The Therapy of Peace
Peace can't be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding - Albert Einstein.You know, our next hour depends on how we live our present hour. Our next day depends on how we lived our last day. It happens because our mind feeds is the result of our daily thoughts, ideas, and information. In the 21st century, peace is unadorned & nothing until we lose it. In this generation, getting cheerful and not pitiful, both are different. The challenge is not to feel awful, and we will experience peace. When we talk about peace in our lives, we should also think about happiness, but both are different for humans. Peace is the primary state of mind before happiness.The Therapy of Peace is the illustrated edition to understand & feel the depth of peace as an art. Peace is like the origin of the human graph, & to attain happiness, first, we need to accept peace. Deepak Gupta believes Calmness is the disciplined efforts of sensible people and can be achieved with practice.
Average Mind: The World is not the Wonder. It's the Wonder which makes your World
'Genius minds are born not created is simply an illusion for those who think they are not genius.'Average mind concept was much back-breaking for me to formulate and present my ideas in a well-defined manner. I was a bit concerned whether the readers would like the book or not. Coping up with my environment, I was much embarrassed with people around me where everyone wants to become genius, leaving their all attributes aside. Initially, it pierced me, but I was a little stubborn to discover the truth of our lives. We are living in an age where everyone wants to get inspired but a little wants to inspire others. Ironic. Even this book was not the planned one, but I want to share it with the readers so they can understand what life possesses in average mind than to become a genius mind.'The World is not the Wonder. It's the Wonder which makes your World.'
