Book on Happiness: Feel, Deal and Heal by Nirmal Yadav

Book on Happiness: Feel, Deal and Heal by Nirmal Yadav

Published April 15th 2017 Pages 200 From the time I put my hands on Nirmal Yadav’s latest non-fiction book, “Feel, Deal and Heal” considering the amount of books in self-help genre as a whole, I had good vibes.

Published: 30 March, 2017 A deep, twisty dive in an interesting true crime tale of the decade! How often do you read True Crime stories? I am always seeking one of them. They have a way of capturing my focus for the longest period of hours. Well most crime fiction does that to me, and if it’s true, the more real, the merrier reading hours.
