Change: Realizing Your Greatest Potential Price: Rs. 295 offer rs 250
Change is inevitable. Both personally and globally, change drives our lives. Despite the new opportunities change can bring, many of us resist and fear it, even as we long for a healthier lifestyle or agree we need a more sustainable culture. Change - Realizing Your Greatest Potential turns this unavoidable condition of life from something fearsome to something empowering by revealing a new perspective on reality. The way we were taught to think of the world is not the way it really is. We are not a mosaic of separate beings in competition for resources. Instead, each of us is an integral part of a whole that encompasses all creation. We are an intrinsic driver behind the force of change. As such, our creative potential is limitless. That potential comes from what author Ilchi Lee discovered over the course of his inner explorations that each of us has a beautiful mind that desires to benefit all beings. This inherent nature is our true greatness and the true power to solidify the changes we envision in our personal lives and the world. Change is urgently needed; the current course of our civilization is no longer tenable. But major changes are not feasible, Lee says, unless we begin with changing ourselves. He says we can start a big change, no matter how daunting it is, with changing our personal attitudes and energy. Change tells you how.

No Ordinary Disruption : Four Global Forces Breaking All The Trends Price: Rs. 799 offer rs 700
Our intuition on how the world works could well be wrong. We are surprised when new competitors burst on the scene or businesses protected by large and deep moats find their defences easily breached or vast new markets are conjured from nothing. Trend lines resemble saw-tooth mountain ridges.
The world not only feels different. The data tell us it is different. Based on years of research by the directors of the McKinsey Global Institute, No Ordinary Disruption is a timely and important analysis of how we need to reset our intuition as a result of four forces colliding and transforming the global economy - the rise of emerging markets, the accelerating impact of technology on the natural forces of market competition, an aging world population and accelerating flows of trade, capital and people.
Our intuitions formed during a uniquely benign period for the world economyoften termed the Great Moderation. Asset prices were rising, cost of capital was falling, labour and resources were abundant and generation after generation was growing up more prosperous than their parents.
But the Great Moderation has gone. The cost of capital may rise. The price of everything from grain to steel may become more volatile. The worlds labour force could shrink. Individuals, particularly those with low job skills, are at risk of growing up poorer than their parents.
