Books

My books explore a question I've been studying for more than 20 years: How do we change the patterns that shape how we feel, relate, and live?

Across six books and more than 300,000 copies sold worldwide, I've explored mindfulness, emotional health, resilience, and the small practices that help us meet life differently.

Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity

A practical guide to changing the emotional patterns that shape your stress, relationships, and health.

We often know how we want to respond, yet find ourselves falling into the same reactions again and again. Tiny Shifts explains why, and introduces the 4R Method.

What is the 4R method in Tiny Shifts?

  1. Recognizing old patterns
  2. Releasing what's keeping them in place
  3. Refocusing on how you want to show up
  4. Reinforcing a new response
