Incomplete Love Story

“Charming. . . . A moving testament to the diversity and depths of love.” —Publishers Weekly You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be swept away—in less time than it takes to read this paragraph. Here are 175 true stories—honest, funny, tender and wise—each as moving as a lyric poem, all told in no more than one hundred words. An electrician lights up a woman’s life, a sister longs for her homeless brother, strangers dream of what might have been. Love lost, found and reclaimed. Love that’s romantic, familial, platonic and unexpected. Most of all, these stories celebrate love as it exists in real life: a silly remark that leads to a lifetime together, a father who struggles to remember his son, ordinary moments that burn bright.

Love is a delicate and soft emotion by its very nature. It’s very easy to love someone but difficult to endure. When we love someone, we have to accept their virtues and vices, and sometimes we face the consequences of that acceptance. Nobody is always right or wrong; their behavior depends upon the conditions. It’s very difficult to understand, but still, we should accept the truth. Misunderstanding is a very big wall that can part people. Love doesn’t teach us extreme hate. Humans think of love in terms of profit and loss, forgetting that love is something that involves giving only. It is wrong to say that if you love someone they must love you back. This is a mistake we make. When there is selfishness in love, then the originality of love gets lost. Love is the golden thread that ties us up in one beautiful garland called relationship. This relationship is a great world of emotions for which we live our whole lives, ready to sacrifice. This book is a small attempt to untie this emotional world.

Peter Sagal, the host of NPR’s Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me! and a popular columnist for Runner’s World, shares “commentary and reflection about running with a deeply felt personal story, this book is winning, smart, honest, and affecting. Whether you are a runner or not, it will move you” (Susan Orlean). On the verge of turning forty, Peter Sagal—brainiac Harvard grad, short bald Jew with a disposition towards heft, and a sedentary star of public radio—started running seriously. And much to his own surprise, he kept going, faster and further, running fourteen marathons and logging tens of thousands of miles on roads, sidewalks, paths, and trails all over the United States and the world, including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings. In The Incomplete Book of Running, Sagal reflects on the trails, tracks, and routes he’s traveled, from the humorous absurdity of running charity races in his underwear—in St. Louis, in February—or attempting to “quiet his colon” on runs around his neighborhood—to the experience of running as a guide to visually impaired runners, and the triumphant post-bombing running of the Boston Marathon in 2014. With humor and humanity, Sagal also writes about the emotional experience of running, body image, the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the legacy of running as passed down from parent to child, and the odd but extraordinary bonds created between strangers and friends. The result is “a brilliant book about running…What Peter runs toward is strength, understanding, endurance, acceptance, faith, hope, and charity” (P.J. O’Rourke).

Spiritual Intelligence refers to the intuitive knowledge of the self, others, situations and techniques to achieve the desired objectives. Hence it can be called the soul of all intelligences. Spiritual Intelligence enhances our power to inspire others by transforming their souls in such a way that their desires and aspirations are aligned in a single direction. Soul is beyond all reason and intellect. It is, in fact, the source of mind and intellect. One who knows his soul knows the universe, since soul is nothing but the microcosm of the universe. This book explains this body-soul continuum and suggests practical steps to evolve through the body-senses-mind-intellect to reach our soul. Welcome to this new path of spiritual evolution.

The Egosystem is not an academic indulgence of science, chemistry, or mumbo-jumbo psycho-analysis. It unpacks the humanity that exists in all of us, regardless of cultural, religious, or philosophical persuasions and makes it possible for everyone to reconnect with the essence of who they are, and empower them to change it if they so desire. Despite being in the self-help genre, The Egosystem is not about self-help. It is about self-awareness. In a world where everyone expects us to live according to norms that will give us a sense of inclusion in society, but rob us of our own identity, we eventually lose any sense of who we are. When things start falling apart, or when we find ourselves busy from morning till night, yet feeling unfulfilled and exhausted, that's when life starts beating us up and we feel empty or isolated in our thoughts and troubles. That feeling of angst or frustration is usually because we have lost sight of what we wanted for ourselves, versus what others demanded from us. At times like that, finding our way back to a moment when we felt grounded and appreciated, even if only by ourselves, could mean the difference between growing old gracefully, or dying on the inside while appearing happy on the outside. Understanding your needs, recognising your assumptions, embracing your fears, mastering your behaviours, honing your responses, and establishing more informed perceptions about the world are all outcomes that will naturally result from your time reading this book. It does not provide you with exercises to do, or mantras to repeat to achieve the changes that will reduce the dis-ease that you may feel. Instead, it simply makes you aware of why you respond to life the way that you do, which in turn prompts the natural curiosity and intelligence of the mind to make conscious choices to either accept who you are, or to change the cycle if you prefer to be better. No mantras. No lists. No exercises. No prescriptions. No touchy-feely rants. Just simple logic that will remove the clutter and restore sanity where you thought sanity may be lost forever.
