Discover the Key to Lasting Happiness by Cultivating Authentic Connection in Everyday Life.We are in the midst of an epidemic of loneliness. Though modern technology purports to "connect" us like never before, we live increasingly isolated and insulated lives, painfully disconnected from each other, from our values, and from ourselves. Indeed, almost 70 percent of Americans report they don't have a single person they can confide in.Rooted in established scientific findings, as well as her own research and clinical experience, Harvard-trained psychologist and connection researcher Dr. Kristine Klussman's approach to well-being is simple and transformative. Klussman shows us that the way to achieve true happiness and fulfillment is not by striving toward them at all, but rather by cultivating connection in our everyday lives. As Klussman says, "Happiness is what we are all chasing, but connection, meaning, and a sense of purpose are the cravings that actually fulfill us and lead to enduring life satisfaction."Connection brings readers an eye-opening and actionable guide that teaches how to nurture your own self-knowledge and integrity-and how to use that knowledge to shape a life rich with meaning and purpose. With Connection, you will discover how to connect with yourself and the world around you in deeper and more significant ways. Through experiential exercises and guided reflection, Klussman teaches readers how to live their best lives in alignment with their values, hopes, and dreams."The beauty of connection theory is that you really only have to remember one thing in order to increase your ability to effect meaningful change across multiple dimensions of your life," writes Klussman. "Make achieving authentic connection your goal." Connection will help you orient your life around your soul's deepest and most authentic truths. Join Dr. Kristine Klussman to discover the tranquility, comfort, and gratitude that arise when we are fully and consciously connected.

From the luminary and prophetic Alan Watts, an invitation to embrace pleasure, play, and connection in our ever-evolving world

The legendary author, speaker, and self-described "philosophical entertainer" Alan Watts delights us on audio with a wealth of illuminations into the spirit and art of meditation, spanning many traditions"What would it be like to see all as one?" Alan Watts asks. "We hear about attaining great states of consciousness. But the only way to have a real transformation is to stop thinking about itΓÇöand simply experience it."From the 1950s to the 1970s, this seminal teacher sparked the West''s love for Eastern wisdom. Now, in these rare recorded gems, he inspires a new generation of inner explorers seeking deeper insights into meditationΓÇöits myriad forms, how they work, and what happens when we practice them.On the "artless art" of contemplative practice, Watts explores Buddhist and yogic paths, Zen koans, Hindu mantra chanting, deep listening, effortless awareness, and more. The key to all meditation, reflects Watts, is to give up trying to do itΓÇöto leave it beΓÇöand allow ourselves to be meditated by what is beyond our illusory self.For those looking for teachings seldom explored in the current tide of books on mindfulness, Buddhism, and yoga, Watts is here to enthrall usΓÇöas original, humorous, and relevant today as ever.

From the sounds of a bird greeting the morning sun to the rising of a silver moon at bedtime, a young girl experiences "a mindful day" from start to finish

An experiential guide for exploring the convergence of psychological healing and spiritual awakening that happens most clearly and powerfully in the depths of the heart"The Deep Heart is what I call a living book, that rare gem of a book that is alive with the presence of its author . . . A book like this should be felt and experienced as much as it should be read." -AdyashantiThe great human quest is to discover who we really are-a discovery that changes our lives and the lives of those around us. With The Deep Heart, spiritual teacher and psychotherapist Dr. John J. Prendergast invites us on a pilgrimage within, using the heart as a portal to our deepest psychological and spiritual nature. The "deep heart" is Prendergast's term for our heart center-a subtle center of emotional and energetic sensitivity, relational intimacy, profound inner knowing, and unconditional love. "The heart area is where we feel most deeply touched by kindness, gratitude, and appreciation, yet it is also where we feel most emotionally wounded," writes Prendergast. "Whether we realize it or not, the heart is what we most carefully guard and most want to open."Throughout The Deep Heart, Prendergast expertly combines the boundaried wisdom of psychotherapy with a spacious, embodied path to liberation, bringing attention to both the joys and pitfalls of each approach with the compassion of a friend who's walked the path for decades. In this experiential guide, Prendergast invites you to tune into your inherent wisdom, love, and wholeness as you journey into the deep heart. Through precise and potent meditative inquiries, insightful stories, and reflections drawn from Prendergast's intimate work with students and clients, you'll begin to open your heart, see through your core limiting beliefs, and discover the true nature of your being.

"Kintsugi, which translates as 'golden joinery,' is the latest lifestyle trend promising to transform our lives." -the TelegraphCultivate inner strength and rebuild your life with the ancient principles of kintsugi.When we lose a person we love, a job, or our health, it can feel like a precious piece of ourselves falling to the ground and shattering.

Psychologist Tomás Navarro encourages us to approach our lives in the same way.Everyone faces suffering, but how we engage with our troubles and heal our emotional wounds can make all the difference.

His reflections help us to engage with our tragedies and challenges-transmuting them into sources of strength. Through gentle stories, practices, and insights, readers gain deeper perspective and courage in the face of life's inevitable crises, heartbreaks, and losses.

"The Yoga Plate brings us compassion and living right for our families, our planet and our animals-a beautiful offering for good all around." -Julie Piatt and Rich Roll, bestselling authors, wellness leaders, chefs, and podcast hostsDiscover 108 nourishing and delicious vegan recipes in the first modern cookbook to marry yoga's principle of ahimsa with nutritionWe take a lot of care when it comes to choosing the proper clothing for yoga, the right accessories, the best studio-but primary to these considerations is an often overlooked yet vital component of practice: our diet. How we eat might be the most important aspect of an effective practice. How we eat is a huge component to the practice because it represents how we treat and nourish ourselves. By changing the way we eat physically and consciously, we can put ourselves on the path to greater well-being. In The Yoga Plate, LA-based yoga power couple Tamal and Victoria Dodge introduce readers to the philosophy of yoga as it is reflected in our eating choices. The 108 recipes are designed according to the concept of ahimsa, or non-harm. "Consciously or not, we can cause a lot of harm with our eating habits," explain the authors. "Living with ahimsa means we try to cause the least harm possible to all living creatures."Each recipe takes you through your daily practice of yoga, starting with "Morning Meditations," where you'll find smoothies and breakfasts to fuel and power you through the day; "A Plate Full of Prana," with snacks, soups, and salads to revitalize your system; "A Bowl Full of Yin," with recipes to help cultivate a centered mood; and "Sweet Savasana" for restorative and beneficial dessert options. A well-rounded yoga practice includes a conscious approach to the things we eat. With The Yoga Plate, readers can make each meal a sacred activity to support both our practice and well-being.
