2) Self Love - the power within you by Aaira Kaurr

This book is unique in the sense that it makes you aware of a miracle ingredient necessary for your flowering and becoming the best version of yourself, self love. If you don’t love your own self first, you can’t love anyone else, be it a person, a profession or anything else. No matter, how much effort you put in or how good or brilliant you are, you will be disappointed in the end in all your ventures, in spite of your high achievements. Without self love, others will enjoy and exploit your talents, you won’t. This book not only explains the concept of self love, but gives you a systematic framework for imbibing it in your life. In fact, you already have it in you, you just need to turn it on. The book has been divided into three chapters. The first one being “What is love?” followed by the second chapter & What is self love?” and again followed by the third chapter “How to empower with Self Love?”

3) Bedazzle by Shamoly Khera

Bedazzle by Shamoly Khera is about the art and science of eternal confidence. What makes a person confident? What affects a person’s confidence adversely and why is this even important? Where does that confidence come from, despite of a past failure and what can we learn from this? How do animals with lesser thinking capacity step out to hunt, deeply motivated every single day, despite a previous failed attempt?

Bedazzle deconstructs the core aspects of subconscious motivation in all such scenarios and handpicks the triggers to understand confidence at a deeper level so that anyone can use it to their best advantage.
