Kamal Ravikant

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.

I almost didn't publish Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It .  I was terrified.  Here I was, a CEO who'd fallen apart after his company failed, writing a book about how loving himself saved him.  I thought I'd be a laughing stock and my career would be finished.    But I stepped through the fears and shared my truth with the world.  What happened next changed my life.   The book went viral.  Amazing people all over shared it online and on social media.  They bought copies for friends and family.  They wrote heartfelt reviews.  For some, this book literally saved their lives.  For others, it was the first time they ever loved themselves.    To think how close I was to giving into my fears.  An important life lesson.   Many readers reached out and showed me how they'd applied it.  They asked questions.  This taught me that, despite its success, what I'd shared wasn't enough.  To create lasting impact, I had to go deeper and share a lot more.  I owed it to this book.  I owed it to everyone who would read it.    So, seven years after I first put it out, here it is.  All the questions I received, resolved.  My intention is that by the time you finish, not only will you be committed to loving yourself, you'll know exactly how to do it.  And most importantly, how to make it last.   This version, although it contains the original, is significantly expanded - over four times as big.  And from all the feedback I've received, much more helpful in a practical way.  I hope it serves you well.   Thank you,   Kamal

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.

Um peregrino. Uma morte e uma separação. E uma lição inesquecível, no caminho de Santiago.Esta é a história de um homem que procura um sentido para a vida. E que só o encontra no Caminho de Santiago. Amit é americano, está na Índia, leva consigo as cinzas do pai, para as libertar nas águas do Rio Ganges. Amargurado, triste, chegou a um ponto em que nada parece fazer sentido. Não acredita em Deus, na meditação, no trabalho ou no amor. À procura de respostas, os seus passos conduzem-no a Dharamsala, a pequena aldeia no sopé dos Himalaias onde vive o Dalai Lama. Um monge que encontra pelo caminho, e a quem pede conselhos, conta-lhe um segredo: para encontrar a paz é preciso dizer que sim a tudo, dizer que sim à vida. Não é esta, porém, a resposta que Amit procura. De volta à pousada, ao fim do dia, conhece um italiano que sonha em fazer o mítico Caminho de Santiago: “Todos se encontram a si próprios no Caminho”, diz ele. “Todos. Sem o saber, Amit já começou a peregrinação. Em breve chegará a Espanha, onde o esperam 850 quilómetros de uma longa caminhada, que completará em 37 dias. Através de paisagens de uma beleza de cortar a respiração, o relutante peregrino descobre que não está só. Há sempre alguém que o acompanha, há histórias para partilhar, amizades que nascem e crescem à beira da estrada. Renascer é um romance mágico que na tradição das obras de Paulo Coelho e Mitch Albom nos fala do perdão, das coincidências, e do amor que renasce das cinzas.
