The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary things that can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heartGrowing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart.Doty would go on to put Ruth’s practices to work with extraordinary results—power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth’s most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results—until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.The cover design is intentional, it’s called a “stepback” .

Free Your Energy: The Path to Freedom, Mental Clarity, and a Life of Enjoyment is a book that explores many emotions and ideas. It gives the reader stories, reflection points, mantras, and acts as a guide to discover their own path to freedom. Mental freedom is a topic schools need to talk about, it’s something we should talk about with friends, and we should use introspection to discover what traps us from reaching our potential. There are some ideas, places, and people that we must let go of in order to be free. There are also, connections that we need to improve, enhance and add value to. Humankind has always searched for meaning and purpose, and for a lot of us, that question creates stress and anxiety. In Free Your Energy, we discover our own path to have mental clarity, to create and cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and we figure out how to simply enjoy life. The writer, Sylvester McNutt III, does not tell you how to think or feel; he simply uses an introspective storytelling style to spark your brain, allowing you to create your own path. Free Your Energy will water, nourish, and challenge you. Free Your Energy hopes to be the spark that helps you create the life you deserve.Explored Writings:Chapter 1: Break Up with the I-Am-Not-Enough Mind-Set — 6Chapter 2: Imagine Feeling Like You Are Already Free — 45Chapter 3: Understanding Fear Is the Key to Freedom — 88Chapter 4: Free Your Mind from Thoughts and Beliefs That Hold You Back — 116Chapter 5: Understanding Conflict: A Path to Freedom and Reduced Ego — 144Chapter 6: To Be Free You Must Detoxify Your Life — 206Chapter 7: Cultivate Meaningful Connections — 231Chapter 8: How to Stop Overthinking and Trust Your Intuition — 274Chapter 9: Honor Your Energy — 303

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A vital approach to combating climate change and creating a better world for us and our future generations—from beloved Buddhist and environmental activist Thich Nhat Hanh We face a potent intersection of crises: ecological destruction, global warming, inflation, rising inequality, racial injustice, and the lasting impacts of a devastating pandemic. As shown time and time again, the situation is beyond urgent. To face these challenges, we need to find ways to strengthen our clarity, compassion, and courage to act. As beloved Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh said, “When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing.” He is blazingly clear: there’s one thing we all have the power to change, which can make all the difference, and that is our mind. Our way of looking, seeing, and thinking determines every choice we make, the everyday actions we take or avoid, how we relate to those we love or oppose, and how we react in a crisis. This book is for anyone who cares about the growing and devastating impacts of climate change, mindful consumption, how human and nature’s interconnectedness is paramount for the well-being of all humanity, and creating a better, regenerative world for us future generations. Energetic and altruistic, and filled of Thich Nhat Hanh’s inspiring meditations, Zen stories and experiences from his own activism, Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet shows us individual actions help guide institutional change, and bring healing and harmony to ourselves, our relationships, and our planet Earth.

By Spring, her health and vitality had been restored. Inspired by dramatic visions and dreams of her family and ancestors, Bri.

They give you the specific tool that allows you to climb out, to create and maintain structure and resiliency in your own life, so you can continue the ascent to your highest potential.

As seen on Good Morning America and The Today Show with Hoda and Jenna “The key is managing stress, so we can lead healthier, happier lives. The 5 Resets will help you do just that.”   — Katie Couric, Journalist and Founder and CEO, Katie Couric Media   "A masterful approach to rewire our brains and bodies from the inside out."    — Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO, Thrive Global “The doctor everybody needs.”  — Mel Robbins, Host of the Mel Robbins Podcast From Harvard stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent Dr. Aditi Nerurkar comes a reimagined approach to overcoming your stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts. For Dr. Nerurkar, the common misperception of stress as “bad” needs reframing. Stress is a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands. It becomes problematic when it’s out of tune with the frequency of our lives, result­ing in burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To bring stress back to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers her five science-backed mindset shifts, rooted in more than two decades of clinical experience, for when life gets hard: The First Reset: Get Clear on What Matters Most The Second Reset: Find Quiet in a Noisy World The Third Reset: Sync Your Brain and Your Body The Fourth Reset: Come Up for Air The Fifth Reset: Bring Your Best Self Forward Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why our everyday attempts at being “resilient”—like multitasking, sleeping less, and undergoing huge lifestyle overhauls—aren’t beneficial to our stressed brains. Instead, she prescribes practical, real-world solutions for our modern-day perils that are time efficient, cost-free, and can be applied to anyone’s life, including fol­lowing the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable), accepting that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adopting her Bookend Method (creating boundaries to honor our brain’s need for compart­mentalization). The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer you a road map to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.
