“Dr. Tafur's timely book takes us on an enchanted

adventure through the emerging world of Amazonian

shamanism. All along the way, he engages the reader with

personal stories that illuminate his exciting and evolving

p h i l o s o p h y o f m e d i c i n e a n d h e a l i n g . ”

—Andrew Weil, MD, bestselling author of Spontaneous

Healing

Western medicine has not been particularly successful at

getting people relief from conditions like depression,

chronic pain, migraine headaches, addiction, and PTSD. Dr.

Tafur helps us to understand why.

People spend years in frustration and thousands of dollars

consulting an army of specialists, without getting real relief

from their problem—because these and others are diseases

deeply connected with the state of our emotional bodies.

Too often, the Western medical approach fails to address

the emotional dimension of illness. This is where traditional

plant medicines, with their ability to alter consciousness and

open channels of communication to our emotions, offer so

much promise.

Follow Dr. Tafur through the Amazon jungle as he develops

a breakthrough understanding of how psychoactive plants

interact with the complex network connecting our minds

and hearts to our physical anatomy. What is presented here

is nothing short of a paradigm shift for modern medicine,

where sacred plants, used properly in ceremony, take their

place as important tools in the doctor’s medicine chest,

offering the missing elements of emotional and spiritual

healing that have eluded us for so long.

Like many women of her generation, when Heather Lanier

was expecting her first child, she did everything by the

book. She took nutritional supplements, avoided GMOs,

recited affirmations, drew up a birth plan for an

unmedicated labor. Subconsciously, she believed that by

exerting control over every aspect of her pregnancy, she

could create a SuperBaby, a flawless human destined for

a high-achieving future.

But shortly after her daughter Fiona's birth, all of Heather's

preconceptions are challenged in quick succession.

Fiona's small size--four pounds, twelve ounces--alarm the

medical experts. The reactions of others, from the nurse

who asks Heather if she took drugs while pregnant (her

response: "I took superfoods") to the pediatrician who

declares that Fiona's tiny frame is the result of either "bad

soil or bad seed," force Heather to confront a profound

and difficult truth. Not only had she failed to produce a

SuperBaby, she now fiercely loved a child that the world

would sometimes reject.

Fiona's ultra-rare chromosomal condition, Wolf-Hirschhorn

syndrome, turns Heather's world upside down, obliterating

not only her perfectionist tendencies but also some of her

most closely held beliefs about certainty, vulnerability, and

love. She must also confront society's attitudes toward

disability and the often cruel assumptions made about

Fiona's worth and potential. Loving Fiona opens her up to a

new experience of what it means to be human, what it

takes to be a mother, and above all, the aching joy and

wonder that come from fully embracing the unique life of

her rare girl.

Heather Lanier’s essays about raising her daughter have

appeared in Salon, Brevity, Brain,Child, The Sun, Today’s

Parent, America Magazine, and Vela. Based on her essays

about raising a rare girl, Heather will be giving a TED talk in

Milan this October. For over five years, Heather has been

writing a well-received blog, Star in her Eye, about

parenting her daughter, Fiona. Her Vela essay,

“SuperBabies Don’t Cry,” went viral, earning praise from

bestselling authors Steve Silberman, Jessica Valenti, and

Cheryl Strayed, who called it “magnificent.” She earned

her MFA in creative nonfiction from The Ohio State

University. She teaches writing at Southern Vermont

College and lives in Vermont with her husband and two

kids.

Hippocrates stated that walking is the best medicine. For

millennia, walking has been used to inspire, generate, and

rejuvenate creative energy. Scientific and academic

research has since confirmed what Hippocrates,

Beethoven, Thoreau, and Woolf (to name but a few) all

knew instinctively: walking truly is the best medicine. Afoot

and LIghthearted is the first interactive journal that teaches

readers how to harness the power of walking to cultivate

and nourish attention, inspiration, and determination, as

well as combat distraction, anxiety, and the dreaded

creative block.

Organized around thematic prompts designed to help

makers take a break from digital life and tap into the

transformational magic of creative journaling, Afoot and

Lighthearted introduces us to innovative walkers

throughout literature, art, philosophy, and history, and

offers encouragement in the form of inspirational quotes.

Supported by evidence from recent research on the

compelling connection between walking and well-being,

much like a walk itself, Afoot offers a fresh perspective

every step of the way.

Whether via informative strolls through the history of

walking and the creative endeavor, thought-provoking

prompts and open-ended questions, or guided

explorations to embark upon, the reader will rediscover the

vitality of moving through the world, the cathartic process

of journaling, and a sense of joy and wonder bound to

give their ideas legs.

Bonnie Smith Whitehouse, Ph.D., is Professor of English at

Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. For twenty years,

she has taught writing to undergraduate and graduate

students, and for over six years, she has taught an

innovative interdisciplinary course on walking and writing.

