Book Description
This selection and its somewhat haphazard direction of how so many of us interact romantically--on the surface--is a gentle reminder that be it fate, chance, or will, we appear destined to carry out our mission to couple and partner, no matter what the cause or effect. If we truly desire companionship, at all cost, there is probably someone out there seeking the same measure--for better or worse. Whether it is simply ourselves, or the likes of Nathanael West ("Day of the Locus"), Amadeus Mozart ("The Dogs of Amadeus"), Mark Twain ("Mark Twain's Cigar"), Natalie Wood ("The Late Natalie Wood"), or the poor children who haunt the camps at Terezin and Auschwitz (" Little Ghosts"), we are all in need of the dose of kindness that love's dispensary provides if we are fortunate enough to find it, hidden or not, among us. Whether or not a higher power is at work to guide us and grant us "The Word," or we are determined to discover a path towards salvation through the generous acts of others--or ourselves--we follow an unconscious path, at times, and seek refuge, where possible, in places and locations we might have never imagined to investigate and bear witness. It may be upon "The Road to Jerusalem," aboard "The New Train," or in "The Terminal of Grief," yet we still search for solace and speak the only common language we understand, this pursuit of love we may even try to escape--but never deny.

Book Description
The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary things that can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart. Doty would go on to put Ruth’s practices to work with extraordinary results—power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth’s most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results—until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.
