  • Veronika decides to Die

    “A highly original, moving, and ultimately life-affirming book.” – Sunday Mirror (London)

    Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting to never wake up. But she does—at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.

    Inspired by events in Coelho’s own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

  • Virtual Society: The Metaverse and the New Frontiers of Human Experience

    “A fascinating, provocative case that the metaverse will not merely transform our virtual experience–it may actually enrich the quality of our lives” (Adam Grant)–from the visionary co-founder of one of today’s most innovative technology companies

    “This important book offers a highly persuasive argument that the metaverse, a new kind of virtual world, marks a profound next stage in this long human quest for fulfillment through creation.”–Chris Anderson, head of TED

    The concept of “the metaverse” has exploded in the public consciousness, but its contours remain elusive. Is it merely an immersive virtual reality playground, one that Facebook and other platforms will angle to control? Is it simply the next generation of massive multiplayer online games? Or is it something more revolutionary?

    As pioneering technologist Herman Narula shows, the metaverse is the latest manifestation of an ancient human tendency: the act of worldbuilding. From the Egyptians, whose conception of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans, whose passion for a game inspires extreme behavior, humans have long sought to supplement their day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alternative experiences.

  • VUCAREER: The 4 Pillars to Successfully Manage Your Career in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous World

    Joblessness is a global problem today. Businesses aren’t creating enough jobs, and the ones that exist cannot be filled due to a mismatch in the skills demanded versus those possessed by the applicants. This book is a practical and unique guide full of wisdom that caters to professionals and jobseekers of all backgrounds.

     

    The term ‘Vucareer’ is a neologism derived from the conjugation of the acronym VUCA and career. VUCA stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous—an acronym often used to describe the world we live in. The term VUCA originated with the United States Army War College to describe conditions resulting from the Cold War. The acronym has since been used by businesses across industries and management education experts to advise leadership and management, particularly in the context of globalisation and technological disruption.

     

    The author has distilled his immense experience into an easy-to-read, no-nonsense account of concrete insights and actionable strategies to provide the reader a toolkit that can be used to enhance longevity and material value of a career in today’s context. Whether you are looking to start, reinvent, or further your career, make Vucareer an absolute essential read to be future-ready.

  • Watching You

    Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighbourhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.

    As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all—including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenaged son Freddie—a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5—excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father.

    One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s mother—whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years—is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her.

    Meanwhile, twenty years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam…
