«Tu montaña es el obstáculo entre tú y la vida que
quieres vivir. Enfrentarlo también es el único camino hacia tu libertad y conversión […] Tal vez sabes qué es tu montaña. Quizás es la adicción, el peso, las relaciones, los trabajos, la motivación o el dinero. Quizá no lo sabes. A lo mejor es una vaga sensación de ansiedad, baja autoestima, miedo o un descontento general que parece impregnar todo lo demás».
Brianna Wiest

Las montañas simbolizan los grandes desafíos que enfrentamos, en especial aquellos que parecen imposibles de superar. Para conquistar la cumbre es necesario aprender a identificar y cambiar las conductas que nos llevan al autosabotaje.

Por medio del conocimiento y la aceptación de nuestros hábitos más dañinos, el desarrollo de inteligencia emocional, la liberación de experiencias pasadas a nivel celular y el aprendizaje de actuar como nuestro yo del futuro podemos abrir nuestro propio camino hacia cualquier cima. Al final, la montaña no se moverá, seremos nosotros quienes lograremos conquistarla.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Legacy was written to simplify the process and accelerate people’s pursuit of a purposeful life filled with the satisfaction and impact their hearts are longing for.

Legacy makers aren’t born. They’re made.

It has been taught that legacies were meant for the rich, famous, world leaders, and innovators. However, after observing a relatively unknown man build a legacy that rivaled many of the most notable people in history, Marcum Davis came to understand that legacies are not reserved for the elite. In fact, they are attainable for people from all walks of life.

But how does one build a legacy? How can a “regular” person lead an impactful life of purpose and fulfillment worth remembering?

After years of study and practice, Marcum discovered a fundamental five-part formula that anyone can apply to their daily lives, known as the P.E.A.C.E. Legacy Formula, which he shares in the pages of Legacy.

Following the P.E.A.C.E. Legacy Formula will begin to improve one’s quality of life from the start, as they begin to feel their excitement and energy rise up and touch everything they do.

Legacy was written for anyone who wants to make the most of each day and live a more meaningful life. It serves as a guide and support system in the creation of a life and legacy that impacts not only the individual, but their loved ones, and the world around them.

Easy to use in a variety of ways, Healing Words is complementary medicine for the mind, body, and spirit that has a history of proven efficacy for people of all faiths on their journeys to healing and wholeness.

Every two-page spread is a chapter headlined by one of 101 words that relate to healing the mind, body, and spirit as a process or event. The word is followed by a definition, a personal reflection or a story that relates to the healing power of the word, quotes, and an affirmation for the reader to use on his or her healing journey. The quotes include contemporary excerpts as well as words from the sages, plus proverbs, psalms, and more.

Limitless You helps those seeking to live fully become more self-aware of their emotions and thoughts, by identifying the tricks and traps of the mind and creating the life they deserve to live. 

Every person is born with a beautiful purpose for their lives; yet past experiences, societal expectations, and accumulated trauma leave many feeling unworthy and fearful of pursuing their passions. The tricks and traps of the brain can convince anyone to move through life with their heads down, eyes glazed, but according to Holly Wynn, human beings aren’t meant to go through the motions!

Too many interpret their inner voice saying, “I can’t live like this anymore,” as instruction to remove themselves from this life altogether, rather than an invitation to take steps toward meaningful changes to make life better. In the aftermath of COVID-19’s “new normal,” personal loss and tragedy are far too common, leaving individuals feeling trapped. In Limitless You, Holly Wynn encourages readers to take action, unlocking the door to their heart and embracing the purpose they were meant for.  

Learn to overcome trauma, adversity, and struggle by unleashing the science of hope in your daily life with this inspiring and informative guide.

Hope is much more than wishful thinking. Science tells us that it is the most predictive indicator of well-being in a person’s life. Hope is measurable. It is malleable. And it changes lives. In Hope Rising, Casey Gwinn and Chan Hellman reveal the latest science of hope using nearly 2,000 published studies, including their own research. Based on their findings, they make an impassioned call for hope to be the focus not only of our personal lives, but of public policy for education, business, social services, and every part of society.

