Summary

Lord Buddha, in his profound wisdom, said that for extinction of human suffering, complete annihilation of desire is the only way. This is the sacred truth of suffering.
Ācārya Cārvāka, equally profound in his thinking, said that life is a continuous celebration of desire. Kāma (desire) and artha (wealth) are the only true goals of life. Beg, steal or borrow, but live life like a king. Enjoy life full as long as one is alive.
Who is correct? Lord Buddha or Ācārya Cārvāka? What is desire really meant to Indian society, religion and culture through ages?
The book tries to address these and similar questions objectively and diligently.

    From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY.  
    Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own.  
     
    Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos.  
    In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book).  
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Inspired by her powerful song of the same title, Look What You've Done delves into Tasha's journey of finding freedom in Jesus through life's twists and turns. Tasha takes readers through her early days in small town South Carolina, to her big breakthrough as background singer on stage with Katy Perry, to the mission field in Kenya and beyond. Across many countries and all her days, the truest constant in Tasha's life has been the presence of God in both the highs and the lows.  As her inspirational stories reveal the ways God has guided her journey, Tasha also shares vulnerable reflections on the struggles she's faced in her life of faith and music. Readers will identify with Tasha as she describes the lies that she allowed herself to believe as she struggled with comparison, self-image, and the uncertainty of finding her purpose. Through challenges like these, God continues to bring Tasha wisdom and truth regarding who He is, and who she is meant to be.  Look What You've Done helps readers to:  Discern God's truth from the world's lies  Find freedom, truth, security, and identity in Jesus  Become increasingly bold in prayer  Live as a Christian in an uncertain world  See God's miracles in their life  Begin to embrace seasons of waiting  Look What You've Done: The Lies We Believe & The Truth That Sets Us Free will inspire you to walk in boldness and love, sharing the goodness of God revealed in your life.
