  As an Emergency Medicine consultant in one of the busiest departments in the United Kingdom, Dr. Jonny Acheson loved his job. Fueled by adrenaline, he treated and cared for some of the sickest patients who came through the doors. 
   
  In 2016, when he was forty-one, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological condition for which there is no cure. 
   
  He found it increasingly difficult to multitask in his fast-paced world. The environment that he thrived in made his symptoms worse. Parkinson's challenged his professional identity as an emergency doctor, and he didn't know what to do. 
   
  When Your Neurons Dance is about how he is adapting over time with support around him—how he looked to the past to help him in the present, embracing change as new doors opened both inside and outside medicine. 
   
  Ultimately as a doctor practicing with Parkinson's, he found a way to give back, despite a condition that always takes away.

  The Yogi’s Way - Transform Your...

  Celebrated yogi Reema Datta adapts her world-renowned 12-week course into book format: an accessible and practical method for attaining mental and emotional well-being, physical health, and spiritual nourishment that combines the ancient wisdom and practice of yoga with cutting-edge science and solutions to the challenges of modern life 
    
  Born into a family of yogis and reared in India and the US, Reema Datta has been steeped in yogic tradition her entire life. She learned that the wisdom of yoga provides precise guidance on how to create a strong, stable, and resilient mind, but when she looked at the current state of yoga, she mainly saw a focus on the physical aspects of postures and breathwork. She set out to change that approach and created The Yogi’s Way, a holistic curriculum to help readers experience lasting peace, connection to purpose, and freedom from the mind’s destructive tendencies. 
    
  Datta’s 12-week course is based on the in-person curriculum she has used with her celebrity students, their families, and thousands of other followers. It offers a specific sequence of movement, meditation, visualization, breathwork, awareness practices, and wisdom to cultivate emotional resilience and enable readers to face and move through fear, anger, shame, anxiety, depression, attachment, jealousy, and loneliness. Written from the perspective of a woman, the book offers a welcome alternative to the tradition of ancient texts and methods that largely represent male perspectives. 
    
  The weekly lessons and practices, rooted in yogic wisdom, cutting-edge science, and the realities of modern life, include: 
    
  • an exploration of the foundations of The Yogi’s Way: motivation, stories, choices, vision, and nourishment 
  • the twelve Pillars: community, breath, healthy thoughts, mantra, meditation, visualization, movement, rest, journaling, communication, nutrition, and service 
  • the Heal Yourself Now™ yoga sequence, which can be practiced in a variety of settings 
    
  By following The Yogi’s Way, readers will do more than build a strong mind and body—they will awaken their creative potential and learn to follow and fulfill their own life purpose.

  Inside the House of Murdaugh -...

  Everyone reported on the Murdaugh murders from the outside. This is the story from within. 
  For twenty-one years, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson was more than the Murdaugh family's housekeeper—she was Maggie's closest confidante, a witness to the family's private moments, and the keeper of secrets no outsider could access. She fixed Alex's collar on the morning of June 7, 2021. She cooked the last meal Maggie and Paul would ever eat. And she was the first person Alex called after he murdered them. 
  When Alex asked Blanca to clean the house the next morning, she walked into a crime scene frozen in lies. Pots stuffed in the refrigerator when they should have been on the stove. Maggie's pajamas folded with underwear she never wore to bed. A damp beach towel that shouldn't exist. Khaki pants—the same ones Alex wore that morning—wet in the laundry. To investigators, these were meaningless details. To someone who knew the family intimately, they were a confession written in the language of daily life. 
  Drawing on Blanca's testimony, insider knowledge, and unique observations alongside extensive research and trial records, Karen R Allen reveals the story no journalist sitting in the courtroom could tell. The small details that exposed the lies. The conversations that revealed motive. The evidence hidden in plain sight that only an insider would recognize. 
  The truth about the Murdaugh murders wasn't found in the courtroom alone. It was waiting in the details of daily life.

Or perhaps you're a creative whose work was exploited by someone more influential. It’s time to expose the gaslighting tactics used by modern day manipulators - including celebrities and corporations - strategies meticulously crafted to capture your attention and line their pockets, all while they knock off creators, sell illusions, and embody hypocrisy. 
  In this compelling and transformative memoir, Alanna Zabel bravely reveals some of the posers, abusers, and knock-offs she has personally experienced while navigating a spiritual life in a superficial world — one where the wealthy and powerful often turn a blind eye to injustice to ensure their own personal interests.

Through her life as a celebrity yoga instructor, entrepreneur, and spiritual realist, Alanna shares empowering lessons to help you navigate through the smoke and mirrors of our media-saturated and excessively filtered world, while confronting manipulation and betrayal in the elite's shark-infested pool - where the waters are far more dangerous than they appear on the surface.
