★★★★★ “Not only is this a book, it’s a resource! The author has direct experience with anxiety and therefore truly relates to the reader. I imagine this makes it easier for those struggling with anxiety to pick up the book themselves. We are not alone! I am a mental health therapist and also have my own anxiety (intrusive thoughts, worries, panic feelings), I offer many of these anxiety skills to my clients all the time but to have them in one format is a miracle! I resonated with the vulnerable introduction and coping skills suggested throughout the book. I use many myself. It’s easy to read and does not get too technical. I appreciate the author taking the time to create this wonderful book!”

“The Billionaire and the Monk” by Vibhor Kumar Singh will soon be available in Croatian!

This delightful fable offers a unique blend of motivation and wisdom, as it narrates the story of a billionaire and a monk who unexpectedly cross paths and, in doing so, impart valuable lessons to one another about the true meaning of happiness.

The book challenges conventional notions of happiness, posing thought-provoking questions such as: What if everything you’ve been taught about happiness is wrong? What if happiness isn’t a goal to be achieved, but a state of being? What if the path to extraordinary treasure lies in the ordinary?

Through the experiences of two men from vastly different backgrounds, the story reveals that neither material wealth nor ascetic renunciation is necessary for achieving happiness. It portrays happiness not as an elusive philosophical concept, but as an attainable state of mind, accessible to all through the simplest acts of daily life.

Worldwide rights are available except in English (world), Bulgarian, French (world), Greek, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal), German, Spanish (world), Turkish, Croatian, and Korean. Publishers interested to know about the rights availability, please get in touch with our agency.

The compelling bestseller “The Memory of an Elephant” by Alex Lasker is now available in French!

★★★★★ This is the debut novel of a well-known and accomplished screenwriter. Lasker wrote films that starred such actors as Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis and Patricia Arquette, among others.

“The Memory of an Elephant” is an epic saga told by an aging African elephant as he makes a last, perilous journey to find the humans who rescued him as an orphan some fifty years ago. Interwoven with his narrative are the tumultuous lives of the family who raised and then lost him: a famed hunting guide and his wife, who runs an animal orphanage ; their son and daughter; and the young Kikuyu who finds the orphaned elephant and becomes part of the Hathaway family.

This timeless story is alternately heartwarming and heartbreaking, spanning east Africa, Great Britain and New York from 1962 to 2015. The greater purpose of the story is that we identify with a sense of the preciousness of life, all life, and share the basic awareness of these truths that make our own lives meaningful.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “What a beautiful story. It is one of survival, happiness, sadness and courage. Told from the elephant, Ishi’s perspective, it was unputdownable. I truly felt like I was part of his life! I love elephants and all that they are, so I was wonderfully surprised at just how great a story this was. How well written. It was a story of true love!”

★★★★★ “There are few books I have read with the power of imagery and emotional realism to affect me so profoundly as Alex Lasker’s The Memory of an Elephant. This is not just another animal story. This is a story that originates in a deep sense of injustice, moral sin, brought to vivid reality on an epic scale. It is a masterpiece that ranks with the best classics of animal stories.”

Editorial Planeta México just released a special Spanish edition for Latin America of the popular book “Stay worry-free with Epictetus” by Jana Capri & Charan Díaz

★★★★★ The “Stay stoic, Stay Happy” trilogy has been licensed in 11 languages!

What can I do to be happy? How should I relate to other? How can I worry less? These are complex questions that we all ask ourselves at some point in life. But finding the right answers to these questions is not an easy task. What if you could ask the great philosophers Marcus Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus?

In each book you will find 79 questions about life and the corresponding philosopher’s answers adapted to accessible and modern language. The authors have also included psychological reflections that explore the messages in more depth and help to gain a more positive attitude towards life.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “Great books to find some optimism when things are not going well. They read easily. I highly recommend them. For me Marcus Aurelius has been a great discovery.”

★★★★★ “A book based on stoic philosophy and that makes you reflect on what’s really important in life. It’s written in a reader-friendly way, easy to understand. Especially in these difficult times we’re facing the book makes you think that nothing is as bad as it seems, and that what counts is the right (positive) attitude.”

★★★★★ “This book was a friend referral, as I was looking for some positivity-related reading, and it was worth reading. Not only it triggered me to do some study on the great philosopher Marcus Aurelius, but also provided some positive thinking tips for my understanding. The authors have also provided a nice psychological reflection for each response of Marcus Aurelius. Resourceful read.”
