Just Be: Transform Your Life and Live as Infinity by Suresh Ramaswamy has been selected as a 2018 Nautilus Award Winner.
Established in the U.S. in 1998, Nautilus is considered a major book award and has been conferred to prominent authors including The Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Thich Nhat Hanh, Amy Goodman, Charles, Prince of Wales and Desmund Tutu. Nautilus Book Awards are held in particular high-regard for recognizing outstanding print books that nurture positive change to co-create a Better World. Dedicated to excellence and the highest literary standards, the award identifies exceptional literary contributions to spiritual growth and other related genres.
Just Be has been honored in the category of Spirituality that is beyond conventional traditions, both eastern and western. This category addresses perspectives, insights, and practices that speak to the common spirituality of all beings and their connection to the Divine.
The Nautilus Book Award recipients are selected through a rigorous and intensive three-tier process presided over by an assembly of highly qualified and experienced editors, professors, writers, librarians, publishers, schoolteachers, and bookstore owners.
The awards are named for the beautiful, pearl-lined nautilus shell containing chambers of increasing size that the mollusk constructs for itself as it grows. The shell symbolizes both ancient wisdom and expanding horizons: both the elegance of nature and a continual growth of understanding and awareness.
