Highlights of Readers Digest India magazine, July 2014 Our July cover story brings you insider info on the challenging, lives-in-their-hands job surgeons do. “50 Secrets & Tips From Top Surgeons” is full of helpful advice as the doctors reveal their expertise, fears and even the seedy side of their profession. At the heart of Reader’s Digest are people who help change the lives of others with their acts of courage and kindness. Our Everyday Heroes section is about one such person who helped rebuild a crumbling orphanage near Bangalore. And so is The Serenity of Being Satish Kumar. An unusual Indian, this editor-cum-environmentalist once travelled the world on foot to spread his message of peace. The Lion Whisperer, our Bonus Read for July, is about a zoologist who uses his knowledge to save endangered African lions. Other highlights of the issue include a heartwarming My Story set in the time of the Partition; Statesmen on the Train, about a chance encounter with two politicians; and Mind on how Sleep Hygiene can be a simpler alternative to pills and other devices for insomnia. Put your thinking cap on for You Be the Judge, and sit back and enjoy our humour sections with the revival of an old Digest favourite: As Kids See It.
