HarperCollins India is proud to announce the upcoming publication of the second book

New Delhi [India], September 7 (PRNewswire): HarperCollins India will publish 8 Rules of Love by No. 1 podcast host of On Purpose and global bestselling author Jay Shetty, releasing on 31st January 2023.

Talking about the book, Jay Shetty says, "This book is not about finding the perfect person or relationship and leaving the rest to chance. I want to help you intentionally build love instead of wishing, wanting, and waiting for it to arrive fully formed. Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love, so we're often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. I want to help you deal with the challenges and imperfections we encounter on the journey to love. I want you to create a love that grows every day, expanding and evolving rather than achieved and complete. We can't know where and when we'll find love, but we can prepare for it and practice what we've learned when we find it. Love is about learning to love ourselves in order to love others. I hope this book helps you do just that."

About the Book 8 Rules of Love is an intentional and focused guide to developing and deepening relationships. Sharing insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why one doesn't break in a break-up, Jay Shetty shows readers that they can love themselves, their partner, and the world better than they ever thought possible. As he did with Think Like a Monk, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition, as well as his specific coaching practice and modern social science, to bring profound insight to the universal condition of loving and being loved in 8 simple steps. In a world awash in guides to romance, 8 Rules of Love is a genuinely fresh take. It doesn't include pickup lines to grab people's attention or give advice on how to change oneself or one's partner. Instead, 8 Rules of Love is about embracing individual preferences and hopes, so readers don't waste time on people who aren't good for them. It's about learning how to display values, and letting go of any anger, greed, ego, self-doubt, and confusion that clouds a person's heart and interferes with their ability to love. Shetty lays out specific, actionable steps to help readers develop the skills to practice and nurture love. He tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to marriage to kids to breaking up and starting over. And he shows how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners, helping readers recognize when it's time to let love go. Use these rules, exercises and guidance to not only live, but love the best life as one seeks to forge strong, nurturing and lasting relationships with those closest - as well as those one has yet to meet.

J.K. Rowling's new book features a character murdered after being accused of transphobia

Washington [US], September 1: Author JK Rowling, who made headlines for sharing her controversial views on transgender rights lately, has come up with a new novel that involves a storyline about a woman who is killed after being accused of transphobia.

In conversation with Graham Norton, Rowling told that her new novel, "The Ink Black Heart," is not based on her own experience being slammed as transphobic despite featuring a character who finds herself in a similar social media firestorm, Variety reported. "I should make it really clear after some of the things that have happened the last year that this is not depicting [that]," Rowling said to Norton, asserting that her own fight against claims of transphobia had nothing to do with inspiring the book. "I had written the book before certain things happened to me online. I said to my husband, 'I think everyone is going to see this as a response to what happened to me,' but it genuinely wasn't.

The first draft of the book was finished at the point certain things happened." As reported by Rolling Stone, the character in the novel is "doxxed with photos of her home plastered on the internet, subjected to death and rape threats for having an opinion, and is ultimately found stabbed to death in a cemetery. IN 2020, Rowling posted a tweet mocking an article that made reference to "people who menstruate," urging writers to use the term "woman." The statement annoyed many fans, who condemned the comments as transphobic, to which she responded on Twitter. Rowling wrote, "If sex isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn't hate to speak the truth." Several "Harry Potter" stars have spoken out against Rowling for her beliefs, including Daniel Radcliffe. The actor wrote a letter that "transgender women are women... Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I."

Earlier this year, Rowling feuded online with Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, over the country's Gender Recognition Reform Bill, which aims to simplify the means by which a transgender person can legally change their gender through obtaining a gender recognition certificate. The certificate allows a trans person to receive a new birth certificate with their correct gender.
