No matter what the next fad workout or eating plan is, there is one powerful thing that affects every part of your being: your fascia. Like an orchestra conductor, fascia organizes the symphony of movement and communication within our body; it provides structural support and is crucial to many physiological processes.
For three decades, fascia specialist David Lesondak has been helping people improve function, reduce pain, and restore resilience. Now in The Fascia Connection, Lesondak brings his years of experience to help readers better understand their body, their health, and their wellbeing.
With chapters devoted to more general tips on mobility (including simple exercises), to specific chapters on pain, aging, and overall wellness, The Fascia Connection is a go-to guide that is engagingly informative and imminently practical.
Leading pain expert Dr. Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of understanding—and treating—pain—it’s The Body Keeps the Score for chronic pain.
Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was … wrong?
We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain—influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been sold—finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person—not just a body part.
A groundbreaking, revolutionary book that finally offers access to the world’s most powerful painkiller: YOU.
“This book is a must read for anyone struggling with chronic pain. Filled with moving stories and the latest science, Zoffness explains how pain works and why so many treatments fall short. Her message is ultimately a hopeful one: By changing our brains we can lessen our pain. I highly recommend.” ―Anna Lembke, MD, Professor and Medical Director, Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, Stanford University, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation
“In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Zoffness dismantles outdated myths about pain and brilliantly reveals new ways to overcome it. Filled with the latest science, this is a must read for both doctors and patients, and frankly anyone grappling with chronic pain.” ―William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease, former faculty at Harvard Medical School

Doctor by day and Bravo’s Real Housewife by night, Tiffany Moon has a prescription for releasing perfectionism and finding joy!
“A must-read for anyone seeking more balance, purpose, and joy at home and at work.” —Barbara Corcoran, Shark Tank real estate mogul and business expert
As a self-proclaimed “good girl,” Tiffany was a people pleaser and an A-student, fitting into the roles that were prescribed by her Chinese American family. As a lifelong overachiever, she accomplished a thriving career as an anesthesiologist. Yet Tiffany felt unfulfilled. She spent more time at work than at home with her family, didn’t know how to say “no” to anyone, and was governed by perfectionist standards.
In Joy Prescriptions, Tiffany shares her journey to reconnect with herself. In order to feel whole, she had to drop the perfectionist trope and focus on rediscovering who she was. Tiffany abandoned other people’s expectations and ultimately discovered how to live for her true self. She put herself first and embraced more creativity and laughter. Taking surprising chances on herself, she started a candle business, starred on a reality TV series, tried her hand at stand-up comedy, and became a social media influencer.
Joy Prescriptions is a must-read if you want to add more spark and joy to your life. Tiffany offers a healthy dose of introspection and healing that will release you from the constrained expectations of others and inspire you to design a joyful life that is more authentically you!
“Tiffany’s hard-earned wisdom and heartfelt stories remind us that true wealth is all about creating a life that feels rich in every way.” —Vivian Tu, New York Times bestselling author of Rich AF
Many of us assume that once we understand why we feel the way we do, things will finally change. Traditional talk therapy often equips us with the language and self-awareness we’ve been missing — yet so many of us find ourselves stuck. We can recognize the trigger, name the pattern, and explain the story, yet still feel unable to create tangible change in our day-to-day lives. So, where’s the disconnect? What’s missing?
Registered social worker and trauma therapist Simone Saunders believes the answer lies in crossing the threshold from the mind into the body—moving from self-awareness into a felt, embodied understanding. In Where Do You Feel That in Your Body, Simone guides you through a gentle and practical approach to noticing what emotions feel like in your body, understanding the protective patterns shaped by identity and past experiences, and recognizing how your nervous system responds to stress and disconnection. You’ll learn how to read your body’s signals with curiosity, and how to build the capacity to stay present with your emotions instead of disconnecting from them.
In recent years, the language of the body—posture, facial expressions, movements, and sensations—has become more widely recognized for the integral role it plays in shaping and maintaining our survival patterns. Where Do You Feel That in Your Body shows you how to build a steady, supportive relationship with your nervous system that grows and shifts over time. You’ll understand how your body and mind communicate, how identity and culture shape your emotional responses, and how to gently shift the patterns that once helped you survive.
This affirming book from world-renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Conti, offers a paradigm-shifting approach to optimizing mental health, offering readers a proven way towards a joyful life—based on the popular series on Andrew Huberman’s podcast.
More than one in five US adults are living with a mental illness. Since 2010, adults ages eighteen to twenty-five have experienced a 139 percent increase in anxiety. For all of the increasing and well-intended mental health resources at our immediate disposal, we could easily ask where we are going wrong. Yet, Dr. Paul Conti wants to know, “what’s going right?”
Backed by celebrities and esteemed colleagues such as Lady Gaga, Mel Robbins, and Kim Kardashian, Dr. Conti poses that the key to embracing this new narrative is tapping into our often ignored and long over-looked generative drive, the primary factor that’s already going right in each of us. The generative drive helps you get things done, solve problems creatively, help others and feel connected to something larger than yourself. When activated, it brings you peace, contentment, and delight.
With Dr. Conti’s notorious straightforward sincerity, he shares the exact method he uses on his patients and celebrity clients to help them tap into their generative drives including:
- The 5 Part Function of Self: When you alter your function you alter your life trajectory
- Cultivating a daily self-inquiry practice
- Learning compassionate curiosity
- Progressive muscle relaxation
- Rewiring Life Narratives
What’s Going Right offers readers a proven offramp from the toxic pursuits that keep them stuck and an onramp towards happiness.

Find out how empowering and transformational food can be when you learn how to Make Your Own!
You are creative! Yes you! Despite what society, friends, family, or social media might tell you, you don’t need to practice the “classic creative outlets” like art, music, or writing to find creative expression. And if you are interested in those outlets, you don’t need to pursue them as a career to live a more fulfilling life.
The key to cultivating the kind of big, juicy life that sparks joy, connection, and fulfillment isn’t chasing the title of “creative”, it’s prioritizing your play. In Prioritize Play, host of the Chaotic Creatives podcast and play enthusiast Rachael Renae reveals that play is more important to our wellbeing than productivity or career titles and should be prioritized as readily as getting groceries, paying your rent, or getting your work done. When we connect to ourselves through play, we become more curious and intentional in how we express ourselves and connect with other people. Within these pages are:
- Mindset shifts to start seeing play in the everyday
- Guidance to help you find your version of play
- Strategies to turn play into a regular practice
- Exercises to release expectations on your creativity
- Lessons in becoming your own hype pal
Through introspection and fun challenges, you’ll see that play is the solution toward overcoming our creative blocks, caring less about what people think of us, and showing ourselves that we do deserve to prioritize our creative ideas. Even when they don’t make money. Even if we’re not “good” at them. Even if they’re not a “traditional” creative outlet. Because we all deserve our version of our Big, Juicy Life!
