He shows that the Caspian region's resources could serve as alternative energy sources on a global level, mitigating dependence on traditional suppliers and stabilizing energy prices.

    The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success: A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams by Deepak Chopra 
     
    About 
    The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success is a classic book by Deepak Chopra. Chopra has a way of taking deep spiritual concepts and simplifying them, offering you just the right metaphors and examples to help you grasp the ideas. And because of how easy it is to understand (relative to most spiritual texts) and apply the principles outlined by Chopra, practically anyone can learn from the Big Ideas in this book. The main idea behind the book is to develop a symbiotic relationship between spiritual success + financial success… the idea that the two don’t jive well with one another is often the cause of either moral or financial distress for a lot of people. Hopefully, this summary can help shed light on how important it is to marry these two types of success—spiritual as well as financial. 
     
    Tweetable Summary  
    There’s an easier way to get what you want from life—all you’ve gotta do is get in sync with nature + the universe.

    What Is Man?

    Locked in his desk for 25 years, What Is Man? was Twain's most serious, philosophical, and private work. The narrative appears in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a romantic young idealist and an elderly cynic. The pair debate issues of mankind, such as whether man is free to act or is more of a machine, whether personal merit is meaningless given how the environment shapes us, and if man truly has impulses other than to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. An unflinching critic of human affection, a bittersweet humorist, and a master of comic asides, Mark Twain speaks to us across time with verve and wisdom in this rare work. This recording is performed by comedy legend Carl Reiner, a recipient of the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

    The Hindus have had from very ancient times the system of lunisolar cycles, made by the combination of solar years, regulated by the course of the sun, and lunar years, regulated by the course of the moon but treated in such a manner as to keep the beginning of the lunar year near the beginning of the solar year. The exact way they arranged the details of their earliest Calendar is still a subject of research. We deal here with their Calendar as it now stands, in a form developed from about A.D. 400 under the influence of the Greek astronomy introduced into India at no long time previously.
