Love is one of the most complex and confusing emotions in the human experience. It consumes so much of our lives and yet we don’t truly understand it – what it is on a biological, chemical and evolutionary level. This book takes you on a fascinating journey to explore the science of love, looking closely at the interplay between genes, hormones, emotions and relationships.

Discover everything you need to know about why you are attracted to certain people, the brain’s role in your emotions, how to pick “the one” and how to preserve that love over time. Learn how to have better, healthier and more loving relationships by understanding the inner workings of love in your body.

How AI Ate The World

Artificial intelligence will shake up life in the 2020s as dramatically as the internet did in the 2000s.

This accessible, up-to-date book charts Al’s rise from its origins in the Cold War to its increasing impact on us today and in the coming years. Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker (TikTok Boom and YouTubers) meets the Silicon Valley innovators making rapid advances in ‘large language models’ of machine learning like Google’s Bard and ChatGPT and reveals the extraordinary plans they have for them.

And he explores the dark side of Al by talking to workers who have lost their jobs to chatbots and to futurologists worried that we are unwittingly creating a force that could destroy humankind.

How Al Ate the World answers all the key questions, such as how Al will transform the way we live and work; the professions that will ultimately win and lose; and whether the likes of Elon Musk are right to warn about a looming threat to humanity. This is a pithy ‘start here’ guide for anyone who wants to know more about the next big technology that will govern our lives, whether we like it or not.

The Making of Netaji

Inquilab Zindabad wasn’t an overnight success. It took years of blood, sweat and tears for the revolution to rise.

In The Making of Netaji, we explore the journey of Bose, tracing his growth into a pivotal figure in the country’s struggle for freedom from the British Raj. This collection features selected speeches and writings, spanning from 1912 to 1945—as the philosophical and intellectual backbone of his political ideology was built. It is the story of a revolutionary, told in his own words, blending iconic speeches like Give me blood, and I promise you freedom! with in-depth writings such as A Glimpse of the Future. This collection offers a compelling window into the making of one of the nation’s foremost architects of freedom.

Born into a privileged Hindu family, Bose received an English education. He left his higher studies in pursuit of a higher calling—come back home and work for the freedom of his motherland. Charismatic and devoted, his rallying cries inspired hundreds of people to join the Azad Hind Fauj for the liberation of the country. Letters that he exchanged with his mother show a side of him unknown to many; the inner turmoil he went through in his early years led to his formation as a national leader later. Arranged chronologically, these documents guide readers through the evolution of Bose’s ideological convictions and leadership style. As each piece unfolds in the context of its time, it reveals not only his political vision but also the shifting circumstances that shaped his decisions, offering a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the man behind the movement.

Even eight decades after his death—his footprints are still visible on the soil of the nation.

The Index Series by The Bombay Circle Press brings you a curated collection of stories from and about the history of India. From the speeches of Netaji to the empires that shaped Bharat, each volume is thoughtfully compiled and edited by The Bombay Circle Press team. The Making of Netaji marks the first volume in The Index Series and is a collection of Subhash Chandra Bose’s correspondence, speeches and other writings.

How to Train a Happy Mind

Based on the hugely successful podcast A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment, this book provides a simple 8-step guide to using the power of analytical meditation to improve mental wellbeing by mixing Tibetan Buddhist Meditation with modern science, psychology and popular culture.

Train your mind toward lasting connection and joy.

Eager to share the life-enhancing benefits he found in Buddhism, skeptic Scott Snibbe presents this 8-step programme that allows anyone to build positive mental habits.
