Nicole J. Sachs, LCSW

In MIND YOUR BODY, Sachs will teach readers about Mindbody medicine and how to turn inwards using her JournalSpeak practice, which has helped countless people around the world better understand their inner workings and experience striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Sachs knows that the answer to much of the chronic pain debacle resides in understanding that a person’s stress, repressed emotions, unresolved trauma, and smaller daily frustrations are causing nervous system dysregulation. The solution lies in rewiring the brain and nervous system’s misguided reflex to protect us with pain and syndromes. Through personal storytelling and patient case studies, Sachs chronicles how her prescription of JournalSpeak, mindset management, and self-affirming meditation has transformed her life and the lives of her many clients and retreat participants.

Psychotherapist Nicole J. Sachs was mentored by and worked alongside the late bestselling author and founder of Mindbody medicine, Dr. John Sarno. His daughter Christina Sarno Horner, LMHC says of Sachs, “After years working alongside my father, Dr. John Sarno, Nicole Sachs’s approach to chronic pain is the truest and most accessible evolution of Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) treatment. Her work captures the essential components for healing.”

ARISTOTLE’S GUIDE TO SELF-PERSUASION de Jay Heinrichs

Show yourself who’s in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun—from the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing

ARISTOTLE’S GUIDE TO SELF-PERSUASION:
How Ancient Rhetoric, Taylor Swift, and Your Own Soul Can Help You Change Your Life
by Jay Heinrichs
Crown, April 2025
(via DeFiore and Company)

Rhetoric once sat at the center of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Martin Luther King, Jr., used it to build empires, write deathless literature, and inspire democracies. Now it will help you to take leadership over yourself; not through pop psychology or empty inspiration, but with persuasive tools that have been tested for more than three thousand years. In Aristotle’s Guide to Self-Persuasion, Heinrichs helps readers persuade their most difficult audiences—themselves—by using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by our culture’s most persuasive characters. With their help, rhetoric can convert the most negative situations into positive ones.

Heinrichs brings in examples from history and pop culture—Winston Churchill, Iron Man, Dolly Parton, and the woman who serendipitously invented the chocolate chip cookie—to illustrate the concepts. But the core of the book tests the tools of self-persuasion and asks: Can the same techniques that seduce lovers, sell diet books, and overturn governments help us achieve our most desired goals?

Filled with entertaining and scientific studies that showcase the power of what language can do for you, Aristotle’s Guide to Self-Persuasion will teach you how to be the most successful person you can be, just by talking to yourself.

Jay Heinrichs is the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing. He spent twenty-six years as a writer, editor, and magazine publishing executive before becoming a full-time advocate for the lost art of rhetoric. He now lectures widely on the subject, to audiences ranging from Ivy League students and NASA scientists to Southwest Airlines executives, and runs the language blog figarospeech. He lives with his wife in New Hampshire.

THE ONLY CONSTANT:
A Guide to Navigating Change
by Najwa Zebian
Harmony Books/Random House, March 2024

Most people want something in their life to change, whether it’s their job, their personal relationships, or their ability to live authentically. And sometimes, unwanted change comes all too swiftly. In THE ONLY CONSTANT, celebrated author and educator Najwa Zebian guides her readers through the changes we must make (or those we need to endure) on the journey to our most authentic lives. She quiets the noise, teaches us to accept ourselves as we are now, and focuses on the necessity and beauty of those messy transitional times.
This is a profound guide to embracing impermanence and celebrating the fact that change is what puts the life in life. With timeless wisdom, Najwa shares her personal experiences with change (for example, rejecting her culture’s definition of what constitutes a « good woman » so that she could live more honestly). She guides us through the changes we choose, like embarking on a new career or setting boundaries, changes we don’t choose, like the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a job, and changes we need to make to lead an authentic life.
Ultimately, Zebian teaches that the purpose of change is to step into the world as your most authentic self. A highly practical guide to unfamiliar terrain, THE ONLY CONSTANT is here to assure us that uncertainty is natural. Yes, change is scary. But it’s the path to living as your true self.

PERMISSION TO REST d’Ashley Neese

A revolutionary invitation to tend to our fundamental need for renewal, self-care, and mindfulness by disengaging from our devices and acknowledging the ways that we are burnout, from the author of How to Breathe.

PERMISSION TO REST:
Revolutionary Practices for Healing, Empowerment, and Collective Care
by Ashley Neese
Ten Speed Press, September 2023

In a culture that constantly tells us to do more of everything but simultaneously pressures us to do nothing, PERMISSION TO REST  is a passionate cry for a more regulated, resourced, and rested life. Wellness expert Ashley Neese combines personal essays, contemplative questions, scientific research, and somatic practices to help us disrupt the state of urgency, reflect inward, and relax deeply. Neese examines common beliefs around rest and offers support and guidance to challenge the shame, guilt, and discomfort that often arise when we attempt to slow down.
Neese presents a series of body-focused rest practices for those who are running on empty, such as Cultivating a Rest/Work Rhythm, Nature Bathing, and Social Media Sabbatical. She addresses common roadblocks when beginning a rest practice, the incredible health benefits of prioritizing rest, and a number of holistic resources for developing a sustainable relationship to rest. The practices work for those short on time, but their benefits build the more you practice every day. 
PERMISSION TO REST is both a timely manifesto and compassionate call to action. In her signature warm, grounding, and authoritative style, Neese invites each of us to pause, look inward, learn to feel our own rhythms, and value rest as a deeply healing, empowering, and spiritual practice. This book is a reminder that we have the power to transform our lives from the inside out.

Ashley Neese holds an MFA from the California College of the Arts and is certified in breathwork, somatic trauma touch, Hatha yoga, and energy medicine. Her private sessions and workshops guide spirit seekers toward living with their hearts wide open.
