  A searching, heartfelt exploration about what it means to process grief, by a bestselling author and journalist who experienced two devastating losses.  Since losing her mother to cancer in 2018 and her sister to alcoholism three years later, author and journalist Dina Gachman has dedicated herself to understanding what it means to grieve, how to live with loss, and the ways we stay connected to those we miss. Through a mix of personal storytelling, reporting, and insight from experts, Gachman gives readers a fresh take on grief—whether the loss is a family member, beloved pet, or a romantic relationship. No one wants to join the grief club, since membership comes with zero perks, but So Sorry for Your Loss will make that initiation just a little less painful.

  Shankara on the Absolute -...

  Shri Shankara

  This is volume one of the six-volume Shankara Source Book, which contains writings by Shri Shankara, arranged systematically by subject.Shri Shankara was a great philosopher-sage who expressed the non-dual teachings in such a complete and satisfactory way that his formulation has been followed by authentic teachers of the non-dual tradition ever since.Most of his writings are in the form of commentaries on revealed texts such as the principle Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, so what he said was placed around those texts, which are far from systematic.His aim was to demonstrate that underlying the apparent contradictions and differences on the surface, all the great revealed scriptures in fact point ultimately to one Supreme Truth. He wished to do this in order to overcome the confusion that was causing hardship to the people at large, and creating difficulties for dedicated seekers. Shankara probably lived in the 8th century, and died in his early 30s.Shankara considered other views in great detail, sometimes provisionally accepting elements of their arguments, and then pointing out where those views lead to difficulties. One of the great qualities of the non-dual teachings as formulated by Shankara is that they are able to recognise and incorporate what is valid and useful in other views.All this can make it difficult to find what Shankara said on particular subjects. To meet this difficulty, in the Source Book, the writings have been freshly translated, and brought together under subject headings. These in turn have been arranged in six volumes each covering one broad topic. These are: Volume 1 Shankara on the AbsoluteVolume 2 Shankara on the CreationVolume 3 Shankara on the SoulVolume 4 Shankara on Rival ViewsVolume 5 Shankara on DiscipleshipVolume 6 Shankara on Enlightenment

  From the Ashes of My Childhood -...

  From the Ashes of My Childhood is a powerful and unflinching memoir that steps quietly into the hidden corridors of a fractured family legacy. Beneath the surface of ordinary homes and familiar faces lies a world shaped by silence, secrets, and survival. Through fragmented memories and the weight of unanswered questions, one woman pieces together the truth of her past where love was entangled with pain, and safety was always just out of reach. 
  Spanning generations marked by addiction, violence, and betrayal, this story reveals the silent wounds that persist and the invisible threads that tether us to those we long to forget. Yet, even in the darkest corners, flickers of light remain-glimpses of resilience, compassion, and the stubborn hope that healing is still possible. 
  With lyrical prose and disarming honesty, From the Ashes of My Childhood invites readers into a deeply personal reckoning. It is not just a story of what was endured, but of what was reclaimed-identity, peace, and the power to choose a different ending. A memoir as unsettling as it is inspiring, echoes long after the final page, asking: what do we carry, and what must we release to finally be free?

  Gems from the World (Volume 1)

  A Zen Koan answers a question by overturning it. A Sufi sage hides wisdom inside absurdity. Diogenes mocks kings and conventions. Chuang Tzu’s poems move through dreams, playfulness, and silence. Why has wisdom so often chosen such strange forms? In Gems from the World (Volume 1), Acharya Prashant explores Zen Koans, Sufi Parables, Graeco-Roman Parables, and Chuang Tzu’s Poems. He shows that these stories, jokes, paradoxes, and provocations were never meant merely to entertain or preserve tradition. They arise from a common insight: what keeps human beings trapped in confusion is often not a lack of knowledge, but attachment to conclusions they rarely question. Acharya Prashant approaches these traditions not as historical curiosities, but as investigations into the way we think, believe, desire, conform, and call it life. Though separated by centuries and civilizations, these voices meet in his commentary as one inquiry, as relevant today as when the stories were first told. This book invites readers to encounter them where they truly belong: in the mirror of their minds.
