I've been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences in my life so far. I've trekked to one of the highest base camps in the Himalayas, meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama's monastery, earned my US Army Infantry patch, walked 550 miles across Spain, lived in Paris, been the only non-black, non-woman member of the Black Women's writers' group, written a novel, held the hands of dying patients, and worked with some of the best people in Silicon Valley. But the most transformative experience has been the simple act of loving myself.

In December of 2011, I gave a talk to an audience of scientists, Pentagon officials, politicians, and CEO's 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.

Inspired by the author's own pilgrimage of walking the legendary Camino de Santiago across Spain comes Rebirth, a novel of reconciliation and forgiveness.After losing his estranged father, Amit wanders across Europe and embarks on the five-hundred and fifty mile Camino de Santiago to reconcile his inner conflict. It is on this path that he begins reflecting on relationships and forgiveness, to find answers we all seek. As Amit runs from his life, it soon becomes clear that it's impossible to run from himself. It is a universal pilgrimage, and a teaching-tale about love, forgiveness, and facing our fears.Told in the traditions of Paulo Coelho and Mitch Albom, the story gets to the heart of some of life's most enlightening lessons about family, devotion, and ambition.
We don't stumble accidentally into an amazing life. It takes a conscious commitment to figuring out what we stand for - finding our truth. It begins by looking inside ourselves, because when it rises from within, we have no choice but to express it, to live it. That is when magic fulfillment, happiness, relationships and success. The question How? With meditations on love, healing, entrepreneurship, overcoming failure, vulnerability, fear, the nature of the mind and the rhythm of life, "Live Your Truth" is a guide to this crucial journey of self-exploration and personal discovery. The follow up to his runaway bestseller "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It," Kamal Ravikant takes you on his journey, in the hope that it will help you find your truth and inspire you to live it. Prepare to be your best self.
A fost cat pe ce sa nu public aceasta carte. Pentru ca imi era frica. Eram un presedinte executiv care avusese o cadere nervoasa dupa ce compania lui daduse faliment si care scrisese despre cum se salvase cu ajutorul iubirii fata de propria persoana. Credeam ca m ‘as fi facut de ras si cariera mea ar fi luat sfarsit. Dar mi ‘am invins frica si am impartasit celorlalti adevarul descoperit de iubirea de sine. Ceea ce s ‘a intamplat apoi mi ‘a schimbat viata. Cartea a fost un succes. Oameni minunati din intreaga lume au scris despre ea pe retelele de socializare. Au cumparat ‘o pentru prieteni si pentru familie. Au publicat recenzii minunate despre ea. Unora cartea aceasta chiar le ‘a salvat viata. Iar pe altii i ‘a ajutat sa se iubeasca pe sine pentru prima data. Scriind aceasta carte, scopul meu a fost ca, dupa ce o vei fi citit, nu doar sa fii hotarat sa te iubesti pe tine insuti, ci si sa stii exact cum anume se face. si, cel mai important, cum sa te asiguri ca iubirea de sine te va insoti toata viata. Kamal Ravikant a meditat cu calugari din Himalaya, a fost infanterist in armata americana si a facut pelerinajul la Santiago de Compostela, mergand pe jos aproape 900 de kilometri, experienta care a stat la baza romanului sau Rebirth, publicat in 2017. Este cofondatorul mai multor companii si al unei firme de investitii in Silicon Valley. Calatoreste mult, asa ca i-ar fi greu sa spuna unde locuieste
