Book Title - Peaceful Wellness : A Layman’s Journey (Pathway to Self Care & Happiness) Author - Shibu Nair Publication - Walnut Publications ISBN - 978-936926290-8 Shibu Nair has written few books in the past. I have had the privilege to read them all and review it on my blog. When I got this book, I couldn’t contain my excitement since I knew I could expect something different for sure.  The book is divided into 7 chapters with 138 pages, This talks about Health, Peace, Wellness, Travel - all in our language that is in layman’s terms.  This implies anyone who reads could relate it to themselves because this is a common scenario in most of our lives. For instance many of us would have eaten at will and wish when we were at home not considering about calories or anything for that matter. We also made it a point to have dinner together and before 7pm, most of the times. This brought our sense of togetherness and we use to feel light.  How a lab assistant replied “My ble...

Many of us have read Bhagavad Gita in the past. The beauty of the book is each time you read, it concerts a different meaning or it shows a new perspective. This worldly book has been deciphered by many eminent in the past in their own stake.   When I understood Author Viswanatha Reddy Thalakola, I did not think twice to grab the book. I have read few of his books in the part & liked his style & approach. The decision to pick this book proved truly a    delight. The book “ The Bhagavad Gita’s Divine Virtues Made Easy - A guide to cultivating Divine Nature” gives a different approach. The book deals in detail yet in a simple language coupled with short stories for each of the header.  The book talks about: Anger Greed Hatred Charity  Compassion Detachment Devotion  Equanimity Fear Forgive Gentle Humility Moderation  Non-Violence Peace Purity Sacrifice Self Control Truthfulness  Vigour and others takes you into each of these characteristics ...

A brilliant book which covers most of the aspects in life. Though these aren’t common for all, there are few which connects us and few are experienced uniquely by the others.  The flow of the book is natural and compelling though author clearly mentioned in the beginning that one could start reading the book from anywhere and complete it. Another aspect I liked in this book is the use if simple language and effective classification of titles under different sub heads under the main topics. What adds more to this book is the inclusion of small stories in each chapter which makes it even more interesting.  I would surely recommend this book since I firmly believe this would help you in some way or the other.  The book covers aspects related to  1) Problems 2) Interpersonal Relations 3) Work 4) Negative aspects 5) Fulfilling your aspirations  6) Other important aspects  7) Mastering Spiritual & Happiness quests You would find a few or more of these relatab...
