This edition of the classic self-help bestseller is fully revised
and updated to reflect the newest developments in the mind-body
field today. The Journey was born of Brandon Bays' extraordinary
experience of healing from a football-sized tumour, without drugs
or surgery, in 6 weeks. Forced to go beyond the limits of known
alternative therapies (she had been working in mind/body healing
for two decades) she was catapulted into a remarkable,
soul-searching and ultimately ground-breaking healing journey. Bays
pioneered a remarkable healing technique that guides us directly to
the root cause of a longstanding difficulty - emotional or physical
- and then gives us the tools to resolve it. At the most
sophisticated nexus of mind-body healing today, The Journey offers
a simple imaginative process that is a revolutionary way to
actually access memories held in specific parts of the body,
bringing the latest findings of energy medicine into a fast,
effective technique that anyone from a CEO to a child can use.

'A world-class tune-up for your brain.' Daniel H. Pink Why do we
think we're better prepared for job interviews than we are? Why
does no one act on climate change? Why do we over think when
something bad happens to us? Renowned psychologist Professor
Woo-kyoung Ahn devised a course at Yale called 'Thinking' to help
students examine the biases that cause people so many problems in
their daily lives. It quickly became one of the university's most
popular courses. Now, for the first time, she presents key insights
from her years of teaching and research. It's well known that our
minds are tripped up by error, cognitive bias and prejudice. But
knowing that isn't enough: the thinking problems still exist. In
this clear guide, Professor Woo-kyoung Ahn gives clear and
practical steps to actually change our thinking. The natural
follow-up to Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow, Thinking
101 shows how we can improve not just our own daily lives through
better awareness of our biases, but the lives of everyone around
us. It is required reading for everyone who wants to think - and
live - better.
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes.
The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
