10 million super clusters containing 200 billion galaxy clusters containing 2 trillion galaxies containing several septillion planets, all embedded within innumerable amounts of dark matter and dark energy. This is the universe as we know it now; it is the essence of reality, yet the reality that we know so little about. Understanding this universe is more than just understanding some theories; it is understanding the very essence of existence. This is why having knowledge about the universe and physics is so important. The problem is that humanity’s current understanding relies heavily on complicated mathematics and complex, intricate theories that are difficult for the majority to unders...

This question troubles 25-year-old IIM graduate Anveshak Jigyanshu, an investment banker in Singapore, as he meets his two-decade senior Charan Saket. Their conversation reminds the reader of the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna. Anveshak, a self-proclaimed atheist, is mesmerized by the compelling arguments put forth by Charan as they both explore the world of science and its limitations, what proof means, the dilemma of ethics and finally, what real and everlasting happiness is. In a way, Charan explains the essence of the Bhagavad Gita. Slowly turning from a disbeliever to one who accepts logic, Anveshak discovers the key to his question. In a tightly gripping narrative, the authors gently persuade the reader to relook and understand the essence of the Bhagavad Gita in the modern world. Anveshak represents the modern intellectual who seeks happiness but does not want to follow anything blindly. This book will change the way one looks at happiness.

Autobiography of a retired General of the Indian Army.
The Japanese word, Ikigai means 'reason for being'. Think of what you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. When these come together, you get your Ikigai.
