It’s part spiritual slap, part love letter to your nervous system. This book will remind you how wildly alive you’re meant to feel.” —Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author Do you ever feel like your own mind is holding you back? Maybe you want to take bold action, but fear, anxiety, or self-doubt stop you cold. You try to reason your way out—but you stay stuck.
