AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Maia Duerr

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Maia Duerr

Posted January 20, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Interviews / 1 Comment

  Published: December 2017 by Parallax Press I recently, got a chance to have a QnA with Maia Duerr, the author Work That Matters. Q. What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life? Two books that have informed how I move through the world are Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and Let Your Life Speak by Parker Palmer. Sometimes I give each of those as gifts to dear friends, knowing what a difference they’ve made in my life! Both those books invited me into an experience that was deeper than the words on the page.

BOOK REVIEW: Invoked – Hymns of War by Karan Bhatia

BOOK REVIEW: Invoked – Hymns of War by Karan Bhatia

Posted January 11, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Reviews / 2 Comments

Pages: 200, Paperback Published: 2016 by Notion Press Invoked is the first book in the series of Hymns of War (a very thoughtful title, in my opinion) written by Karan Bhatia. The book is a horror thriller in the fiction genre and some of the scenes are dark and terrifying enough to give one goosebumps. The plot revolves around Krishna, a common man who is teacher at the university, and leads a simple life with his wife, daughter and his parents. An accident changes the fate of the whole family. These attacks starts like baby steps, small, as warnings but soon turn fatal and the life of Krishna becomes painful and intolerable. He then decides with the help of a […]

BOOK REVIEW: Tribe of Mentors – Short Life Advice from the Best in the World by Timothy Ferriss

BOOK REVIEW: Tribe of Mentors – Short Life Advice from the Best in the World by Timothy Ferriss

Posted November 26, 2017 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 7 Comments

Pages: 624, Kindle Edition Published: 21st November 2017, by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Cover Rating: 5/5 (hint: something is in symmetry, see carefully) I get excited when I hear Tim Ferriss is going to release a new book. The guy knows what to write, or at least how to present information in terms of mere words. Last year, I spent 18 days on his Tools of Titans which came out in the month of December. I haven’t spent more than 15 days on Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Tim’s books tend to cover a vast amount of information that is not easy for a human brain to process. After putting my nose in his […]
