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.
'Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be
human.' - Elizabeth Day To fix a machine, first you need to find
out what's wrong with it. To fix unhappiness, you need to find out
what causes it. That Little Voice in Your Head is the practical
guide to retraining your brain for optimal joy by Mo Gawdat, the
internationally bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Mo reveals
how by beating negative self-talk, we can change our thought
processes, turning our greed into generosity, our apathy into
compassion and investing in our own happiness. This book provides
readers with exercises to help reshape their mental processes.
Drawing on his expertise in programming and his knowledge of
neuroscience, Mo explains how - despite their incredible complexity
- our brains behave in ways that are largely predictable. From
these insights, he delivers this user manual for happiness.
Inspired by the life of his late son, Ali, Mo Gawdat has set out to
share a model for happiness based on generosity and empathy towards
ourselves and others. Using his experience as a former Google
engineer and Chief Business Officer, Mo shares his 'code' for
reprogramming our brain and moving away from the misconceptions
modern life gives us.
