Many of us struggle to remain calm during the day or to fall asleep at night. Our restless, treacherous minds make us feel good one moment and terrible another. From where do negativity and anguish engulf us and how do we go about being serene and peaceful? Zen shows us the art of attaining that inner quietude without rituals or dogma. Driving to work, washing the dishes, every act could easily be meditation. Based on the original Zen teachings, this beautiful book offers a life-changing perspective on life itself. Bestselling author of many transformational books, Om Swami shares with you the art of happiness with plenty of humour, stories and wisdom as he takes you on a journey from being mind full to mindful.

📚 Book of the Day (fiction)

📜PALE FIRE📜
by Vladimir Nabokov

❗One of the best books of the XX century

---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ Nabokov's darkly witty, richly inventive masterpiece is a suspenseful whodunit, a story of one-upmanship and dubious penmanship, and a glorious literary conundrum.
-----------------------------------------------------

📗About:
The American poet John Shade is dead. His last poem, 'Pale Fire', is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shade's editor, Charles Kinbote. Known on campus as the 'Great Beaver', Kinbote is haughty, inquisitive, intolerant, but is he also mad, bad - and even dangerous? As his wildly eccentric annotations slide into the personal and the fantastical, Kinbote reveals perhaps more than he should be.

🇷🇺 Американский поэт Джон Шейд умер. Его последнее стихотворение, "Бледный огонь", включено в книгу вместе с предисловием, длинным комментарием и примечаниями редактора Шейда, Чарльза Кинбота. Известный на кампусе как "Великий Бобр", Кинбот высокомерен, любопытен, нетерпим, но может ли он также быть безумен, плох - и даже опасен? По мере того как его диковинные аннотации скатываются в личное и фантастическое, Кинбот, возможно, раскрывает больше, чем следовало бы.

📜HOW TO BE ALONE📜
by Lane Moore
---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ The former Sex & Relationships Editor for Cosmopolitan and host of the wildly popular comedy show Tinder Live with Lane Moore presents her poignant, funny, and deeply moving first book.
--------------------------------------------------------
📗About:
Lane Moore is a rare performer who is as impressive onstage—whether hosting her iconic show Tinder Live or being the enigmatic front woman of It Was Romance—as she is on the page, as both a former writer for The Onion and an award-winning sex and relationships editor for Cosmopolitan. But her story has had its obstacles, including being her own parent, living in her car as a teenager, and moving to New York City to pursue her dreams. Through it all, she looked to movies, TV, and music as the family and support systems she never had.

From spending the holidays alone to having better “stranger luck” than with those closest to her to feeling like the last hopeless romantic on earth, Lane reveals her powerful and entertaining journey in all its candor, anxiety, and ultimate acceptance—with humor always her bolstering force and greatest gift.
