New Age HOAX: Manifestation Exposed by Shekhar Kaushik
New Age HOAX: Manifestation Exposed by Shekhar Kaushik | Book Review
In a manner that is both approachable and comprehensible, the book expertly combines modern psychology with profound Indian philosophy. It challenges the notion that the subconscious mind is like a magic wand or that the law of attraction alone is sufficient.
Instead, it shifts our attention to the things that really matter—self-awareness, effort, emotional maturity, and karma. It discusses the distinction between perception and perspective, which we frequently fail to draw a line between; its impact on our lives; superstitions; gender bias; mental health stigma; how perception ignites self-doubt and erases our true intentions; how perception surrenders our creativity; the rigidity of perception, from flexibility to stagnation; and how to break free from perception.
It also discusses how we frequently fail to draw a line between perception and perspective. The Indian philosophical concept of the Antahkaran Chatushtaya—Buddhi (intellect), Mann (emotion), Ahankaar (perception), and Chitt (awareness)—is beautifully explained by the author, along with the importance of comprehending their functions for true self-awareness and conscious living.
This book should be read by everyone, especially young people who only believe in manifestation and ignore the rest.

Smart Kids vs Internet Tricksters by Prisha Dixit , Aman Archika | Book Review
This comic book is entertaining, vibrant, and simple enough for young readers to grasp. It imparts valuable knowledge about internet safety, including how to handle frauds, bullies, and protecting personal information.
Five illustrated stories that follow the experiences of five children—Lily, Amelia, Emma, Alex, and Akiko—as they encounter various risks while using the internet are included in the book. The book examines the various threats that are present in cyberspace, including malware, phishing assaults, and account hacking.
In addition to warning children about potential risks, the book instructs them what to do in the event that they come across any potential scam. Young readers can learn about the risks associated with the internet by reading these stories.
Each of them is placed in situations that are incredibly realistic and highly relatable. The author takes the reader on different scenarios like responding to a suspicious email, facing cyberbullying or accidentally revealing personal details online. The narrative introduces the readers to vital internet safety issue in each chapter. The solutions to these problems never feel forced as they unfold through gentle guidance, often by a trusted adult, making the learning feel natural rather than dictating.
Overall, this book teaches the children that being “Smart” online is not just about knowing how to use technology. Instead it guides the ways to use technology wisely and safely! I liked reading this book and would recommend this book to all.
