P.S. I was browsing through Facebook when I serendipitously found an advertisement that the renowned spiritual & motivational speaker — Jaya Kishori Ji had written a book and it was scheduled for launch on 28-Jul-25. I immediately opened my Amazon app and searched for the book and pre-ordered it. When the book reached me a few days prior to the launch date, my joy knew no bounds. A few chapters into the book, I realized that I should share this beautiful book with a dear friend - I looked up for a Hindi translation on Amazon and was so glad to find it. I sent the Hindi version to my friend as his birthday present.
One of the things that struck me the most was how practical and relatable the advice is. The book doesn’t just tell you what you should do; it helps you understand why you feel the way you do and provides realistic solutions to work through those emotions. In particular, I’ve learned so much about managing my anger. There are moments when I feel overwhelmed or upset, and the teachings from this book have shown me ways to step back, breathe, and regain control of my emotions before they spiral.
Jaya Kishori’s debut, It’s Okay . . . is a gentle, thoughtful guide for anyone navigating stress, self-doubt, or emotional struggles. With a mix of spiritual wisdom, personal anecdotes, and practical reflections, the book reassures readers that setbacks and imperfections are part of life’s journey. Written in simple, compassionate language, it feels like a conversation with a friend who reminds you to pause, breathe, and accept what you cannot control. While the tone is spiritual, it remains relatable and accessible, especially for young readers seeking clarity and peace in today’s fast-paced world
