Vibe: Discover Your Energetic Frequency for Health, Love & Success
So what does #goodvibesonly really mean?
Bestselling author Robyn Openshaw reveals the difference between low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and high vibration emotions (love, inner peace, gratitude) and helps readers dramatically impact their physical and mental well-being by raising their vibrational frequencies.
Most of us are vaguely familiar with this concept, but we don’t realize the powerful implications this has for our everyday choices. Which foods to eat, how much water to drink, what we think about when we’re in the car or the shower, what our risk of disease is, and how we feel at any given moment are all affected by the power of vibration.*
Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
“True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.” Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives — experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, she redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization.
With her trademark mix of research, storytelling, and honesty, Brown will again change the cultural conversation while mapping a clear path to true belonging.

From Rupi Kaur, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry, a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing, ancestry and honoring one’s roots, expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself.

Heal Yourself -- Heal the World
Deborah King, spiritual leader and New York Times bestselling author of Be Your Own Shaman, inspires and teaches her proven method of LifeForce Energy Healing in this definitive and accessible book that will forever change the way you connect to your energy.
What’s standing between you and the life you were meant to lead? The answer lies in your energy field and how you manage it. When our energy pathways are blocked by suppressed feelings, pain, and trauma, we weaken both our personal and universal energy fields, hindering our ability to live our best lives.
It's All Good: How to Trust and Surrender to the Bigger Plan
Often it’s during our most challenging times that we learn and grow the most. When we detach ourselves from past disappointments and future outcomes, trust our journey, and surrender to where we are now, we can tap into a newfound ability to breathe fresh energy into all areas of our life.
It’s All Good reminds us that we can trust ourselves and know that we are supported on our path, even if we sometimes feel lost. When we surrender to the bigger plan, we can be comfortable with the uncertainty that often lies between making plans and seeing our dreams manifest. We understand that we can take patient, appropriate action in our lives, without attaching, controlling or making ourselves suffer through hard times. When we let go of expectations, we can truly receive our dreams, or something even better.