Hope Rising provides a roadmap to measure hope in your life. It teaches you to assess what may have robbed you of hope, and then provides strategies to let your hope flourish once again. The authors challenge every reader to be honest about their own struggles and end the cycle of shame and blame related to trauma, illness, and abuse. These are important first steps toward increasing your Hope score—and thriving because of it.

“La disciplina, tarde o temprano, vencerá a la inteligencia”, Yokoi Kenji

Yokoi Kenji retoma en este libro historias legendarias del Japón para, al final, hacer breves comentarios a manera de conclusiones sobre la vida de hoy. Historias de monjes y fábulas dan pie para reflexiones sobre el comportamiento humano. Al igual que en Salón 8, el autor tiene como telón de fondo sus vivencias en Japón y su condición de latinoamericano. Son 41 historias cortas donde el lector se dejará envolver por cuentos casi infantiles, mágicos, para encontrar ahí la respuesta a muchas inquietudes de la vida diaria.

Lejos de dar cátedra directamente por medio de conceptos, las historias mismas van dejando reflexiones sobre la importancia de la disciplina, el valor de la amistad, la lealtad, el equilibrio entre el trabajo y el ocio, la importancia de la familia, las relaciones de pareja, entre otros temas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Discipline, sooner or later, will defeat intelligence.” —Yokoi Kenji

In this book, Yokoi Kenji draws from legendary tales of Japan and offers brief reflections at the end of each one, connecting them to modern life. Stories of monks and fables become the starting point for thoughtful insights into human behavior. As in Salón 8, the author weaves in his personal experiences in Japan and his identity as a Latin American. These 41 short stories invite readers into magical, almost childlike narratives that hold answers to everyday questions.

Rather than teaching through abstract concepts, the stories themselves gently reveal reflections on the power of discipline, the value of friendship, loyalty, balance between work and leisure, the importance of family, romantic relationships, and more.

"Vital reading for anyone who wants to create communications that cause people to act."
Matt Barlow, CEO, CAP

When you face a red light, what can you say to turn it green?

On stage needing to hook the audience?

Convincing a friend over coffee?

Sweating it in a job interview?

The results of what you say aren't coincidence. Whether you persuade, or not, is down to whether you use the right prompts.

The Centre Brain - the body's action centre - responds to what it hears. And, if the right prompts are used, the brain can be persuaded to act. Effective communication isn't a lottery. The Centre Brain explains why your communication works, or doesn't. Why you prompt action, or don't.

The result of a 20-year quest to discover what prompts action, The Centre Brain offers readers a glimpse into the story behind their stories. Combining psychological insight, real-life experience and inspiring application, this book will show how you can make your message unmissable using the Centre Brain 5 prompts to action.

An actionable guide to mindfulness and practical ethics for any creative professional who wants to make a living without selling their soul.

It can be difficult to live according to our values in a complicated world. At a time when capitalism seems most unforgiving but the need for paying work remains high, it is important to learn how we can be more mindful and intentional about our impact — personal, social, economic, and environmental.

As designer and creative director Kelly Small had to do to navigate a crisis of ethics and burnout in their career in advertising, we can admit our complicity in problematic systems and take on the responsibility of letting our own conscience guide our decisions.

Start with one or many of these 100+ rigorously researched, ultra-practical action steps:

• Co-create and collaborate
• Get obsessed with accessibility
• Demand diverse teams
• Commit to self-care
• Make ethics a competitive edge
• Be mindful of privilege
• Create for empowerment, not exploitation

With a humorous and irreverent tone, Small reveals how when we release unnecessary judgement and become action-oriented, we can clarify the complicated business of achieving an ethical practice in the creative industries. Discover the power of incremental, positive changes in our daily work-lives and the fulfillment of purposeful work.

In Unfiltered and Unapologetic, renowned leadership coach Judy McCutcheon shares her deeply personal journey of healing and self-discovery. Drawing from her experiences as a Caribbean business leader and certified leadership coach, McCutcheon offers wisdom on building self-worth, setting boundaries, and creating success on your own terms.

The book weaves intimate stories with actionable advice on everything from relationships and career to money management and self-acceptance. McCutcheon’s voice is both nurturing and direct as she guides readers to shed limiting beliefs and embrace their authentic selves. Each chapter includes reflection prompts (“A Conversation with Yourself”) that help readers apply the lessons to their own lives.

