Summary

This unfinished dialogue continues the account of the legendary conflict between ancient Athens and the mighty island empire of Atlantis. It describes the geography, architecture, and eventual moral decline of the Atlantean civilization, which angered the gods. The text serves as a political allegory, contrasting the ideal state with an imperial power corrupted by wealth and ambition. Though incomplete, it is the primary source for the myth of the lost continent.

    A raw, bold and unfiltered exploration of sex, love, and society. 
     
    It is time to get sex out of the closet. 
    Is it better to have unsatisfying sex than to masturbate? Is it okay to seek sexual satisfaction outside marriage? Do women really lose interest in sex after menopause? 
    Though sex is considered a 'dirty' word in Indian society, its role in our lives is undeniable. The Toilet Seat takes a deep dive into how sex is perceived and portrayed, the stigma around premarital and extramarital sex, and the perversions that suppressing natural instincts can cause. 
    With fearless honesty, it dissects myths, exposes hypocrisy, and challenges rigid ideas about love, fidelity, and pleasure. Urging readers to rethink deep-rooted norms, it encourages open conversations about sex and relationships. Packed with eye-opening insights, it also offers guidance on understanding a partner's sexual needs. 
    And what does the title of the book---The Toilet Seat---have to do with all this? Read on to find out why this phenomenal book became a runaway Tamil bestseller.

    Harness the power of the Enneagram to learn about yourself, maximize your strengths, and improve your relationships. Pronounced ENN-EE-UH-GRAM, stemming from the Greek words ennea (nine) and grammos (a written symbol), the Enneagram is a centuries-old categorization tool that classifies human personalities into nine interconnected personality types.  Through in-depth descriptions and discussion, learn how to assess how you think, feel, and experience life, so that you can correctly identify which of the nine types you are.  Type 1: The Improver/Reformer/Perfectionist (Life Strategy: “I must be perfect and do what is right.”)  Type 2: The Helper/Giver/Befriender (Life Strategy: “I must be helping, caring, and needed.”)  Type 3: The Achiever/Performer/Motivator (Life Strategy: “I must be impressive and look accomplished and successful.”)  Type 4: The Individualist/Romantic/Artist (Life Strategy: “I must be understood uniquely as I am.”)  Type 5: The Investigator/Observer/Theorist (Life Strategy: “I must be knowledgeable and equipped.”)  Type 6: The Loyalist/Skeptic/Guardian (Life Strategy: “I must be secure and safe.”)  Type 7: The Enthusiast/Optimist/Epicurean (Life Strategy: “I must be enjoying myself and avoiding pain.”)  Type 8: The Challenger/Protector/Advocate (Life Strategy: “I must be strong and outside the control of others.”)  Type 9: The Peacemaker/Mediator/Reconciler (Life Strategy: “I must maintain peace and calm.”)  Authors Liz Carver and Josh Green, creators of the hugely popular Instagram account @justmyenneatype, help you discover how knowing your type—and the types of those around you—can affect your daily life, your decisions, and your relationships with others, and how to use this wisdom to live life with more clarity, peace, and insight than you ever thought possible.  So what’s your enneatype? Find out today and get started on the journey to better understand your world, yourself, and your place within it.
