent in us and has to be delved into within, not sought outside in this materialistic world. Some incidents remind us that acts of goodness bring peace and carve a niche of sacred space for one. Renowned motivator & author N. Raghuraman highlights in these stories how ordinary people, through their insight and seemingly simple acts, managed to bring extraordinary happiness and satisfaction to their lives and those of others. The book inspires one to live happily and find a sacred space by doing something good for society. Each story carries its own unique moral. These crisp, real stories on various themes—ranging from friendship, compassion, and reverence for elders—will move the reader and help them find fulfillment.

It is a universal truth that whatever you impress on your WILL is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience, and event. JIRIKI is a term for self-power, the ability to achieve liberation or enlightenment through one's own efforts. It is experiencing truth for oneself, not merely accepting another's testimony. Self-empowerment means taking charge of your own life. This involves recognising that within each of us is the ability to live from our natural state. Another way to put it is that a self-empowered individual does not relinquish the power of the expert of the self. The main characteristic of self-empowerment is peace. This sounds so obvious, yet most of us don’t achieve inner peace. To explore this concept further, let’s look at it this way: could you be self-empowered if you had the knowledge and tools necessary for the task? Find out how many people are transforming their lives from dull and stressful to happy and stress-free. Do you entitle your soul to be a JIRIKI? As you sow in your will, so shall you reap in your environment. Imagine your soul energy as a bed of rich soil that helps all kinds of seeds sprout and flourish. Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect. This is why it is so essential that you take charge of your thoughts. In that way, you can bring forth only desirable conditions.
