Some people are simply great at their job. They always seem to say the right thing; do the right thing. They are mentioned in every conversation. Everybody likes them. They get promoted. They get pay raises. They get along with the boss. And somehow, they do all these things without being unpleasant, breaking much of a sweat or seeming to put in excess effort. And when they are offered another step up the corporate ladder or a fabulous new job, no one is surprised. After all, they have 'potential' written all over them. How do they do it? Do they know some secret we don't? Yes, they know The Rules of Work. These rules aren't about how to do your job, day-to-day (assuming you are pretty good at that already). The Rules of Work are about how you are seen to be doing it. They are about how you appear to others. And they are about helping you to achieve the success you richly deserve. The first edition of The Rules of Work became a global phenomenon, topping bestseller charts around the world. This new, even better, edition includes 10 brand new rules to take you further, faster. These rules are the guiding principles that will improve both what you do and how you do it, giving you the unmistakable air of confidence that will win you admiration, respect, and the next promotion. With The Rules under your belt you'll have the edge in everything you do, without having to compromise your principles.

The young Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from repeated nightmares of living a double life, in which by day he worked as a respectable doctor and by night he roamed the back alleys of old-town Edinburgh. In three days of furious writing, he produced a story about his dream existence. His wife found it too gruesome, so he promptly burned the manuscript. In another three days, he wrote it again. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published as a "shilling shocker" in 1886, and became an instant classic. In the first six months, 40,000 copies were sold. Queen Victoria read it. Sermons and editorials were written about it. When Stevenson and his family visited America a year later, they were mobbed by reporters at the dock in New York City. Compulsively readable from its opening pages, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is still one of the best tales ever written about the divided self.

This University of Nebraska Press edition is a small, exquisitely produced paperback. The book design, based on the original first edition of 1886, includes wide margins, decorative capitals on the title page and first page of each chapter, and a clean, readable font that is 19th-century in style. Joyce Carol Oates contributes a foreword in which she calls Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a "mythopoetic figure" like Frankenstein, Dracula, and Alice in Wonderland, and compares Stevenson's creation to doubled selves in the works of Plato, Poe, Wilde, and Dickens.

This edition also features 12 full-page wood engravings by renowned illustrator Barry Moser. Moser is a skillful reader and interpreter as well as artist, and his afterword to the book, in which he explains the process by which he chose a self-portrait motif for the suite of engravings, is fascinating. For the image of Edward Hyde, he writes, "I went so far as to have my dentist fit me out with a carefully sculpted prosthetic of evil-looking teeth. But in the final moments I had to abandon the idea as being inappropriate. It was more important to stay in keeping with the text and, like Stevenson, not show Hyde's face."

A Q&A with Sri Vishwanath

Question: Why did you decide to write Seven Spiritual Strategies?

Sri Vishwanath: Seven Spiritual Strategies is a culmination of more than seven years and more than 10,000 hours of constantly evolving thought. During this process I wrote ten best-selling books on spirituality, got admitted thrice to a hospital’s intensive care unit, struggled with my personal goals, and had a troubled relationship.. I realised that if you want to achieve anything in life you need strategies. I wanted to gift the readers and myself something more than wisdom and philosophy. something more tangible ..one could hold on to in their daily life… In many ways the book wrote itself through me.

Q: What makes Seven Spiritual Strategies different from other spiritual and self help books?

SV:The heart of Seven Spiritual strategies is the discovery of the Enlightenment Code.. Chapter 8 reveals the Ecode(the enlightenment code) Who would believe me when I say I was enlightened without a guru and without having spent years in a Himalayan cave?

I had hit upon the superior method, and reached the ultimate destination. The superior method is all that you need to experience this sublime feeling. Everything else is secondary. The usual methods used to attract and inveigle you into the world of spirituality are inferior and should be recognized for what they are. But with the Ecode you’re now on the right track and not likely to be ever derailed.

Q: Do you have a favorite chapter or section of Seven Spiritual Strategies?

SV:That’s a good question. My favourite sections change every week:) Chapter 4 is my pick. It has got two contrasting stories of what “powerful connection” with the self can really help you achieve and how it can dramatically influence, improve and help you get rid of mental blocks. I also love Chapter 8(The enlightenment code) that evolved as I was writing the book.

Q: Why do you say that enlightenment is easy?

SV:There is a popular Buddhist saying “First enlightenment then laundry” . Enlightenment was always meant to be easy. It was never complex. The lifes that we chose to live after being enlightened is in many ways a complex one. If you get access to world class teachers in spirituality there is no reason you cannot be enlightened in less than eight hours.. What you do after being enlightened is the real challenge..


Q: Who is this book written for?

SV:This book is written for both men and women who have a burning desire to get in touch with the better part of their personality. You will gain instant clarity on some of the most seemingly complex questions of human life . Your thoughts will become crystal clear, your mind calm like never before and your energy vibrant and ready to gift you the best things in life. It’s also great for kids as they will enjoy the contrasting stories and the seeds of enlightenment will be automatically sowed in them. This book would make a great family tool, or even a tool for spiritual clubs or friends discussing arm chair philosophy to serve as a benchmark for spiritual evolution.

It's a fresh way to interact with a treasured book of hope that will be read, watched, and re-watched by you and by generations to come.

The spiritual premise in The Purpose-Driven Life is that there are no accidents---God planned everything and everyone. Therefore, every human has a divine purpose, according to God's master plan. Like a twist on John F. Kennedy's famous inaugural address, this book could be summed up like this: "So my fellow Christians, ask not what God can do for your life plan, ask what your life can do for God's plan." Those who are looking for advice on finding one's calling through career choice, creative expression, or any form of self-discovery should go elsewhere. This is not about self-exploration; it is about purposeful devotion to a Christian God. The book is set up to be a 40-day immersion plan, recognizing that the Bible favors the number 40 as a "spiritually significant time," according to author Rick Warren, the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, touted as one of the nation largest congregations. Warren's hope is that readers will "interact" with the 40 chapters, reading them one day at a time, with extensive underlining and writing in the margins. As an inspirational manifesto for creating a more worshipful, church-driven life, this book delivers. Every page is laden with references to scripture or dogma. But it does not do much to address the challenges of modern Christian living, with its competing material, professional, and financial distractions. Nonetheless, this is probably an excellent resource for devout Christians who crave a jumpstart back to worshipfulness. --Gail Hudson
