Welcome to my webzine, a vibrant and dynamic space dedicated to exploring lifestyle, sharing valuable information, and promoting wellbeing for our audience from India and overseas. My name is Akanksha Sharma, and my background spans Research, Communications, and Counselling. As a lifelong learner, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and stories that can make a difference in people’s lives. This passion has also led me to author two e-books: a fiction children’s book titled Don’t Let the Kitten Drive the Car and a nonfiction book on decision making called Stop Making Bad Decisions.
Don’t Let the Kitten Drive the Car is a heartwarming story about a ten-year-old girl named Akriti, who is visually impaired, and her pet kitten Simba. Together, they navigate life’s ups and downs, offering readers delightful lessons about friendship and resilience. The book was converted into Braille & is housed in the library of All India Confederation of the Blind (AICB), Delhi.
Stop Making Bad Decisions is a practical guide aimed at helping readers overcome decision-making anxiety and improve their decision-making skills through thoughtful approaches and exercises.
In this book, you will learn about:
1. Decision Making Anxiety
2. Best Thought Level Approaches to Deal with It ( Number 3 is my favourite)
3. Four Keys to Unlocking Good Decisions
4. Exercises you can do with any Writing Tool ( Pen, Paper, Device, App) to improve your Decision Making Skills
It is my hope that this book will empower you with all the tools that you need, to ‘Stop Making Bad Decisions’ in your life.
There are chapters on Decision Making Anxiety, Thought Level Approaches for dealing with it, the Role of Balance in Decision Making, identifying Fears, naming Needs, putting Priorities in order and not forgetting the importance of Joys. There are exercises that you can do side by side as you read the book. These exercises will help hone your decision making skills. Enjoy the reading journey! You can check out Amazon reviews of the book and Goodreads reviews as well.
Don’t Let the Kitten Drive the Car!’ is a heart warming, slice-of-life tale about a ten-year-old girl, Akriti and her pet kitten, Simba. Akriti is like any other school girl, except for the fact that she is visually impaired. Her life is full of both rainbows and dark clouds, as makes new friends and learns how to stand up to the class bullies.
Three month old Simba is a cute, white ball of fluff with a pink button nose. He thinks that he is the most intelligent kitten in the whole world and that humans are not as brainy as cats. Simba’s adorable antics win over the members of the Gupta household. He even manages to melt the heart of crusty old Dadaji, who used to think that cats were a bad omen. Pick up this book and follow the dynamic duo of Akriti and Simba along on their adventures. Peep into their little world as they learn unexpected and delightful lessons from each other.
