An ancient conversation for a modern audience - anyone who has ever
asked 'what is the purpose of life? or 'who am I?' will find
something in this book. The Bhagavad Gita has been around a long
time, but remains little known outside India. This edition sets out
to change that. The ancient Gita is a world text dealing with the
mysteries of life. At its heart is a conversation between the soul
and God. Ranchor Prime's version adopts a non-sectarian approach,
making the Gita relevant to those of all religions or none, and
emphasising the link between religion and self-development. It is
distinguished by its easy accessibility. His section-by-section
commentary opens the text to the spiritual seeker. He never loses
sight of the audience for his book, and that he wants his readers
to understand the Gita in a personal way.
Daily Reflection is a positive habit that can bring profound change
into your life. Taking time out to reflect on your day and consider
what went well or not so well is the perfect way to learn from and
build on successes, as well as learn from failures and find ways to
make improvements, helping you to grow and do better next time. It
gives you great ideas, helps you to help others, makes you happier,
and it gives perspective in life. In the busyness of daily life,
the feeling of overwhelm is increasingly common. A high-pressure
lifestyle, whether it's trying to meet tight deadlines or simply
trying to be all things to all people, can lead to a setback or a
mistake becoming the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.
In reflection, you gain an opportunity to step back and see the
bigger picture. In the grand scheme of things, are the "end of the
world" problems you're facing really insurmountable? In reflection,
you find calm, and in calm you see things from a different
perspective. You can't control what other people do, you can only
control what you do - and how you react to what others do - so
creating change in your world begins and ends with creating change
in yourself. As someone wise once said, "Be the change you want to
see in the world." Instead of wasting energy being angry at the
world and frustrated by the actions of others, turn your attention
to your own thoughts and actions and consider how they influence
the world around you. The pages of this book provide a
thought-provoking message and two reflection points for each day of
the year. You may or may not agree with the reflection points, but
that's the beauty of reflection and contemplation. Only through
coming to your own conclusions do you begin to gain a greater
understanding of how you think, and how your thoughts and beliefs
may be influencing your actions and outcomes in life. Every
resource you need to be and do better is already within you. Daily
Reflection is the key to discovering and becoming your best self.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
We all have an ikigai.
It's the Japanese word for a reason to live or a reason to jump out of bed in the morning .
It s the place where your needs, desires, ambitions, and satisfaction meet. A place of balance. Small wonder that finding your ikigai is closely linked to living longer.
Finding your ikigai is easier than you might think. This book will help you work out what your own ikigai really is, and equip you to change your life. You have a purpose in this world: your skills, your interests, your desires and your history have made you the perfect candidate for something. All you have to do is find it.
Do that, and you can make every single day of your life joyful and meaningful.
