SOUNDS TRUE.

Can your thoughts heal another person, even from across the globe? Does meditation create "superhuman" levels of perception? Can prayer and intention actually affect reality?
A few decades ago, scientists would have dismissed such ideas as superstition. Today, a growing body of persuasive research has turned many skeptics into believers when it comes to the power of spirituality. Measuring the Immeasurable brings together some of the most prominent authorities on the new frontier where science and spirit intersect, including:
Bruce H. Lipton (The Biology of Belief) on the science of epigenetics, and how consciousness shapes our health, genetics, and evolution • Lynne McTaggart (The Field) with the latest findings on the power of mind over matter from her ongoing "Intention Experiment" • Gregg Braden (The Divine Matrix and The God Code) on how how prayer and intention can affect events on a global scale • Gary Small (The Longevity Bible) on lifestyle changes that improve brain function • Daniel Goleman (Social Intelligence) on the "brain’s melody" and our moment-to-moment perceptions • Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion) on the intimate relationship between mind and body • Thought-provoking articles from other modern luminaries, including Peter Russell, Larry Dossey, Andrew Newberg, Dean Radin, Suzanne C. Segerstrom, Jeanne Achterberg, Marilyn Schlitz, Peter Levine, and more
 As we use the methods of science to examine spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and energy healing, not only do we see evidence for the tangible benefits of these "technologies of the mind," but we are also beginning to illuminate the missing links in our understanding of evolution, physics, and our role in the universe.
Filled with leading-edge research, startling discoveries, and the breakthrough ideas of some of today’s most innovative thinkers, Measuring the Immeasurable is an invaluable resource for exploring the mysteries of the quantum age―and what this new science will mean for your life.

There’s no shortage of psychology self-help books on depression―but this collection, envisioned and edited by Sounds True founder Tami Simon, is not one of them.
 You won’t be revisiting familiar therapies or antidepressant options. What you will find is a gathering of 16 exceptional and compassionate teachers who have faced profound depression themselves. Their purpose? To radically shift the way that we perceive the experience. To offer insights and practices that reach beyond conventional models. And to help us receive depression’s uninvited yet singular gifts. 
 The guidance presented here supports traditional psychotherapy and medication as valuable tools. But for those who’ve found these approaches incomplete―or seek to help others at an impasse―there’s much to discover within these pages, including:
 Thomas Moore, PhD, on Saturn’s gifts; Sally Kempton on shifting from suffering and into witnessing awareness; poet Mark Nepo on embracing both emptiness and aliveness; Mary Pipher, PhD, on how despair can open us to long-hidden joy; Christina Baldwin on "ineffable sorrow"; Parker J. Palmer, PhD, on finding meaning and connection through the experience of depression; plus exceptional contributions by Ann Marie Chiasson, MD; James Gordon, MD; Sandra Ingerman; Karla McLaren; Robert Augustus Masters, PhD; Amy Weintraub; Jeff Foster; Elizabeth Rabia Roberts, EdD; Michael Bernard Beckwith; and Reginald A. Ray, PhD.

Darkness Before Dawn: Redefining the Journey Through Depression

Mental Health

Even after years of spiritual practice, self-improvement, or therapy, many of us still have trouble with one essential challenge: self-acceptance. How do we stop from constantly judging ourselves as inadequate, finding fault with our bodies, or being plagued by our inner critics? The Self-Acceptance Project was created to help us find a solution. In this collection of essays, contemporary luminaries in spirituality, psychology, and creativity offer insights and teachings for truly embracing who we are no matter what our circumstances, including:
 • "Waking Up from the Trance of Unworthiness"―Tara Brach illuminates the source of self-rejection and offers a powerful process to reverse unconscious patterns • "Compassion for the Self-Critic"―Dr. Kristin Neff shows how self-judgment is often a misplaced but well-meaning survival instinct • "Held, Not Healed"―Jeff Foster on making the space to accept anything that arises with open-hearted curiosity • "No Strangers in the Heart"―poet Mark Nepo helps us reconnect to the sense of deep aliveness that we were born with • "Taking in the Good"―Dr. Rick Hanson offers effective neuroscience-based insights and practices for overcoming our "negativity bias" • "Transforming Self-Criticism into Self-Compassion"―Dr. Kelly McGonigal reveals practical strategies for changing the habitual way we treat ourselves
 Why is it often so much easier to feel compassion and forgiveness toward others than toward ourselves? Where do our self-critical voices come from? Can we be motivated to grow and excel while still accepting ourselves as we are? In these 19 offerings, some of today’s most trusted teachers share their most valuable practices and techniques for building confidence, transforming our relationship with our inner critics, and using any circumstance as an opportunity to treat ourselves with kindness, compassion, and love.

“The Karma of Cats is yet more proof that cats teach us to be better humans, and sometimes even save our lives. Read this book with a cat on your lap, then hand it to another biped in need of inspiration.” ―Caroline Paul, author of Lost Cat and The Gutsy Girl “What I find most enticing about The Karma of Cats are the golden filaments of respect, delight, and appreciation that weave through the unique voice of each storyteller, these kindred spirits who―like ourselves―treasure the remarkable gifts bestowed upon us by our feline family members.” ―Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Why Buffalo Dance
