Discipline Is Destiny
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Ryan Holiday is a genius' Chris Evans '[He] translates Stoicism ... into pithy catchphrases and digestible anecdotes for ambitious, twenty-first-century life hackers' New York Times The inscription on the Oracle of Delphi says: 'Nothing in excess.' C.S. Lewis described temperance as going to the 'right length but no further.' Easy to say, hard to practice - and if it was tough in 300 BC, or in the 1940s, it feels all but impossible today. Yet it's the most empowering and important virtue any of us can learn. Without self-discipline, all our plans fall apart. Here, Ryan Holiday shows how to cultivate willpower, moderation and self-control in our lives. From Aristotle and Marcus Aurelius, to Toni Morrison and Queen Elizabeth II, he illuminates the great exemplars of its practice and what we can learn from them. Moderation is not about abstinence: it is about self-respect, focus and balance. Without it, even the most positive traits become vices. But with it, happiness and success are assured: the key is not more but finding the right amount.

If Truth Be Told: A Monk's Memoir
If Truth Be Told is a memoir of Om Swami’s extraordinary pursuit to understand spirituality and find God. As an eight-year-old boy he dreamt of God and this experience left him filled with exhilaration and deep peace. Thus began his quest to meet the Divine power, for which he delved in the science of astrology, tantra and extreme meditation, with no success. Agitated and emotionally frustrated he decided to dive into the materialistic world, head first. As an 18 year old, Om Swami left for Australia to distract himself of the spiritual pandemonium. After two years of dedicated hard work, he was earning $250,000 annually and by the age of 26 he was a multimillionaire. Living the idyllic good life as quoted by the modern tainted society was never his goal and when his inner commotion could no longer be overlooked he left all worldly pleasures and left for Himalayas. Living the life of a monk in the solitude of Himalayas, Om Swami practiced meditation and fought against the fierce environment, wild animals and starvation. In the lap of Himalayas and the intense solitude he found the answer that he sought after, ‘I am what I have been seeking’. Through this book, readers can experience the spiritual journey of this monk who broke all preconceived notions of the world to search for spiritual bliss.

Vedic Mindfulness
Vedic Mindfulness: An Ancient Path to Happiness and Inner Resilience offers a clear, experiential guide that reconnects mindfulness with its roots in the Vedic tradition. Moving beyond stress relief and focus, it presents mindfulness as a way of being—one that refines attention, deepens acceptance, and awakens steady awareness. Structured as a journey of self-inquiry, the book helps you step off autopilot, rediscover the power of pause, and cultivate lasting wellbeing. Drawing on Upanishadic wisdom, karma yoga (skilful action without attachment), and jnana yoga (self-knowledge), it turns everyday activities—walking, eating, working, relating—into opportunities for living meditation. Through stories, metaphors, and practical exercises, you learn to meet life’s highs and lows with equanimity and compassion. Written for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this is not a quick fix but a grounded path to resilience, meaning, and present-moment living. An academic appendix, ‘The Vedic Foundations of Secular Mindfulness’, offers research-based insight into the philosophical lineage behind modern mindfulness.
