Truth Without Apology: For Those Tired of Sweet Lies

"For Those Tired of Sweet Lies, Here Is the Truth: Unfiltered. Undiluted. Unafraid. In a world where vagueness is mistaken for depth and obscurity passes for wisdom, Truth without Apology slices through our borrowed beliefs with rare clarity and fire. This is not a book to entertain or console. It is a challenge. A mirror. A sword. Drawn from Acharya Prashant's most penetrating writings, these reflections confront the reader on the deepest fronts - identity, time, desire, ego, relationships and the unseen forces that govern our mind. There are no borrowed ideals here. No recycled spirituality. Only original seeing, hammered out in the furnace of honesty and inner rigour. This is not for the seeker of comfort. It is for the one who is willing to be scorched clean. For the one who dares to ask: What is life really about, and am I living it right? If you are done with half-truths and pop wisdom, if you are ready to meet yourself without disguise, this book will not only speak to you, it will stir something in you that cannot be silenced again. But be warned: Truth does not flatter. It does not apologize. And once seen, it cannot be unseen."

It operates in more than 100 countries, impacting the lives of billions of people around the world. The abiding goodwill and respect that the Tata brand carries today can be traced back largely to the vision and integrity of one individual who spearheaded the conglomerate for over two decades--Ratan Tata.

It is as much a story of determination and an unwavering commitment to enduring principles and values as it is a testament to achieving unprecedented corporate success. Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews with Ratan Tata, his family, friends, former colleagues and business associates, and filled with previously unknown facts, anecdotes and the author's insights, this is a comprehensive account of a life the likes of which the world has seldom seen."

Shiva to Shankara: Giving Form to the Formless

"We live in times where people have extreme views. On the one hand, there are scholars who describe Shiva's linga literally as a phallus, and see all metaphoric meaning as embarrassed apology of the uneducated. On the other hand, we have puritanical Hindus who want to strip the Shiva linga of all sexual meaning and sanitize Shiva's lore. In both cases, a symbol is being reduced to a sign. In Shiva to Shankara, Devdutt Pattanaik, India's leading mythologist, seeks to bridge the gap. As he explores the layers of meanings embedded in Shiva's linga, we discover why and how the Goddess transforms Shiva, the hermit, into Shankara, the householder."

The India Way: Strategies for an Uncertain World

"''India's External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar is an unusual combination of diplomat, politician, and public intellectual. 'The India Way' articulates his vision of India's strategic choices.'' -Atlantic Council 'A timely message to the new India which is becoming stronger.' -The Week 'Wide ranging...a meditation on the sources of India's conduct on the global stage.' -Hindustan Times The global order is always evolving, and in that sense, change could well be seen as a constant factor. But that ongoing evolution has now been given a sharper edge by the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, developments in Afghanistan, the Ukraine conflict and greater friction among key powers. 'One Trend and Four Shocks' are thus creating a new landscape. The 'Four Shocks' have, each in their own way, led to heightened global anxiety and insecurity. This era of upheaval entails greater expectations from India, putting it on the path to becoming a leading power. In The India Way, S. Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, analyses these challenges and spells out possible policy responses. In doing so, he is very conscious of balancing India's national interest with international responsibilities. He places this thinking in the context of history and tradition, appropriate for a civilizational power that seeks to reclaim its place on the world stage."

The Power Of Humility: How Humble High Achievers Are Rewriting the Rules of Leadership

"Humility is interpreted differently in different cultures-as a blend of weakness, meekness and shyness, juxtaposed with kindness and compassion. When we describe Someone as a 'humble' person, we are referring to a person who is a reflection of anodyne blandness: nice, soft, simple, respectful and shy. Is it really that simple? In an era in which hubris is not just a leitmotif but is openly rewarded in business and society, it is not surprising that when we talk about leadership, humility is the last adjective that comes to mind. Commonly, leadership is associated with charisma, aggression and often naked ambition. Is there a relation between humility and high achievement? Are leaders born with humility or is it an acquired trait? Can humble leaders inspire employees to perform better? Is humility a sign of weakness or a strength in leaders? For over three decades, Dr PV Ramana Murthy has been a curious student of leadership. In The Power of Humility, he explores this subject in detail. A result of over five years of rigorous first-hand research and numerous interviews with business leaders, the book provides a fresh perspective on how humble high achievers are rewriting the rules of leadership. In the process, it not only addresses the importance of humility, as a cognitive and affective skill for leaders, but also builds a unique framework-a powerful manual of sorts-which current and future leaders can use to emulate in their professional careers."

What the CEO Really Wants From You

"There are many books on leadership and how to lead. What the CEO Really Wants from You addresses the one key question that is uppermost in the mind of any manager: What should he or she do to make the boss a partner rather than perceive the boss as an extractor of work or an adversary? As Paul Polman, CEO of Unilever, points out in his foreword, partnerships with others, but above all, with your direct boss and organization, are more important than ever before. Few people are so well qualified as R. Gopalakrishnan to guide us on this journey. This is a book that will be of immense value to all managers, and one that just might evoke pragmatic answers to the question of what the CEO really expects from the team."

R. Gopalakrishnan (Author), Rusy Shroff (Narrator)
