Summary

The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death. Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.   Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.   Utterly charming and very profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have provided since their publication many years ago. With each chapter focusing on a different theme—from Love & Longing to Female Strength—this gorgeous gift book is the perfect compilation of Austen’s funny, moving, and thought-provoking words.   Content of themes:  Love & Longing  Friendship  Society  Female Strength  Life & Death  Faith  Art & Literature “The wit of Jane Austen has for a partner the perfection of her taste.” —Virginia Woolf

    Do you sometimes feel like your messages are received differently than intended? Do you keep falling into the same communication traps at work or in your personal life? Do conversations often not go the way you hope? Then it's time to approach communication strategically – and this guide will show you how it works!
    The idea that "you cannot not communicate" is now common knowledge – which makes it all the more important to communicate well. Misunderstandings are probably the number one cause of frustration, stress, and disappointment in daily life. The concept of transactional analysis provides an easy solution by focusing on analyzing and reflecting on lived experiences – meeting all participants exactly where they are in the conversation. Like financial transactions, the sender and receiver roles are examined, and the relevant components are clearly broken down.
    You'll start by understanding the psychological concept and familiarizing yourself with the underlying theory. Then, through a variety of practical examples and exercises, you'll learn how to apply this knowledge in everyday life.
    Need psychology expertise? Not at all! The clear and systematic explanations combined with easy step-by-step exercises make this book ideal for beginners and will quickly turn you into a master of communication.

    Blank chart predictions is very interesting here we don’t consider any planets in houses or aspects or conjunctions. Here we just look at Ascendant and do predictions similarly every house according to ascendant will have energy of nakshatras and based on that we do predict the signification. With my many decades of experience and wisdom I am presenting this book which explores more of blank chart prediction. It is a unique concept many astrologers doesnot know. I hope readers will like this book and will benefit from this knowledge.

    We always wonder that every House in Vedic astrology has different meaning and results. So how does the planet sitting in it will behave. So in this book I am describing how Venus will give results in different houses in most possible and descriptive way. The planet behavior changes along with the house it sits in and give different results. Every house itself is a mystery and planet sitting in house becomes more mysterious and gives results in very different pattern. Planet is nothing but a cosmic energy which in particular location in house during our birth impacts our entire life the way we think and the way we behave and also controls our emotions. The glands in our brain reacts to this cosmic energy and creates a certain characteristic in our life patter and day to day life and we can understand this by understanding our horoscope and by checking which house the planet is sitting and how it impacts our thinking and life. I hope you will love this book and enjoy reading.

    The life of man in this sense-universe is a life of temptation. Man is born for Self-realisation. He is born for leading a religious life. But he is led astray by the temptations of his environments. He is spoiled by society. He has not got the strength of will to resist the temptations. The desire to attain knowledge of the Self will dawn in these proud, egoistic people only when they meet some adversities, calamities, troubles and disappointments. The desire to attain the knowledge of the Self dawns in a person who is free from desires for sense-objects. Such a man, with a pure mind alone, is competent to tread the spiritual path. With my experience in this book I am explaining mystery of creation, world, rebirth, death, liberation, religion, avatar, faith, maya and ego. If the readers of this books get enlighten by my knowledge I will feel happy and bliss. I welcome you all to my journey of sprituality.
