The Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing

A Novel

By: Mira Jacob

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A winning, irreverent debut novel about a family wrestling with its future and its past “With wit and a rich understanding of human foibles, [Mira] Jacob unspools a story that will touch your heart.”—People ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Boston Globe, The Millions, Kirkus Reviews With depth, heart, and agility, debut novelist Mira Jacob takes us on a deftly plotted journey that ranges from 1970s India to suburban 1980s New Mexico to Seattle during the dot.com boom. The Sleepwalker’s Guide to Dancing is an epic, irreverent testimony to the bonds of love, the pull of hope, and the power of making peace with life’s uncertainties. Celebrated brain surgeon Thomas Eapen has been sitting on his porch, talking to dead relatives. At least that is the story his wife, Kamala, prone to exaggeration, tells their daughter, Amina, a photographer living in Seattle. Reluctantly Amina returns home and finds a situation that is far more complicated than her mother let on, with roots in a trip the family, including Amina’s rebellious brother Akhil, took to India twenty years earlier. Confronted by Thomas’s unwillingness to explain himself, strange looks from the hospital staff, and a series of puzzling items buried in her mother’s garden, Amina soon realizes that the only way she can help her father is by coming to terms with her family’s painful past. In doing so, she must reckon with the ghosts that haunt all of the Eapens.

Coconut Country Musings

By: Jacob C Varghese

On a lazy vacation or travel, when one wants to read an enjoyable light literature, then Coconut Country Musings is the right pick. It is a collection of short stories, ruminations of a random wanderer and dateless notes on life’s tipping points. Through the pages, we meet many familiar characters, the way they talk, think and act. As someone commented, “Many of us think of writing these stories from life but never get around to doing it.” Do you like reading an amusing letter from a friend? Then Coconut Country Musings will compel you to read the stories more than once. The writer sits next to you and entertains with his dramatic descriptions. He will engage you in a conversation that will take you through nature, make you feel and smell its salubrious ambience. And there are memories of a familiar childhood and episodes of youthful adventures. You may face surprises, accidental meetings and a few sagacious axioms that would pep you up. If the reader lived in the last three decades of the last century in India, then you can relate with the writer. If you are a millennial kid, you meet an uncle who lived in that sliver of land in the south of India, Kerala – the Coconut Country.

The Future Leader

9 Skills and Mindsets to Succeed in the Next Decade

By: Jacob Morgan

Are you a future-ready leader? Based on exclusive interviews with over 140 of the world's top CEOs and a survey of nearly 14,000 people. Do you have the right mindsets and skills to be able to lead effectively in the next ten years and beyond? Most individuals and organizations don’t even know what leadership will look like in the future. Until now. There has been a lot written about leadership for the present day, but the world is changing quickly. What worked in the past won’t work in the future. We need to know how to prepare leaders who can successfully navigate and guide us through the next decade and beyond. How is leadership changing, and why? How ready are leaders today for these changes? What should leaders do now? To answer these questions, Jacob interviewed over 140 CEOs from companies like Unilever, Mastercard, Best Buy, Oracle, Verizon, Kaiser, KPMG, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Yum! Brands, Saint-Gobain, Dominos, Philip Morris International, and over a hundred others. Jacob also partnered with Linkedin to survey almost 14,000 of their members around the globe to see how CEO insights align with employee perspectives The majority of the world's top business leaders that Jacob interviewed believe that while some core aspects of leadership will remain the same, such as creating a vision and executing on strategy, leaders of the future will need a new arsenal of skills and mindsets to succeed. What emerged from all of this research is the most accurate groundbreaking book on the future of leadership, which shares exclusive insights from the world's top CEOs and never before seen research. After reading it, you will: Learn the greatest trends impacting the future of leadership and their implications Understand the top skills and mindsets that leaders of the future will need to possess and how to learn them Change your perception of who a leader is and what leadership means Tackle the greatest challenges that leaders of the future will face See the gap that exists between what CEOs identified versus what employees are actually experiencing Become a future-ready leader This is the book that you, your team, and your organization must read in order to lead in the future of work.