Perfect for women who are ready to stop apologizing for their ambition and start living life on their own terms, this book speaks especially to those navigating personal transformation, relationship challenges, or major life transitions.

LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES. CHOOSE WISELY AND WITH NO REGRETS!

Taking Chances, Making Choices is the honest, humble, and sometimes raucous tale of Kathy Stone’s evolution from an overly serious, risk-averse, independent young woman to an entrepreneur, business leader, thrill-seeker, wife, mother, and friend who dares to not only dream big, but to make those dreams a reality.

Raised in a small South Texas town, the Southern Baptist Church, and a conservative family, Kathy Stone was taught to always do what was right and proper, to follow the rules, and never cause a scene. Kathy’s courage to open herself to taking risks, to being silly even when others are watching, to understanding that we must accept the consequences of our choices—so choose wisely!—set her on an adventurous path of raising three boys, building a multi-million-dollar business with her husband, finding friends in unexpected places, traveling the world, finding an unparalleled freedom in skydiving, and helping others more than she ever imagined possible. All while holding tight to her personal values and letting her faith lead the way. And in Decide to Dream, she shows you how you, too, can live the life you’ve always dreamed of.

Overcome Life’s Obstacles and Find Strength in Adversity

We all face obstacles. Whether physical, spiritual, emotional, or financial, we are all working to overcome a roadblock ahead of us. When Shay Eskew’s roadblock—a splash of gasoline and a lit match that set his body ablaze—came at eight years old, he had the choice to either succumb to his injuries or to rise above them. In What the Fire Ignited: How Life’s Worst Helped Me Achieve My Best, Shay shares the trials and tribulations he was forced to face while recovering from his burns and reclaiming his life as an athlete. Despite being told to give up on sports, Shay was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (Medal of Courage), ran a marathon on seven continents in seven days, and competed in over fifty IRONMAN triathlons on six continents. By sharing his story, Shay hopes to help those struggling to realize the greatest tragedies are often our greatest blessings if we have the faith to stay the course. We are all facing something; we all have the odds stacked against us in some way. In What the Fire Ignited, readers should take comfort in knowing others have been there and not only survived, but thrived.

So many people let life pass them by without going after the things that truly make them happy. Life, Unlimited is here to remind people of what’s possible and show them the way to the life of their dreams. 

In 2012, Tray Rush was struggling to make ends meet. He tried switching jobs, taking on second jobs, and pursuing countless failed “can’t miss” business opportunities, in an effort to turn things around. Nothing worked. Fearing his dream of becoming an entertainer and building a life of freedom as an entrepreneur would never happen, he tried something different. He quit job hopping and chasing after mindless side hustles, and began studying the best minds in human behavior, success, and self-help. Then, he turned what he learned into a series of simple steps he could take every day.

To his surprise, two things happened. First, his mindset changed, and he began to see the world differently. Next, his behavior changed, and he became more focused with his actions. And, sure enough, he began achieving more by doing less and his dream of becoming an entertainer started to bear fruit on YouTube. In just a few years, Tray amassed more than 10+ million social media followers, billions of views on YouTube, and a thriving business and real estate portfolio.

Tray’s transformation was achieved by a system that can be used by anyone to identify, pursue, and live Life, Unlimited. Researched and tested in the real world, it has been shared with those who noticed Tray’s progress and asked how he did it. Now, it’s available to everyone.

Desde improbables inconformistas hasta líderes y promotores

En Chasing The Impossible, Rachelle Rutherford, directora ejecutiva de Kids on the Move, desentraña la apasionante historia detrás del surgimiento de esta organización multimillonaria sin fines de lucro dedicada a ayudar a niños con retrasos en el desarrollo y discapacidades. Lo que comenzó como un esfuerzo sincero de dos madres decididas que buscaban apoyo para sus hijos con síndrome de Down se ha convertido en un faro de esperanza para las familias.

Rutherford profundiza y describe la ardua batalla que enfrentan muchas familias al recibir un diagnóstico para su hijo, y la atención continua, que muchos niños necesitarán hasta bien entrada en la edad adulta. Con cruda franqueza, expone la cruda realidad de las comunidades mal equipadas para brindar estructuras de apoyo esenciales para estas familias, dejando al descubierto el costo del estrés y el aislamiento que experimentan.