When Tennessee’s spring wildflowers are at their peak, she

leads retreats integrating writing and hiking. She lives in

Nashville with her husband and their two sons.

“Cory Allen is a beacon lighting the way to greater

presence.”

—Aubrey Marcus, Onnit CEO and author of the

forthcoming book Own the Day

“Cory teaches us that spirituality is not an esoteric

concept. It’s about waking up in order to taste life to the

fullest.”

—Daniele Bolelli, author of History On Fire

“Cory Allen is one of the finest inner explorers of his day.”

– Hamilton Souther, Blue Morpho Foundation

Renowned meditation teacher and composer Cory Allen's

weekly podcast, The Astral Hustle, has reached hundreds

of thousands of listeners, and his accompanying social

media videos have received over 1 million hits in the past

year alone. He is known as the premier composer of

binaural beats, and both his Binaural Beats series and his

online meditation course, Release Into Now, have been

licensed by performance-optimization lifestyle brand Onnit.

Cory's message is simple: you can wake up to your own life

right now. Too many of us experience spikes of anxiety,

waves of confusion, feelings of inadequacy, and a fear of

the future. When we empower ourselves to examine

inherited conditioning, overlooked programming, and

limiting thought patterns, we can break the cycle and

begin living from the heart in an uncomplicated and

authentic way.

Now is the Way combines the logic of experientially based

knowledge, the mind-expanding insights of metaphysics,

the profound sense of well-being that comes with genuine

self-acceptance, and the irreverence of a fully intact

sense of humor. It's a hip, relatable, secular handbook

designed for anyone who wants to wake up to a fresh,

vibrant experience of life.

“A systematic, hands-on manual, The Mind Illuminated will

be a great help to anyone who wants to completely

fathom the process of meditative development in all its

stages. This book brings the path of meditation to life.”

—Sharon Salzberg, New York Times bestselling author

of Real Happiness

—Elena Brower, author of Art of Attention

What if one thing you did each day could bring you to

deep joy, peace, insight, and personal transformation? The

Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide

Integrating Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science by

meditation master Culadasa offers you that “one” thing.

Many meditators say they haven’t reached the heights of

the practice, even after reading every book out there. The

Mind Illuminated isn’t just any meditation book; it’s the

foremost guide to developing deeper, more rewarding,

and transformative states of consciousness while

continuing to live and work in our busy world.

Providing step-by-step guidance for every stage of the

meditation path, this uniquely comprehensive guide for a

Western audience combines the wisdom from the

teachings of the Buddha with the latest research in

cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Clear and

accessible, this in-depth practice manual crystallizes the

entire meditative journey into 10 clearly-defined stages.

The book also introduces a new and fascinating model of

how the mind works, and uses illustrations and charts to

help the reader work through each stage. This manual is

an essential read for the beginner to the seasoned veteran

of meditation and can be read from front to back, or used

as a reference guide, choosing chapters as needed based

on the current state of the reader’s practice.

Culadasa (John Yates, Ph.D.) is the director of Dharma

Treasure Buddhist Sangha in Tucson, Arizona and was a

teacher of physiology and neuroscience. A meditation

master with over four decades of experience in the

Tibetan and Theravadin Buddhist traditions, Culadasa has

been ordained as an Upasaka (dedicated lay-

practitioner) and has received ordination in the

International Order of Buddhist ministers in Rosemead,

California. He lives in Pearce, Arizona.

“A revolutionary book on stock investing (and good

finance in general.”

—Peter Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache)

“For most, investing is both intimidating and complex. JL

Collins, in his patented no-frills and often humorous style,

makes it both approachable and simple. And powerful.

Every investor should read this book and absorb its

wisdom.”

—Jesse Mecham, founder and CEO, You Need a Budget

Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for

navigating this complex world we’ve created,

understanding it is critical. Unfortunately, benign neglect of

things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the

financial world. These people make investing endlessly

complex because if it can be ma de complex it becomes

more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we

are forced into their waiting arms.

Here’s an important truth: Complex investments exist only

to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they

more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The

approach created by Collins and presented in The Simple

Path to Wealth is not only easy to understand and

implement, it is more powerful than any other.

The Simple Path to Wealth covers:

Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you

have it

How to think about money, and the unique way

understanding this is key to building your wealth

What the stock market really is and how it really works

Why the stock market always goes up and why most

people still lose money investing in it

How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market

What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend

your wealth

What financial independence looks like and how to

have your money support you

JL Collins, blogger at jlcollinsnh.com, is the author of the

hugely influential “Stock Series” (nearly 2 million page views

per year), a veritable Bible for the financial independence

and retire early (FIRE) community and anyone interested in

creating and maintaining wealth simply, easily, and

effectively.
