The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell YOU: Answers to Inspire Adventure of Your Life (10th Anniversary Edition)

A perennially popular book by a beloved author—now in an updated package with a new preface—sheds light on what the next life may have in store.

“A book about living that will help readers see more beauty, feel more power, and know more love.” — don Miguel Ruiz, international best-selling author of The Four Agreements

If the dead could speak, don’t you wonder what they would say to those of us they’ve left behind? What would they tell us to soothe our sorrow for their loss, calm our fears of what happens when we die, and fire us up to live the best possible lives we can right now? These are the questions New York Times best-selling author Mike Dooley seeks to answer in The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell YOU—and ten years after its initial release, it’s still one of Mike’s most popular and beloved books. In pages filled with wisdom, humor, and, yes, joy, Mike explores our most pressing and profound questions about the afterlife—and this life—by adopting the perspective of those who have made the transition to the next phase. Among the revelations and insights they share:

• We were ready; you are not.
• There’s no such thing as a devil or hell.
• We’re sorry for any pain we may have caused.
• Your pets are just as crazy, brilliant, and loving here as they were there.
• Nothing we say can prepare you for the beauty of the moment you arrive.

New readers are discovering The Top Ten Things Dead People Want to Tell YOU all the time—and this anniversary release gives the book a fresh new package and new preface from the author to frame its invaluable insights for the times we live in now.

I’m Not a Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart

New York Times bestselling author KRIS CARR shares (embarrassing, painful, helpful, and often hilarious) stories and observations in this transformational book about loss, grief, and what to expect when you’re not expecting your world to fall apart.

A few years ago, Kris, a highly popular wellness leader who has educated and empowered millions for nearly two decades, found herself in the midst of a major life rupture—that moment when your worst fears are being realized. Her father was dying, her business was faltering, and her 20-year anniversary of living with an incurable stage IV cancer was on the horizon. But, as Kris found, “Even the worst ruptures can reveal a road map to our next chapter of fully alive living.”

In I’m Not a Mourning Person, Kris couples her signature wit and raw storytelling with tools and practices to help you tend to your most painful wounds with fierce grace. When your life has been turned upside down—whether by the dissolution of a relationship or marriage; the end of a job or career; or, like Kris, the grief of illness or death—it may feel easier to deny or bury whatever big, messy feelings threaten to overwhelm you. As Kris reveals, however, “When we’re brave enough to tend to our hearts, our messy emotions can teach us how to be free—not free from pain, but free from the fear of pain and the barrier it creates to fully living.”

Spiritual Activator: 5 Steps to Clearing, Unblocking, and Protecting Your Energy to Attract More Love, Joy, and Purpose

According to renowned energy healer and spiritual activation expert Oliver Niño, your soul arrived in a clear, energetic state, and the universe wants you to return to your natural way of being.

Energetic blocks can hamper your ability to be the best version of yourself, while traumas, ancestral roots, or environmental factors give birth to feelings of fear, guilt, anger, and betrayal. But in this book, Oliver shares his 15-day energy cleanse that not only detoxes your energetic fields but helps you to tap into a higher power and activate your spiritual gifts.

By following Oliver’s program, which includes exercises, tools, and meditations—you will see vast improvements in your physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. After cleansing your energy field, you’ll also learn how to sustain this clearer state and invite peace, happiness, and abundance into your life.

Writes Oliver, “You already know about the healing benefits of green smoothies, liver cleanses, and detox diets. Well, it’s as important to cleanse your energetic body as it is your physical and mental ones. By doing this, you eliminate any issues at their energetic roots, which allows your body to become a clear vessel through which divine frequencies can flow.”

Caged …

This is my Abbu…my father. I never used to call him Abbu … I love to call him by this name in my memories of him…always.

There’s so much ‘mamta’ in the word ma. More than in a mother herself. Just saying the word starts off a churning in the navel.

Intimate, subtle and deeply personal, Caged … Memories Have Names is probably Gulzar Saab’s first autobiography in verse.

Gulzar Saab ruminates and writes in rainbow colours. From Rumi to Pablo Neruda and Jibananda Das, among others, have coloured him in myriad of hues. With this he has painted the portraits of Birju Maharaj, Mehdi Hasan, Pancham, Asha Bhosle in words. Their palpable presence, thoughts and words are etched in Gulzar Saab’s existence. Then there are people, who have showered his life with love, affection with multitude of emotions: Meghna, Raakhee ji, Vishal Bhardwaj, and Javed Akhtar Saab, to name a few. And, words that remained unsaid to Abbu, search for his Ma within his own existence, they are the silken bonds of life. Gulzar Saab has ‘caged’ them deep inside his heart.

They are for now … and … forever.

The Power Of Imperfect Eating

Dr. Bhatnagar’s book offers us timely and effective guidance on how to change our eating habits if we want to move away from a lifestyle of ”living to eat” to a lifestyle of ”eating to live well”. Professor Das Narayandas, Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School

In Power of Imperfect Eating, Dr. Kavita Bhatnagar introduces readers to a unique journey through the lens of a food technologist, nutritionist, and psychologist who is deeply passionate about food choices and consumer behaviour.

Rather than dictating which foods are good or bad, this book offers a different perspective. It’s not about laying down dietary rules or giving nutrition advice. Instead, it weaves together stories—stories that mirror the intricate, emotional, and often imperfect connection we all share with food. Through these narratives, it invites you to reflect, not just on what you eat, but on how food fits into the broader journey of your life.

Through these stories, you’ll explore how food shapes our lives, our behaviours, and our choices in ways that go far beyond the plate. You’ll meet characters navigating real dilemmas around food, health, and lifestyle—whether it’s reading food labels, balancing health goals, or simply understanding why they eat the way they do.

The book encourages readers to embrace imperfection in their relationship with food, finding peace in progress rather than perfection. Challenging the conventional habit of categorizing food as either “good” or “bad,” she guides readers to re-evaluate how they engage with food in their everyday life without guilt, without judgment—just curiosity and understanding.

And just when you think you’ve learned it all, the author unveils something truly transformative at the end—a powerful tool that will become the reader’s greatest asset in creating lasting, positive change in their relationship with food and health. This revelation makes Power of Imperfect Eating an essential guide for anyone ready to take control of their well-being.

The foundational text on dharma and Hindu philosophy, exquisitely rendered by one of our most eminent Sanskrit translators

As a spiritual guide, the Bhagavadgita is a mesmerizing account of the debate between right and wrong, and the bond between action and consequence. One of the core Hindu scriptures, it is part of the great Indian epic, the Mahabharata, and unfolds in the form of a dialogue between Krishna and the Pandava prince, Arjuna.

This beautifully produced bilingual edition is a masterful verse-for-verse translation, providing the original Sanskrit verses alongside the English rendition. Bibek Debroy’s deep familiarity with the text yields a treasure trove of insights that will delight the scholar and the lay reader alike, making this essential reading for anyone with an abiding interest in Indian scriptures.

On Beauty

What does it mean to be in the presence of beauty? And how can one explore and understand this through the filmography of writer, director, editor, music composer and choreographer Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

In this sweeping text, Prathyush Parasuraman walks the reader through the auteur’s films—those hailed, those hauled—like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Padmaavat, Devdas, Ram-Leela, and Saawariya. With sensitivity and finesse, On Beauty examines beauty as an idea, and aesthetics as a philosophy, while simultaneously shedding light on the making of Bhansali’s painstaking frames through conversations with his cinematographers, composers, choreographers and production and costume designers. In these pages, Bhansali’s cinema comes alive.
