Maya - The Biography of a Tiger

Anant Sonawane

FOREWORD BY SACHIN TENDULKAR 
The intimate story of a tigress who became a national icon 
In November 2023, Maya—one of the most beloved tigresses of Maharashtra's Tadoba-Andhari reserve—vanished without a trace. Her disappearance made national headlines, and those who had followed her life at Tadoba for years were left stunned and full of concern for what might have become of her. 
Yet Maya's legend had been years in the making. Born in 2010 and orphaned early, she grew into a tigress of striking composure. She hunted in the open, carried her kills past idling jeeps and often paused before cameras as if aware of the attention she drew from admiring humans. Her calm around people, hold over a vast and contested territory and fierce care for her cubs pushed Maya's story far beyond Tadoba's forest roads. 
In this deeply observed account, Anant Sonawane retraces that life—from Maya's precarious beginnings to her rise as a matriarch who moved with quiet assurance under constant human watch. Clear-eyed and deeply attentive, Maya offers an intimate portrait of a wild tiger seen up close, yet never reduced to distortion or myth.

The Happy Physician - Don't...

Nanda Sekhon

Physician, do you know how to heal thyself?
Or are you taking care of everyone else while you continuously feel empty and exhausted?
For many doctors, being a physician isn’t just a profession; it’s an identity. If you’re not careful, it can be an all-consuming identity, with nothing to spare for yourself and your family. This is no way to live your life because it can lead to burnout, depression, and poor health.
You are a physician, but you are also YOU. You can be happy and accomplished. You just have to find your balance.
Balance can be challenging. Dr. Nanda knows; she’s been there. She was burned out, depleted, and had nothing left to give. She began searching for the answer to her own unhappiness, only to discover that she was the culprit.
Through her health battle, fighting depression, and self-discovery, she learned that she didn’t have to fix everything for everyone and that she was worthy of love and happiness without having to burn herself out in the process. She learned to love herself for who she is, not just as a physician but as a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter.
Now, her mission is to teach you how to do the same. This book is going to be your guide. Nanda will teach you to spot burnout in yourself and others and how to step away and prioritize YOU when you see those signs.
How can you take care of others unless you take care of yourself?
It’s time to be a Happy Physician!
Nanda Sekhon is a physician in El Paso, Texas. She is a medical director of a hormone clinic in her hometown. Nanda has an adventurous spirit, and she loves influencing and empowering others. Her vision is to create a world where every person knows their worth outside of their career and where physicians can give true, quality care without fear of burnout.

Blockchain: The New Internet?...

Phillip Rawson

Blockchain technology could be the greatest innovation since the internet.
What exactly is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a simple but ingenious new protocol that allows peer-to-peer internet transactions that are both secure and anonymous. Many governments and companies are already looking at how to put blockchain technology in place in a wide range of areas. This new protocol could impact every individual on the planet within the next few years.
Why is this important?
Blockchain provides a new secure tool for the transfer “value” utilizing the internet. This is powerful, especially if you’re a craftsman who wants to make a living from your art, or you’re a businessman looking for a better platform on which to build future business. Knowing how this new technology works can give you a real competitive edge in the future. Many of the world’s leading financial institutions are already testing this technology for faster, more secure transactions. These institutions include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Credit Suisse.
The best new is that this technology is public. It is virtually tamper-proof. And, it is available to anyone ready to take advantage of it. This is the same technology that is the driving force behind Bitcoin and other digital currencies, but the potential goes way beyond this.