Sin embargo, en medio de estos desafíos, Rutherford revela el compromiso inquebrantable de Kids on the Move de construir puentes para solventar los vacíos que existen en la atención, combinando la implementación calculada de liderazgo y estrategias de crecimiento con una cultura de contribución y compasión. Desde programas de terapia innovadores hasta redes de apoyo integrales, ella revela las iniciativas innovadoras de la organización que han rediseñado el panorama de la atención de la discapacidad.

Pero el viaje está lejos de terminar. En Chasing The Impossible, Rutherford revela planes en el horizonte, una vez más traspasando los límites y revolucionando la definición de excelencia en la atención integral de la discapacidad. Además de emitir un conmovedor llamado a la acción e instar a las comunidades a apoyar a estas familias, el libro sirve no solo como testimonio de resiliencia sino también como un llamado de atención a la acción colectiva.

Con relatos desgarradores y visiones audaces para el futuro, Chasing The Impossible es más que un libro: es un clamor por el cambio, un plan para un futuro donde cada niño tenga la oportunidad de ser visto, conocido y amado.

Retune Your Heart is a beautiful reminder of how the “extra” is everywhere if people are willing to open their eyes and hearts to see it.

Life is full of things that, at first glance, seem rather ordinary: a young girl learning to ride a bike with her dad; the bond between an old man and his canine companion; a pair of eighty-year-old lovers still holding hands; sunrises, sunsets, and double rainbows; and the kindness of strangers, to name a few. 

But several years ago, Don Blackwell realized that if he paid a little closer attention, opened his eyes and heart just a little wider, every now and then he would see beyond the ordinariness. He would see something “extra.” Turns out, the “extra” is everywhere—and it’s unspeakably beautiful.

This inspirational guidebook uses deeply personal stories to provide encouragement to those searching and hungry for hope and provides the wake-up call the world needs concerning mental health.

Retune Your Heart stirs the spirits and soothes the soul, urging people to move beyond setbacks and heartbreak, embrace vulnerability, and get back to living their best, most authentic lives.

Some say I am a lucky guy, because I figured it out before it was too late. I figured out what truly matters in life and I live my life by those principles. I almost missed out. I allowed myself to get caught up in life’s spin cycle. Too much work, allowing things that ultimately meant nothing to consume my life, being too busy to savor the simple things in life, thinking net worth was the true goal…well, not anymore. As I look around, what amazes me is that everybody wants the same things: We want to be happy, get out of the rat race, enjoy life, have fun, persevere through adversity, maximize joy, take risks, and be proud of who we are, what we have accomplished and the legacy we will leave. I know that because in my 30-year career as a sales executive, entrepreneur, public speaker, and faculty member at top companies and business schools, I have seen it with my own eyes. I have engaged with literally thousands of people of all ages, all over the world. They all want life worth. They want joy and contentment with their lives. They know they need it, they just don’t know how to get it. I do. I did it. I am a lucky guy because I figured it out at an age when I could apply it. It wasn’t too late. And it is also surprisingly simple, if you know the secrets.

The purpose of this book is to share with people of all ages the secrets to achieving a high life worth at any age. Life is too awesome to not be enjoyed every day in every way. It can be done. I know, because I am living it.

Practical and Spiritual Principles for Better Life Teams We are inevitably on various Life Teams throughout our lives—family, school, business, church and community, to name the most basic. Whether we are the de facto team leader or a role player, each of us would like our Life Teams to be winning ones. The Four-Step System, described as a metaphor based on four wheels, is intended for all who desire to improve their Influence Quotient, which is a specific kind of intelligence: the ability to influence our teams for a positive outcome. This approach is different from the usual leadership mandates set out in so many books. We cannot all be leaders all the time, which would negate the concept of a team. But we do need to be good influences on others. The emphasis should be on acknowledging the value of every teammate’s role while helping them prepare for times when they will need to step to the front to influence an outcome. Mastering the elements in the wheels of the Four Step System provides momentum and enables you to be On Point; regardless of what role you play. The end game is to improve the performance of our Life-Teams by cultivating meaningful relationships, which are far more rewarding than rings or trophies!

