collaborated with a new young author to bring fresh perspective on
how the power of music can affect a young person's life. Coping

An instant "New York Times" bestseller, this powerful book from
transformational expert Marci Shimoff, now in paperback, shows
readers how to live happier and more open-hearted lives by
experiencing more unconditional love.
In "Love for No Reason" Marci Shimoff guides readers towards a life
filled with love--the kind of love that doesn't depend on another
person, situation, or romantic partner.
"Love for No Reason" introduces a new way of thinking about love,
defining it as an inner state of being that anyone can access at
any time, and in any circumstance. To experience what Shimoff calls
"Love for No Reason," one doesn't need to have the right partner,
the perfect body, an ideal child, or a great job. As the book
demonstrates through the examples of those who are living in this
state of unconditional love, when you love for no reason you bring
love to the world around you, rather than expect love from it.
Supported by the latest scientific research on the biochemistry of
love, Shimoff outlines a revolutionary program to develop and
nurture more love from the inside out. She also offers practical
tools and breakthrough methods that will empower readers to bring
unconditional love to every aspect of their lives and introduces
150 Love Luminaries--world-renowned scientists, spiritual leaders,
and psychologists, as well as people who are living in the state of
Love for No Reason--many of whom share their moving personal
stories.
Regardless of the challenges people may face--whether they are
relationship, economic, or business pressures--this book will show
readers how they can become an unshakeable source of love for
themselves and everyone around them.
A book of natural wonders, practical guidance and life-changing
empowerment, by the author of the word-of-mouth bestseller If Women
Rose Rooted. 'To live an enchanted life is to pick up the pieces of
our bruised and battered psyches, and to offer them the nourishment
they long for. It is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be
gripped and shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at
the heart of the ordinary. Above all, to live an enchanted life is
to fall in love with the world all over again.' The enchanted life
has nothing to do with escapism or magical thinking: it is founded
on a vivid sense of belonging to a rich and many-layered world. It
is creative, intuitive, imaginative. It thrives on work that has
heart and meaning. It loves wild things, but returns to an
enchanted home and garden. It respects the instinctive knowledge,
ethical living and playfulness, and relishes story and art. Taking
the inspiration and wisdom that can be derived from myth, fairy
tales and folk culture, this book offers a set of practical and
grounded tools for reclaiming enchantment in our lives, giving us a
greater sense of meaning and of belonging to the world.
