Balance Is Bullshit


Book Description

Balance is Bullshit combines the advice of an expert, the exercises of a workbook, and the writing prompts of a journal into a program that will help you combine four major aspects of life: physical health, mental health, financial health, and social responsibility. Although we strive to balance these four parts of our lives, the stresses of everyday life interfere and keep us in a constant state of inadequacy because we can't seem to be great at everything at the same time. Alicia McKenzie--athlete, personal trainer, businessperson, wife, and mother of five--knows all too well how hard it can be to keep moving forward, so she developed this four-pronged approach that will help you schedule your time more efficiently while still getting moving toward your goals. She reveals how moving your body, developing your mind, managing your money, and giving back to the community are vital to your everyday wellness and overall happiness. The book starts with advice on creating routines to start and finish your day and using time blocking as a way to efficiently schedule your precious time. The following chapters detail each pillar of the program starting with physical wellness. Readers can use the prompts to begin writing on the journaling pages at the back of the book and a weekly schedule lets them note when they accomplish the assigned goals. Each section assigns exercises and assignments to complete that can be as small as making your bed every day to running one mile every day for a month. With its holistic approach to wellness, Balance is Bullshit is for anyone looking to eliminate the chaos in their lives and achieve more balance, productivity, and joy.




Bullshit Quotient


Book Description

Ranjeev C. Dubey, the author of this incisive, unsparing and eyeopening book, holds that we Indians have an extra ‘credulity chromosome’ built into our DNA. He believes that we are wired to unquestioningly trust those who exercise authority over us, or those whom we admire, even as they unashamedly scam us. In this book, he sets out to dissect the bullshit that surrounds aspects of modern Indian corporate, social, political and legal life. In doing this, he asks and answers basic questions about our society. Who runs the corporate ship and why? Who is making the stock market tick and how? What are health care facilities here to do? What is the role of sleaze and grease in the determination of public policy? Bullshit Quotient: Decoding India’s Corporate, Social and Legal Fineprint offers radical revelations: Indian industrial might is built on the back of a colossal land grab. Criminal cases are business scores being settled through intimidation. Brands and Trademarks are tools to scam consumers. Corruption is necessary so that we may fund our democracy. If you want to understand what’s really going on out there, this book is for you.

Breathe easy.