IT TAKES GUTS TO LEAD
Much has been written about the heads (analytic and strategic ability) and hearts (emotional intelligence) of brave leaders. This book asks the question “What about guts?” and then examines answers offered by a global network of exemplary leaders in their fields. Brave Leaders brings together interview-style explorations with relevant and easy-to-implement exercises to help readers cultivate their own bravery. Both field guide and workbook, Brave Leaders satisfies curiosity about how “guts” factor into brave action and argues that even this element of bravery can be nurtured.
The interviews collected here show what bravery looks like in the real world as practiced by people of varying ages and in a variety of fields and circumstances. Together, they make clear that anyone can become an agent of meaningful change for the greater good, whether by engaging in everyday office heroism or by taking a stand in the face of life-threatening circumstances. What one needs is good models, keen insight, and old-fashioned effort and practice. Brave Leaders shows readers how to discover in their own lives opportunities for courageous action and prepares them to take advantage of those opportunities to become a force for good in the world.

This is not a book just about flying a single engine airplane around the
world.This is the book about identifying the "Big Hairy Audacious
Goal" in our lives and finding a way to accomplish it through focus and
discipline.The author accomplished three dreams: the dream of coming to the
U.S. and getting an MBA degree (when he hardly spoke any English); the dream
of starting a company and becoming a self-made millionaire (when he had no
money, no business plan, no investors, no social network, and no experience);
the dream of becoming the first Chinese citizen to fly a single-engine
airplane around the world (when he had barely 200 hours of flying time and
two years of flying experiences). By sharing these stories, the author
challenges everyone to think about one question: "What would you attempt
to do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Admiral William H. McRaven is a part of American military history, having been involved in some of the most famous missions in recent memory, including the capture of Saddam Hussein, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips, and the raid to kill Osama bin Laden.

Sea Stories begins in 1963 at a French Officers' Club in France, where Allied officers and their wives gathered to have drinks and tell stories about their adventures during World War II-the place where a young Bill McRaven learned the value of a good story. Sea Stories is an unforgettable look back on one man's incredible life, from childhood days sneaking into high-security military sites to a day job of hunting terrorists and rescuing hostages.

Action-packed, humorous, and full of valuable life lessons like those exemplified in McRaven's bestselling Make Your Bed, Sea Stories is a remarkable memoir from one of America's most accomplished leaders.

Challenges include establishing boundaries and saying no, dealing with your inner critic, overcoming anxiety and comparison.

By the end of the month you will have created your own bespoke kit of tools that lower your stress, strengthen your connections, instil calm and increase your joy.

La doctora Rosa Molina, psiquiatra con especial formación en neurociencia clínica, nos propone un nuevo enfoque sobre la importancia de nuestro cuerpo para comprender nuestras emociones y cuidar de nuestro bienestar emocional.

¿Sabías que notar mariposas en el estómago, tener un nudo en la garganta o que sientas que te va a estallar la cabeza no son solo frases hechas? Se trata de sensaciones reales que se desencadenan en diferentes partes de nuestro cuerpo cada vez que experimentamos una emoción, ya sea enfado, tristeza o alegría, y son tan reales como el dolor de una pancreatitis.

Según la doctora Rosa Molina, todas nuestras experiencias, emociones y sentimientos se producen antes que nada en el cuerpo, y el sufrimiento psíquico en muchas ocasiones solo se libera a través del dolor físico, de ahí que existan trastornos como la anorexia o la autolesión. Asimismo, el cuerpo puede ser el vehículo a través del cual incidir positivamente en nuestra mente mediante la actividad física y el deporte, la práctica del mindfulness e, incluso, un abrazo o una caricia en el momento adecuado.

Una mente con mucho cuerpo es una guía que te enseñará a entender tus emociones a través de lo que expresa tu cuerpo, al tiempo que ofrece las claves para regular tus estados de ánimo, potenciar tu creatividad, tomar mejores decisiones o hacer frente a la adversidad y, de este modo, cuidar de tu salud mental.

Fair or Foul considers different aspects of ambition and its place in our lives. It asks: what does success mean? When is enough enough? And is Lady Macbeth right to suggest that only those with the 'illness' of ambition achieve the highest goals?

