Emily Oster
Oster is a self-described data nerd, a delightful contrarian who dared question the status quo, shush the shamers and tell parents what made sense. ― The New York Times Book Review
A targeted mini-MBA program designed to help moms and dads establish best practices for day-to-day operations … Because this is an Oster book, there’s data scattered everywhere – on the development of reading skills by age … It’s all presented in the breezy, skeptical style that’s made Oster’s work a must-read for parents who don’t have the time to investigate Finnish studies about integrating extracurriculars into the school day. ― Washington Post
A guide … to chart a child’s path with less stress and more optimization for healthy habits and future success. ― TIME Magazine
Oster’s prose flows well (as usual) lightly sprinkled with the dry wit that suffuses her other books. ― Salon
Oster offers a plethora of rational guidance for parents of kids between pre-K and middle school in this eminently practical guide. ― Publishers Weekly
Merging a business approach with her trademark empowering voice, Emily dispenses the stress-less advice you actually want. — Audrey Goodson Kingo ― Working Mother
With Oster’s help, rather than fear this next stage of parenting, readers can embrace (and even enjoy) the challenge. ― Booklist
Emily Oster dives into the data on parenting issues, cuts through the clutter, and gives families the bottom line to help them make better decisions. Her books on pregnancy and toddlers skyrocketed her to parenting-world fame, and now she’s back, crunching the numbers on topics that keep parents with school-age kids up at night. ― Good Morning America

Rs. 1,890.00or 3 X Rs.630.00 withRead moreRachel Hollis
Rachel Hollis sees you. As the millions who read her Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, attend her RISE conferences and follow her on social media know, she also wants to see you transform. When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them.
But, as Rachel writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you. With humor, honesty and true-life stories, in Didn’t See that Coming Rachel Hollis shares how to embrace the difficult moments in life for the learning experiences they are, and that a life well-lived is one of purpose and focused on the essentials. This is a small book about big feelings, inspirational, aspirational, and an anchor that shows that darkness can co-exist with the beautiful.

The Story of My Life
Rs. 1,190.00or 3 X Rs.396.67 withRead moreHelen Keller
When she was 19 months old, Helen Keller (1880–1968) suffered a severe illness that left her blind and deaf. Not long after, she also became mute. Her tenacious struggle to overcome these handicaps-with the help of her inspired teacher, Anne Sullivan-is one of the great stories of human courage and dedication.
In this classic autobiography, first published in 1903, Miss Keller recounts the first 22 years of her life, including the magical moment at the water pump when, recognizing the connection between the word “water” and the cold liquid flowing over her hand, she realized that objects had names.
Subsequent experiences were equally noteworthy: her joy at eventually learning to speak, her friendships with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edward Everett Hale and other notables, her education at Radcliffe (from which she graduated cum laude), and-underlying all-her extraordinary relationship with Miss Sullivan, who showed a remarkable genius for communicating with her eager and quick-to-learn pupil.
