Lacy Phillips

A groundbreaking, science-backed approach to manifesting the life of your dreams 
 
'This book is a revelation! Lacy’s focus on subconscious beliefs rather than just positive thinking is a game-changer.' – Dr Tara Swart, bestselling author of The Source 
 
At age 19, Lacy Phillips’s life was a mess, and in desperation, she turned to a book on manifesting. She followed the book to a T, then sought out everything else she could find on manifesting and followed that, too. There was only one problem: None of it was working. 
 
Eventually, Lacy threw away all those manifestation books and began paying close attention to her own patterns and inner wisdom. She noticed what was going on internally that allowed her to manifest in some areas but not in others. Over the course of several years, she developed her own unique formula for manifestation, later teaming up with doctors and healers to make her system as effective and science-backed as possible. 
 
After radically changing her own life through this process, Lacy started teaching it to friends and individual clients. As their lives began to transform, their networks started to seek her out, too. Soon there was a massive tribe of manifesters out there living the lives of their dreams. 
 
Weaving together stories from Lacy’s own journey and those of her clients while offering clear, practical, step-by-step guidance in a warm, no-nonsense tone, How to Manifest reveals the real secret to manifestation: We do not manifest from our thoughts. We manifest from our subconscious beliefs. This is, in essence, the opposite of most other manifestation processes. While they say you must train your thoughts to remain positive, How to Manifest teaches you how to transform your subconscious beliefs about what you do and do not deserve and what is possible for you. It helps you take advantage of neuroplasticity to rewire your subconscious mind to align with your greatest, most authentic desires. And this is exactly how you will be able to attract those desires into your life. 
 
Lacy has already helped tens of thousands of people achieve their dreams through her To Be Magnetic program. Now it’s your turn. Discard the complicated techniques, rituals, and formulas that are not getting you anywhere, and start manifesting the life you most desire – and deserve.

The Art and Science of Getting Happier

Hollie Starling

It was the last of the ebbing days, the brink of the new season. It was the murky hours, the clove between sunset and sunrise. It was a tall tree with deep roots and it had been bleeding for a long while.

The Bleeding Tree is an unflinching year-zero guidebook to grief that shows us that by looking back to past traditions of bereavement we can all find our own way forward. 
 
'Starling's account of family life is riveting and narrated with grace and honesty, counterpointing the personal with the mythic.' - Irish Times

Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl's words resonate as strongly today as they did in 1946. Despite the unspeakable horrors in the camp, Frankl learnt from his fellow inmates that it is always possible to say ‘yes to life’ – a profound and timeless lesson for us all.