Stefan Stern draws on the major themes of Macbeth and discusses how they can be applied to ambition in modern life. From the success of the first US woman vice president, Kamala Harris, the obstacles she faced and the possibilities that still lie ahead, to Boris Johnson's young aspirations to be 'world king' and the pathological intensity of his ambition, Stern considers the careers and personal lives of politicians, sports stars and business people, to name a few, to illuminate this strange and powerful driver. Expect to discover how ambition and success work together, how attitudes have shifted over time, and how gender roles have an impact on our goals.

Incisive, contemporary and accessible, this book is for anyone who is looking for a change of direction or emphasis on how to move forward. It will also provide consolation, amusement and plenty of insightful meditations on the complex nature of ambition.

Successful people do not avoid failure, but rather use it as a steppingstone to reach their goals.

For too long people have been defeated by the idea that life stops when you fail. In The Art of Doubling Down, author Anthony Michael Russo turns this idea on its head, proving that failure is far from the end of the road. 

The Art of Doubling Down highlights stories of successful people who experienced failure and leveraged it as a learning opportunity to become stronger and more resilient. He also dives into his personal experience growing up with a father who had a gambling addiction that almost destroyed their family, to demonstrate how failure ended up being the key to unlocking success in his own life.

Through these inspirational stories and practical tips, individuals can learn how to transform their fear of failure into motivation to face challenges head-on. Theorists will become practitioners who are ready to take on life with a new outlook. And discover how to identify the lesson inside every failure that paves the way towards success in business, life, and finding ultimate happiness.

Joe believes the solution to the world's problems - yours and his - is in one word: kindness. Practice "Unexpected Kindness" and you'll influence people in ways you can't imagine or predict - just as those who helped Joe long ago.

Kendall Qualls’ personal and revealing stories demonstrate that anyone with a disadvantaged past—no matter their ethnicity—can take responsibility for their life, their family, and their community. Recounting his time growing up in poverty in NYC and a trailer park in Oklahoma to becoming a U.S. Army officer, then years later running for governor, Qualls’ story demonstrates that the promise of America is available to anyone, regardless of race or social station.

Kendall Qualls wrote The Prodigal Project: A Hope For American Families to inspire readers to take charge of their lives, their families and their communities. This book is a call to return to the path that so many Americans were on, the basic principles outlined in the Bible, and the values that made us a great and exceptional country.

In A Life Just Like Mine Dr. Donna D. Kincheloe connects significant life scenes from her childhood, high school, nursing school, and adulthood, to depict events that caused deep pain, while extracting nuggets of meaning and highlighting the positive take-aways along the way. Dr. Donna engages the audience with an open heart to stimulate emotional self-evaluation and thoughtfully showcase God’s abundant grace. 

She shares experiences blended with gems of wisdom, tears of sadness and humor, and subtle scenes of God’s interventions, with powerful transparency. Ultimately, Dr. Donna passes on her realization that the imperfect life God gave her, is the exact life that shaped her into who she is today – a compassionate, empathetic, respectful, God-loving nurse, mother, and wife. A fierce storyteller who uses her own experiences to help others transform their past pain into present peace.

Small things can often mean a great deal. For the past five years readers of the Toronto Star's website have been telling each other that, as they shared their stories in a feature called "Acts of Kindness." The common thread is that a stranger helped when it was needed most, without thought of a reward and often without leaving a name.

Since its debut in December, 2004, "Acts of Kindness" has become a daily fixture at thestar.com. About four thousand stories have been submitted and two thousand have been published. Acts of Kindness, the book, represents the best of the best - a collection of 200 of the most memorable tales.

The stories are a reminder that goodness is non-denominational, non-political, and transferable across race and language. They also remind us that although our lives are full of hard realities, the smallest gesture can raise a spirit or lift a heart, and the time to do it is now.

Author Gregg Krech, now after 30+ years of teaching Naikan, shares the depth of his experience with essays, parables, poems, quotations, and recommended reflection exercises, and includes new material on relationships, a 7-day practice program, and an updated appendix for counseling professionals.

The unique structure of Naikan illuminates truths that we may otherwise overlook and that can have a dramatic impact on our understanding of life, our relationships, and our daily experience of being alive. More than a philosophy, Naikan is a deep and transformative practice that can open us up to a different understanding of how we have lived and where to go from here.
