The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary things that can happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart

Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart.

Doty would go on to put Ruth's practices to work with extraordinary results--power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth's most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results--until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.

The good with the bad
Color: Pattern Kah, Size: XX-Large
Photos in listing depict a LINEN pant - in the close up's you can clearly see a linen/cotton like material. To my surprise, these pants are a silky, polyester material. There is NO stretch - I am glad I purchased a size larger than what I consider my " roomy " size. These style is also depicted as a beige and black color pattern, they are more of a light mauve color out of the packaging. Took a steamer to them to get the wrinkles out. Suitable for tall girls ( I am 5'9 ) and wearing them with 3 in wedge. They are cute - dressy enough for a business casual office setting or a date night. Probably not the best for hot humid weather as they are not breathable.

Incredibly comfortable and perfect for summer!
Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: X-Large, Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: X-Large
I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about these pants at first. When I initially opened them, they didn’t feel like they had much stretch, and the fabric felt a bit cheap to the touch. However, once I actually put them on, my opinion completely changed! They are so incredibly comfortable and have a great, effortless drape. The material is lightweight and breathable, making them absolutely perfect for warm summer days. They are easy to style (looked great paired with a simple tank and a denim jacket!) and feel wonderful to move around in. I am so glad I gave them a chance—I would definitely purchase these again!

Cute and comfortable
Color: Pattern Leopard, Size: Medium
Comfortable and cute. A little long but still wear them with no issues. The material is light but synthetic so not really breathable. I foresee wearing them often.

The Perfect Water Shoe
Size: 6 Women/5 Men, Color: 1a-407 White
The SEEKWAY Water Shoes are an outstanding choice for anyone seeking both comfort and functionality in aquatic footwear. Designed to fit true to size, they eliminate the hassle of guessing or sizing up, ensuring a snug, reliable fit that adapts well to various foot shapes. The flexible upper material hugs your feet gently, offering a barefoot feeling without sacrificing support. Ease of wear is a highlight: the shoes slip on and off effortlessly, making them ideal for quick transitions between water and land. Whether you’re heading to the beach, preparing for a swim in the pool, or starting a kayaking adventure, you’ll appreciate how convenient and lightweight these aqua socks are. The stretchable fabric and minimal design contribute to their versatility—packing them takes up hardly any space, and they won’t weigh you down as you move. Quick-drying capabilities are another strong advantage. After wading through rivers or splashing in lakes, the shoes dry rapidly thanks to their breathable construction. This keeps your feet comfortable and reduces the risk of blisters, odor, or prolonged dampness. The materials used allow water to flow out easily, while also providing protection against rocks, shells, and other rough surfaces. Overall, the SEEKWAY Water Shoes blend comfort, true-to-size fitting, easy wearability, and fast drying to deliver a practical solution for a wide range of outdoor and aquatic activities. Whether you’re hiking near water, surfing, or simply enjoying a walk along the shoreline, these shoes give you the confidence and comfort you need for every adventure.
