Lasse Toft’s 70 Things You Can Do While Being Hospitalized is a darkly comedic survival guide for patients enduring the monotony, fear, and discomfort of long-term hospitalization. Drawing from his six-month ordeal in hospitals, including time in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Toft delivers a book that is equal parts absurd, irreverent, and unexpectedly poignant. The subtitle, A Funny Mental Survival Guide for Every Patient, perfectly encapsulates its purpose: to arm readers with humour as a weapon against despair. The book’s

A truly transformative autobiography does more than chronicle success—it lays bare the soul of the journey, revealing the quiet sacrifices, the unspoken doubts, and the emotional alchemy that turns struggle into triumph. Dileep Heilbronn’s The Malabari Who Loved His Ferrari achieves this with remarkable clarity, offering not just a memoir but a mirror for anyone who has ever dared to dream beyond their circumstances. From the very first pages, where he recounts landing in Dubai in 1991 with just $10
…The title of the book tells many stories. Before you get yourself in a mess of thoughts and start speculating, let me break it out that the book is a non-fiction genre attempt at uncluttering the web of thoughts and complex ideas we often encounter as soon as we try to enter into a spiritually active phase. Is it a self-help book? You can say that. Is it a religious book? You can say that too. Is it a book
…You must have read many books that discuss decision-making, the advantages of being decisive in life, the styles of decision-making, how good decisions can shape your life in a good way and vice-versa, and so many things about decision making. However, one thing that’s common in most of the books in this category is that the author is way too disconnected from the audience or the barrier to effective communication because the author is from a different background and tries
…Vanisha Uppal’s debut non-fiction book in the spiritual genre, On The Way, is a one of its kind book without much conjecture. The author has written about herself and her thoughts but she has been able to connect with her readers as if things are universal. And it is so once you start reading the book. The issues that the book discusses are not very far from the issues we face in our daily lives. Thoughts, questions, doubts, queries, curiosity,
…I just took the book in my hands and began with random observations on random pages. Somehow, I reached page number 102, the one with an interview with Pavitra Shankar, Brigade Enterprises. The interview was solid with important observations on the real estate in the country and how one can ensure better gains with a little caution. I got to know about REITs and how one can assure safety even when the market goes down. This interview aroused my curiosity
…History has always served as a source of inspiration, a mirror for mistakes we should not make and a foundation on which we stand in the present, shaping our future. India’s history is long, long enough to contain many things that we like or dislike depending upon our political and ideological biases or merely rationale. For example, there are historians who are hell-bent on proving that Aryan immigration theory still holds ground even after it has been debunked and proven
…This year has been productive enough for me in terms of reading modern novels, non-fiction books by contemporary writers and many other genres that I would have wanted to read all the time. It is always a good thing that you get to read various authors and various kinds of books. Though religious literature in the modern days have almost been knighted as obscure and ‘too much’ of fiction by many critics who have only one eye when it comes
…“Sexual Intelligence is the set of internal resources that allows you to relax, be present, communicate, respond to stimulation, and create physical and emotional connection with a partner. When you can do that, you’ll have enjoyable sexual experiences, regardless of what your body does. Compared to that kind of emotional and physical nourishment, the biggest, hardest erection or the wettest, tightest vagina are trivial.”
If this makes sense to you, you will surely love reading this book, Sexual Intelligence, by
…Right to the book I am about to review, Sharat Sharma’s bestselling title, The One Invisible Code is a book that is not only motivational in terms of the genre as we all know very well. The book comes loaded with many things that are not very popular or usually found in the books of this nature. The One Invisible Code is a testimony of the perfection of harmony between thoughts and emotions, passion and realisation, the author and the
