I, Me, & Myself is the story of a professional who unfortunately suffers a heart attack, forcing him to rest. While he is on the bed away from his daily routine, he gets an opportunity to introspect his life. He discovers two different voices within him, which keep sharing their contradictory remarks. One that always urges to follow the path of righteousness, whereas the other acts as a devil's advocate, always putting forward a conflicting idea or an opinion. Their contradicting stances puzzle the author as he finds it extremely difficult to ascertain who is right. Based on various triggers while introspecting his life’s events, the author beautifully personified the role of three components of the human psyche, i.e., 'id', 'ego' and 'super-ego'. The 'id' allures us towards the pursuit of all sorts of pleasure, whereas the 'super-ego' coerces us to pursue ideological goals and perfection. In between these two, 'ego' makes us aware of reality, playing the role of a referee; controlling, guiding, moderating the desires of the 'id' and the 'super-ego’. Readers will undoubtedly be able to identify with the situations they face daily in the corporate world alongside dealing with what keeps happening in their personal lives. The book offers multiple takeaway messages on various topics that will help readers both personally and professionally.

An enduring icon of India, Rabindranath Tagore made extraordinary contributions as an artist, nationalist, educationist and philosopher. Deeply aware of the historical significance of his times, he built on the heritage of nineteenth-century Indian renaissance to become one of the makers of the modern Indian mind. In this first-of-its-kind intellectual biography, historian Sabyasachi Bhattacharya sketches a compelling portrait of a Tagore who was innately sceptical, self-critical and tormented by conflicts in his 'inner life'. He draws on letters, autobiographical accounts and literary works, some translated for the first time, to explore Tagore's chief dilemmas. He reveals how despite Tagore's apparently contradictory ideas on patriotism and international humanism, modernity and traditional practices, secularism and religious influence, there was a unified vision that tied together his diverse oeuvre. Thoroughly researched and evocatively written, Rabindranath Tagore: An Interpretation offers profound insights into Tagore's life and multiple influences that shaped his genius.
