Kamal Ravikant

In December of 2011, I gave a talk to an audience of scientists, Pentagon officials, politicians, and CEOs on the secret of life and how I'd figured it out the previous summer. Afterwards, people came up individually and told me how much what I'd shared meant to them. This book is based on the truth I spoke about.It's something I learned from within myself, something I believed saved me. And more than that, the way I set about to do it. This is a collection of thoughts on what I learned, what worked, what didn't. Where I succeed and importantly, where I fail daily.The truth is to love yourself with the same intensity you would use to pull yourself up if you were hanging off a cliff with your fingers. As if your life depended upon it. Once you get going, it's not hard to do. Just takes commitment and I'll share how I did it. It's been transformative for me. I know it will be transformative for you as well.

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on it

From the author of the bestsellers Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It and Live Your Truth comes Rebirth, an inspiring novel about the magic that happens when you learn to follow your heart. After the death of his estranged father, Amit takes his parent's ashes to the Ganges to fulfill a deathbed promise. Instead of returning home, he wanders, his pain and grief leaving him confused about his future. Almost broke, unsure about his direction in life, and running from memories, he is led by fate to the Camino de Santiago, an ancient 550-mile pilgrimage route across northern Spain. Amit meets a variety of travelers on his journey. Some are lost and searching for answers. Others are doing their best to leave the past behind. And there are a few who walk to celebrate life. All have stories and lessons to share. Once a reluctant pilgrim, Amit realizes he cannot stop until he completes the journey. As a traveler tells him, "Once you start walking the Camino, the Camino becomes a part of you." With each step Amit is challenged to confront his fear of following in the footsteps of his father, the loss of a woman he may love after all, and the reality of an uncertain future. His month-long pilgrimage forces Amit to face life's big questions, and causes him to grow and embrace a new sense of purpose and being. Based on the author's experience of walking the legendary Camino de Santiago, and told in the tradition of Paulo Coelho and Mitch Albom, Rebirth is a beautiful fable about forgiveness, synchronicity, and the unexpected adventures that reveal who we are.

Live Your Truth

• Una novela inspiradora sobre la magia que se crea cuando se aprende a seguir tu corazón. • Un libro revelador que invitará al lector a reflexionar sobre aspectos importantes de la vida, a crecer y a adoptar un nuevo propósito de ser. • Todo el mundo se encuentra a sí mismo en el Camino. Bregando con el dolor del pasado y la incertidumbre del futuro, el norteamericano Amit emprende el Camino de Santiago en busca de respuestas. Lo que empezó siendo poco más que una huida, fruto de una decisión casual, se convierte a lo largo del peregrinaje de Roncesvalles a Santiago en una experiencia profundamente transformadora, marcada por los momentos mágicos y los encuentros significativos. Kilómetro a kilómetro, una flecha interior empezará a marcar el rumbo en el corazón de Amit, tan clara como esa que indica el Camino a los peregrinos, según la frase de un caminante se va revelando más y más real: a veces es necesario perderse para encontrarse. Basado en su propia experiencia en el Camino de Santiago, el libro de Kamal Ravikant es un relato transformador sobre el renacer que experimentamos cuando abrimos el corazón y decimos sí a la vida. En la línea de Paulo Coelho o Mitch Albom, una fábula deliciosa sobre la renuncia, la sincronicidad y el encuentro con uno mismo, que resonará profundamente en aquellos que ya conocen el Camino y encenderá la llama de quienes aún no lo han emprendido.

Renacer

A fost cât pe ce să nu public această carte. Pentru că îmi era frică. Eram un preşedinte executiv care avusese o cădere nervoasă după ce compania lui dăduse faliment și care scrisese despre cum se salvase cu ajutorul iubirii față de propria persoană. Credeam că m‑aș fi făcut de râs și cariera mea ar fi luat sfârșit. Dar mi‑am învins frica și am împărtășit celorlalți adevărul descoperit de mine: iubirea de sine. Ceea ce s‑a întâmplat apoi mi‑a schimbat viața. Cartea a fost un succes. Oameni minunați din întreaga lume au scris despre ea pe rețelele de socializare. Au cumpărat‑o pentru prieteni și pentru familie. Au publicat recenzii minunate despre ea. Unora cartea aceasta chiar le‑a salvat viața. Iar pe alţii i‑a ajutat să se iubească pe sine pentru prima dată. Scriind această carte, scopul meu a fost ca, după ce o vei fi citit, nu doar să fii hotărât să te iubești pe tine însuți, ci și să știi exact cum anume se face. Și, cel mai important, cum să te asiguri că iubirea de sine te va însoţi toată viaţa.

Iubește-te ca și cum viața ta ar depinde de asta

Liebe dich selbst, als hinge dein Leben davon ab

De boodschap van Kamal Ravikant is even eenvoudig als geniaal: beloof dat je van jezelf houdt. Onvoorwaardelijk, met heel je hart, met elke gedachte en in elke seconde. Hij gaf dit advies aan zichzelf toen hij flink in de put zat. Een vriend raadde hem aan zijn aantekeningen en gedachten op papier te zetten. Ravikant maakte er een e-book van, en dat werd een ongekend succes: meer dan 300.000 verkochte exemplaren en meer dan 3.000 positieve lezersreacties. De uitgebreide editie verschijnt nu voor het eerst in het Nederlands. Love Yourself (alsof je leven ervan afhangt) is geen wollige flauwekul, maar de waarheid van een man die het concept ‘zelfliefde’ een nieuwe invulling gaf, en zichzelf daarmee redde. ‘Je moet van jezelf houden met dezelfde overgave als waarmee je jezelf zou optrekken als je met je vingertoppen aan de rand van een afgrond hangt. Alsof je leven ervan afhangt.’