Taking in the Good Based Bibliotherapy

A Novel Treatment for Adolescent Depression

By: Dr. John Jacob

Human life is a combination of positive and negative experiences. Although there is an infinite number of positive experiences in life, people are prone to take in negative ones in their daily lives. When people become depressed, there is a swing in their brain states and the patterns that direct attention, thinking, and behavior in specific ways, mainly with regard to losses and threats. Memories of earlier losses and threats are activated. Attention and focusing on positive events become difficult. Focusing on negative events, including the autobiographical memory, becomes easy. Moreover, depressed people markedly seek and take in negative experiences due to their negative life experiences, events, and dysfunctional cognitive appraisals. Psychological intervention is one of the most commonly sought forms of help when the female adolescents experience depression. As the world of the adolescents alters radically, mental health professionals must be equipped with proficient strategy to address the various aspects of depression. Since the theory on taking in the good proposes a new therapy approach with effective positive neuroplasticity strategy as important ingredients, it is to be expected that a combined intervention program based on this theory and principles of bibliotherapy would be dexterous enough to address depression in all its heterogeneous nature.

Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship

By: Laura Brueck,Jacob Smith,Neil Verma

From the cinema to the recording studio to public festival grounds, the range and sonic richness of Indian cultures can be heard across the subcontinent. Sound articulates communal difference and embodies specific identities for multiple publics. This diversity of sounds has been and continues to be crucial to the ideological construction of a unifying postcolonial Indian nation-state. Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship addresses the multifaceted roles sound plays in Indian cultures and media, and enacts a sonic turn in South Asian Studies by understanding sound in its own social and cultural contexts. “Scapes, Sites, and Circulations” considers the spatial and circulatory ways in which sound “happens” in and around Indian sound cultures, including diasporic cultures. “Voice” emphasizes voices that embody a variety of struggles and ambiguities, particularly around gender and performance. Finally, “Cinema Sound” make specific arguments about film sound in the Indian context, from the earliest days of talkie technology to contemporary Hindi films and experimental art installations. Integrating interdisciplinary scholarship at the nexus of sound studies and South Asian Studies by questions of nation/nationalism, postcolonialism, cinema, and popular culture in India, Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship offers fresh and sophisticated approaches to the sonic world of the subcontinent.

The Christ who Embraces

An Orthodox Theology of Margins

By: Jacob Joseph

Jacob Joseph's book, The Christ who Embraces: An Orthodox Theology of Margins, explores the intersection of Orthodox Christian mission and caste dynamics among St. Thomas/Syrian/Orthodox Christians in India. It defines a liturgical touch or embrace in the context of 'untouchability,' where people identify as equal without discrimination, reflecting the inseparable unity of Christ's transcendental (divine) and immanent (human) nature.

The Mountain of the Lord of Thoma, the Mountain of the God of Thoma

By: Jacob Chacko Tony

There is a natural evolution in the way we understand the person of Jesus. We will identify Him initially as a good man, a prophet, a miracle worker and a savior. However, if we walk with Him further and dare to converse with Him daily, we would eventually come to the understanding of Saint Thomas the apostle that Jesus was none other than the Lord of the Universe and the God of the universe. These are my conversations and meditations about Jesus and His church, while walking with doubting Thoma (Thomas). Thoma is dear to me, as he converted my forefather's to the "Way" of Jesus twenty centuries ago. I pray for Thoma's intercession before the throne of God for the Holy Catholic and apostolic church. Dr Jacob Chacko Tony is a Neurologist, currently residing in Peoria, Illinois with his wife Honey Mary and children Kavitha and Kevin. He is also the author of the book "Ninety Ninth Step To My Father's Hill

For God Or Empire

Sayyid Fadl and the Indian Ocean World

By: Wilson Chacko Jacob

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

For God Or Empire

Sayyid Fadl and the Indian Ocean World

By: Wilson Chacko Jacob

Sayyid Fadl, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, led a unique life--one that spanned much of the nineteenth century and connected India, Arabia, and the Ottoman Empire. For God or Empire tells his story, part biography and part global history, as his life and legacy afford a singular view on historical shifts of power and sovereignty, religion and politics. Wilson Chacko Jacob recasts the genealogy of modern sovereignty through the encounter between Islam and empire-states in the Indian Ocean world. Fadl's travels in worlds seen and unseen made for a life that was both unsettled and unsettling. And through his life at least two forms of sovereignty--God and empire--become apparent in intersecting global contexts of religion and modern state formation. While these changes are typically explained in terms of secularization of the state and the birth of rational modern man, the life and afterlives of Sayyid Fadl--which take us from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Indian Ocean worlds to twenty-first century cyberspace--offer a more open-ended global history of sovereignty and a more capacious conception of life.
