Kanpur: Renowned TEDx speaker, celebrity motivational speaker, mental health advocate, and philanthropist Naina Mor has reached another milestone in her inspiring journey with the launch of her debut book Tea Cups and Turning Points. Published by Rupa Publications, one of India’s leading publishing houses, the book is already making waves for its cinematic storytelling and refreshing take on everyday life.
Tea Cups and Turning Points brings together 16 evocative stories that capture the struggles, courage, love, joy, and rediscovery of ordinary people placed at extraordinary crossroads. Each story uses the simple symbol of a cup of tea—representing pause, comfort, and life’s defining moments—as the thread that connects diverse narratives.
The stories are intimate yet universal, leaving readers with thoughts that linger long after the final page.
Speaking about her book, Naina Mor said, “This book is my small contribution to spreading positivity and self-acceptance. Each story portrays life’s challenges and triumphs in a way that readers can see themselves reflected in them. The narratives are real, human, and so vivid that they could easily be adapted for the big screen. At a time when we’re glued to our phones, this book invites people to reconnect with life—even if just for a while.”
Key Themes
