insights INSIGHT
Masculinity Needs Redefinition
The traditional masculine archetype is outdated and harmful to men’s mental health.
True strength comes from embracing both masculine and feminine energies within.
Josh Trent introduces emotional epigenetics as a transformative understanding of how emotional patterns and trauma are inherited through generations and how they impact our biology without changing DNA itself. He explains that trauma and unconscious beliefs act like switches, turning genes on and off, influencing our emotional and physical health. The key to healing from these inherited burdens lies in nourishing ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially — what he calls the Wellness Pentagon — which charges our 'bioenergetic capacitor'.
Josh emphasizes that emotions are energy in motion meant to be felt and processed, not suppressed, and through authentic liberation — freeing ourselves from inherited projections and trauma — we can not only heal personally but break cycles for future generations. He encourages patience and self-compassion on this lifelong journey, sharing that truth and vulnerability create deep connection and empowerment.
This refreshing blend of scientific insight and spiritual wisdom offers a new lens on trauma, healing, and self-mastery that connects personal well-being with ancestral healing.

Written in 1938 by Napoleon Hill, 'Outwitting the Devil' was considered too controversial to be published in its era. The book is presented as an interview between Hill (Mr. Earthbound) and the devil (our inner dark self), where Hill uncovers the secrets to freedom and success by evaluating the greatest obstacles humans face in achieving their personal goals. The book discusses topics such as the difference between drifters and non-drifters, maintaining a definiteness of purpose, finding one’s other self, Hill’s seven principles, and the law of hypnotic rhythm. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Sharon Lechter, it was finally published in June 2011.

The Body Keeps the Score
Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Bessel van der Kolk
In this book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores various treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to aid in recovery. The book emphasizes the power of relationships in both causing and healing trauma and offers hope through descriptions of novel approaches to treatment. It is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists in the field[1][2][5].
Biology of Belief
Bruce Lipton
In this book, Bruce H. Lipton presents a new understanding of how genes and DNA can be influenced by our beliefs and thoughts. He argues that genes do not control our biology; instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. This synthesis of cell biology and quantum physics shows that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking. Lipton emphasizes the role of the subconscious mind in processing information and how our beliefs shape our health, relationships, and overall success. He also discusses the importance of cooperative living and the potential for transforming our lives by becoming conscious of and reprogramming our limiting beliefs[1][2][5].
