Life is short, and each one of us are here to play it to our best – and win… by winning, I mean not just material success, but much more than that – a meaningful, self-determined and wonderful journey, where every day is an adventure of sorts, and every encounter one small step towards a little more learning and wisdom. What you read in the following pages is an attempt is to give life tips in bite-sized chunks! You may choose to read the book in the order of the pages, or just browse through in any page which interests you. Every topic is a new insight into how Your LIFE journey can be a shade better, by either imbibing that quality – and just in case that is already there in your ‘armor’, just plain reinforcing it – and passing it on to others. Also, to re-iterate, every page or topic touched upon in the pages of this book has the thought or the seed for a thought, which could have a positive impact on YOUR life, irrespective of what stage YOU are in now. Now to what winning means – not the YOU getting a whole lot of fame, power or even loads of money; I mean more than that for YOU. Winning by doing things that you would love to do more, and in the process, be happy, and get to a level to success as defined by you, only by you! Let’s see how most of us would define the term winning or being successful – most of us have somehow come to the conclusion that winning is synonymous with not having any problems or challenges in this wonderful journey called life. The reason why most of us, including me and you want to be rich and famous – while we may not admit that as blatantly – the fact of the matter is that –we have somehow come to believe that being rich and famous is a sure shot to happiness. Nothing can be far from true – the rich and famous do have come to the point where they are, after playing hard in the game of life, until they reached where they are now – as seen and adored by all of us. So, whats the easy recipe to remain optimistic and joyful? Read on.

Today, we find ourselves surrounded by numerous reasons to despair, from loneliness, suffering and death at an individual level to societal alienation, oppression, sectarian conflict and war. No honest assessment of life can take place without facing up to these facts and it is not surprising that more and more people are beginning to suspect that the human story will end in tragedy. However, this focus on despair does not paint a complete and accurate picture of reality, which is also inflected with beauty and goodness. Working with examples from poetry and literature, including Virginia Woolf and Jack Gilbert and the films of Terrence Malick, Melancholic Joy offers an honest assessment of the human condition. It unflinchingly acknowledges the everyday frustrations and extraordinary horrors that generate despair and argues that the appropriate response is to take up joy again, not in an attempt to ignore or dismiss evil, but rather as part of a “melancholic joy” that accepts the mystery of a world both beautiful and brutal.

Praise for Glad to Be Human “For many years now, the poet, playwright, and memoirist Irene O’Garden has been a hero to me. I think of her as a walking, writing, beam of light. It is my hope that with the release of ‘Glad to be Human’ numberless others will come to know her gifts and, most of all, her captivating talent for wonder and marvel.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of City of Girls and Big Magic “A field guide to embracing the creativity and spontaneity that bring joy to the business of being human.

Stuck in a rut? Need an attitude adjustment? This inspirational classic from American author Helen Keller is bound to fit the bill. Rendered deaf and blind by scarlet fever in her infancy in a time when the disabled were often shunned and ignored, Keller managed to learn to read, write, and speak, not in only in her native English, but in several other languages, as well. Keller regards optimism as "the faith that leads to achievement," and this treatise lays out her views on making the best of even the direst of circumstances.
