"If I could give each of you a graduation present, it would be this--the most inspiring book I've ever read."--Bill Gates (May, 2017) A provocative history of violence--from the New York Times bestselling author of The Stuff of Thought, The Blank Slate, and Enlightenment Now.
Believe it or not, today we may be living in the most peaceful moment in our species' existence. In his gripping and controversial new work, New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows that despite the ceaseless news about war, crime, and terrorism, violence has actually been in decline over long stretches of history. Exploding myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly enlightened world.

A Thoughtful Look at Healing Beyond the Physical
Format: Kindle
The Energy Code invites you to slow down and view health from a completely different angle, rather than focusing only on symptoms or surface-level fixes. The book presents a deeper question: What if the body is responding to something happening beneath the surface?
The book doesn't dismiss conventional medicine or make bold claims; it simply opens the door to another layer of understanding. It explores how emotional patterns, energy imbalances, and unresolved stress might show up physically, and it does so in a way that feels thoughtful rather than extreme.
The symptom guide encourages reflection, not fear, and helps you see possible connections between what your body is experiencing and what might be going on internally. Even if you don't agree with every idea, it's hard not to find moments that make you pause and think.
If you're open to holistic perspectives and want to explore healing from the inside out, The Energy Code offers an insightful and reflective place to start.

Bridge Between Energy Work and Nervous System Healing
Format: Kindle
I’ve been trained in Reiki and am certified in breathwork, which drew me to this book. The connection the author makes between suppressed emotions, nervous system dysregulation, and physical symptoms is impressive. In my own work with energy and breath, I’ve seen firsthand how unresolved experiences become stored in the body. This book explains why that happens. The explanation of energetic blockages and the chakra system are accurate and explained well. There is an emphasis on safety and nervous system support, which is essential in breathwork and trauma-informed healing. The symptom guide is also thorough and helps you decide where and what you need to work on. Highly recommended.

What Your Body Is Telling You
Format: Kindle
This book makes a strong impression right from the start. The tone is calm and steady, and it never feels like it’s trying to scare you or sell quick answers. Instead, the author takes a simple, grounded approach to understanding physical sensations and why they show up in daily life. The book connects stress, emotions, and the body. These ideas can sound complicated, but here they’re explained in plain language that makes sense right away. You don’t need any special background to follow along, just a willingness to pay attention. The book doesn’t preach or push a strict method. It encourages awareness rather than control, which feels refreshing. It gives you space to reflect and notice patterns without judgment. Overall, this is a thoughtful and approachable read that feels supportive without being soft.

empowering
Format: Kindle
The Energy Code offers a thought-provoking look at healing from a mind-body perspective. I appreciated how it encourages readers to see symptoms not as enemies, but as signals worth listening to. The breathwork and grounding exercises were practical and surprisingly calming. That said, some concepts lean heavily into spiritual language, which may not resonate with everyone. Overall, it’s an empowering read if you’re open to exploring healing beyond traditional medicine and want to take a more active role in understanding your body.

Great Resource for Holistic Healing
Format: Kindle
When I came across this book it reminded me of Louise Hayes “You Can Heal Your Life”. It addresses many issues that manifest physically in the body and how to release it by releasing the emotional energetic aspect that relates to it by knowing the cause, it provides a solution along with key words for energetic healing and a strengthening affirmation and tips. Some ailments or issues listed I was surprised to see as one would think you can’t do anything about it, but you can - and the author makes clear from the beginning this book is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment but rather to complement it and to provide alternative options for those who want to take a holistic approach.
