True and False Magic
null
Phil Stutz
Phil Stutz's "True and False Magic" delves into his spiritual philosophy and understanding of the universe. The book expands on his previous work, offering a deeper exploration of higher forces and their influence on human experience. It integrates his unique perspective on spirituality with practical tools for personal growth. The book is presented in a workbook-like format, encouraging active engagement from the reader. It's a blend of spiritual insights and practical self-help techniques.
The Tools
Phil Stutz
In 'The Tools,' Phil Stutz and Barry Michels present a unique approach to therapy that focuses on immediate solutions rather than dwelling on the past. The book introduces five tools: The Reversal of Desire, Active Love, Inner Authority, Grateful Flow, and Jeopardy. Each tool is associated with a 'Higher Force' and is designed to help individuals face pain, break free from negative thoughts, and cultivate gratitude and willpower. The authors draw from their decades of psychotherapeutic practice and provide clear steps for using these tools to achieve mental health and spiritual well-being[3][5][4].
On Our Best Behavior

Healing Back Pain
The Mind-Body Connection
John E. Sarno
This book, written by Dr. John E. Sarno, presents a groundbreaking approach to understanding and treating chronic back pain. Dr. Sarno's research on Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) suggests that stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors, rather than structural abnormalities, are the root cause of chronic pain. The book explains how repressed emotions trigger tension in the body, depriving muscles and nerves of oxygen, and provides guidance on recognizing the emotional roots of TMS and severing the connection between mental and physical pain. It also advises on how to accept negative emotions, resume physical activity, and change the brain's behavior to heal shoulder, neck, and lower back pain without drugs, surgery, or physical therapy.
For December’s solo episode, I looked at the etymology of the word resolutions. What I found might surprise you. And instead of thinking about what I want to be or do next year, it got me thinking about what I want to let go of. And how I can recognize when I’m making things more complicated than they need to be (I love complexity and depth but can sometimes get carried away). I also get into a few other things that are on my mind right now, including: journal speaking, how we sometimes conflate altruism with transaction, the MAHA movement, and ways I can be softer on people while being harder on systems. Last, some news about two of my most fulfilling collaborations, which are both coming out in workbook form in 2025: True and FalseMagic (with Phil Stutz) and Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness (with Courtney Smith).
