Truth, so they say, is stranger than fiction. This may be so, but when anecdotes about such characters as Lam, Rugg, Great Uncle Horatius, and his disreputable companion, Stinky, plus an assortment of animals, are added to the equation, doubt about this truism can creep in. Curious Reflections is the meandering observations, musings, and correspondence between two sisters living three hundred miles apart in England. During the course of these ramblings the line between truth and fiction can very often become decidedly blurred. In an attempt to keep my mind off other projects...I decided to log on and see if there were any e-mails from Ann. Ann, or Mowl as she is known, is a very diligent correspondent, keeping me up to date with all the trivia and goings on down in her neck of the woods. She is known as Mowl because when we were children we would amuse ourselves by deciding what animals people reminded us of. Because of her short-sightedness and penchant for black velvet, Ann was of course a mole, hence Mowl. For reasons we shall not go into, I was a ferret, or Pherrit (somehow the "ph" makes it seem so much better).

On November 26, 2008 the author and his wife were taken hostage by terrorists in a hotel in Mumbai. Over the next few days, they faced the possibility of death by the terrorists%u2019 bullets or by fire. They were rescued a few days later but, as the author put it, "he thought of dying on the morrow helps wonderfully to concentrate your mind on things that you have left undone and the little time that you may have left in the world.After their successful rescue, he was urged by his family and friends to write about their experiences. And that is where this book begins. It ranges over a wide spectrum of personalities and issues- from Obama's meteoric rise to the musings of Mandela, from Pakistan's imminent collapse to new ideas for Afghanistan, from heart disease to caregivers, from relationship with children to sex. In short a delightful read.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper’s Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational Memoir At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi’s transformation from a naïve medical student “possessed,” as he wrote, “by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: ‘I can’t go on. I’ll go on.’” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.

Introducing a new holistic paradigm that provides a clear new pair of lens - for the mind. This new concept depolarizes our perceptions on reality by reconciling the ancient and deeply compelling paradox known as dualism. As it unravels the greatest mystery of our existential lives, that great enigma that in spirituality led us from “all good”, to good & evil; and in science, leads to two laws that we cannot reconcile. However, with this new pair of depolarizing lens, we are able to conceive something quite remarkable, space, time and how existing things are formed in it. This book is very relevant because it is antidote to the social and political ills of our societies. The polarization inherent in our present paradigm creates social diseases such as sexism, racism, wars, and the myriad forms of hate we tend to indulge in. We daily confront the ravages of political neglect that we are forced to bear, as we try to cope with these corrupted ways of being. The benefit of this new holistic paradigm is that it provides a logical, science-based understanding that is so obvious and universal, we are essentially oblivious to it; and, it resolves the greatest paradoxes we face as spiritual beings in a materialistic world. This book promotes well-being for the soul in the evolution of the mind. • Reveals the origin of the invisible field we call Space(Time) • Explains how existing things emerge and form into being • Sheds whole new light on the meaning of GOD • Reconciles the divides between Eastern and Western traditions in religion, science, and philosophy • Bridges Dualism (Separation & Polarization) • Self Actualization Meditations (“I AM ‘Mind’, I AM ‘Consciousness’”)

Throughout his life, George Manus has reflected on big and small, which has already resulted in 19 books. He claims that while things are happening, we only get to think in the present. It is only afterwards that we have time and opportunity to think analogize and consider. The importance the author attaches to the idea of reflection is in other words afterthoughts. In this, his twentieth book, George Manus has picked out thoughts from "Reflections" I - II and III, as well as "Thoughts". Thoughts were written, one every day, on the first 51 days of 2001, while the Reflections spread as far back as 1989.
