Finding Your Balance
Urban myth has long made the menopause appear a scary endpoint in a woman’s life. This book debunks this misconception to reveal the menopause to be as much a journey-defined by the years leading up to and after it, known as the perimenopause-as an event.
What role do hormones play in the menopause? Do they work in isolation or are there external factors, such as your environment, your food and your mental state, that affect them? Can your concerns and symptoms only be medically addressed, or do you have a role to play?
In Finding Your Balance, gynaecologist Dr Nozer Sheriar and macrobiotic nutritionist Shonali Sabherwal combine their expertise into an empowering manual on navigating the (peri)menopause. Mixing personal journeys with professional knowledge, this book distils medical jargon into bite-sized, accessible knowledge that will enable women to make informed decisions on their health. Moreover, it guides the reader on to a holistic path that addresses how emotional states and lifestyles can influence the perimenopause.
Packed with information, Finding Your Balance is the best friend every woman needs.

Numbers Don’t Lie: 71 Things You Need to Know About the World
Is flying dangerous? How much do the world’s cows weigh? And what makes people happy?
From earth’s nations and inhabitants, through the fuels and foods that energize them, to the transportation and inventions of our modern world – and how all of this affects the planet itself – in Numbers Don’t Lie, Professor Vaclav Smil takes us on a fact-finding adventure, using surprising statistics and illuminating graphs to challenge lazy thinking.
Packed with ‘well-I-never-knew-that’ information and with fascinating and unusual examples throughout, we see how it is too soon to judge shale gas, that vaccination yields the best return on investment, and why electric cars aren’t as great as we think (yet). There’s a wonderful mix of science, history and wit, all in bite-sized chapters on a broad range of topics.
Should you trust unemployment figures? Is China’s rise unstoppable? And what’s worse for the environment: your car or mobile phone?
Unclouded by pessimism or optimism and unafraid of big questions, Smil explains why calls for the Anthropocene era may be premature but why the Paris Agreement does not go far enough. These issues are not straightforward and progress takes longer than you think, but with Smil as our authoritative and entertaining guide we get a healthy shot of realism.
Urgent and essential, Numbers Don’t Lie is a powerful rallying cry for interrogating what you take to be true in these significant times. Smil is on a mission to make facts matter, because after all, numbers may not lie, but which truth do they convey?

Option B : Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy
After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void, ‘” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.” Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.
From Facebook’s COO and Wharton’s top-rated professor, the #1 New York Times best-selling authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life’s inevitable setbacks. After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. “I was in ‘the void, ‘” she writes, “a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.”
Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build. Option B combines Sheryl’s personal insights with Adam’s eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart–and her journal–to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl’s loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy. Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives.
Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. “I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend replied, “Option A is not available,” and then promised to help her make the most of Option B. We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

Pyramid Yantra for Vaastu
The Pyramid Yantra is an integral element of Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian architectural science focused on creating harmonious living spaces. This yantra uses the pyramid’s unique shape, believed to possess powerful energy-enhancing properties, to balance and amplify energy fields within a structure. By replicating the proportions and angles of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pyramid Yantras are designed to harness cosmic energy effectively. They offer a practical solution to correct Vaastu defects, known as Vaastu doshas, without necessitating significant structural alterations.
Placement is crucial for the effectiveness of Pyramid Yantras. These small, three-dimensional models, often crafted from materials like crystal, copper, or brass, are strategically positioned in specific areas to rectify energy imbalances. Common locations include the center of a house (Brahmasthan), corners, entrances, and places identified with Vaastu defects. In larger spaces or for more complex energy corrections, multiple Pyramid Yantras can be employed to enhance the flow of positive energy and mitigate negative influences.
The benefits of using Pyramid Yantras are substantial. They promote health, wealth, and overall well-being by optimizing the flow of positive energy. Users report improved mental clarity, peace, and a more harmonious living environment. Additionally, Pyramid Yantras provide a non-invasive method for addressing Vaastu defects, avoiding the need for costly renovations, and protecting against negative influences and harmful radiation. Regular cleansing and proper placement of these yantras ensure their continued effectiveness, making them a powerful tool for aligning one’s environment with the principles of Vaastu Shastra.

The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity
“The Argumentative Indian” by Amartya Sen explores India’s rich tradition of public debate and intellectual pluralism. Sen highlights the historical roots of this argumentative culture, emphasizing how figures like Ashoka and Akbar, along with various scholars, have fostered a society that values dialogue and dissent. This tradition, Sen argues, is crucial to understanding India’s diverse and democratic nature.
Sen connects this historical tradition to contemporary issues, discussing democracy, secularism, and human rights in modern India. He shows how the argumentative heritage can inform and address today’s challenges, such as economic development, social inequality, and religious conflicts. Embracing this culture of debate is essential for India’s progress and problem-solving.
Lastly, Sen critiques the Western-centric view of India and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of its culture and history. By highlighting India’s contributions to global intellectual traditions, he challenges stereotypes and misconceptions. “The Argumentative Indian” calls for a greater appreciation of India’s intellectual heritage and its role in promoting dialogue and reasoned debate to build a more inclusive and just society.
