Fundamentally change your life by first understanding the brain and the heart.
James Doty is a lonely child. His father often disappears from home for weeks at a time to drink, and his mother is seriously ill. He has no real friends and mostly keeps to himself.
When James is twelve years old, he visits a newly opened shop to buy a fake thumb for a magic trick he has learned.
There he meets an older woman, Ruth. Ruth gives James exercises in mindfulness and positive thinking, and from feeling lonely, angry, and abandoned, he begins to see all the fantastic opportunities that lie ahead of him and undergoes an incredible transformation that will affect his entire life.
The Magic Shop lets us take part in James's moving life journey. The book is full of lessons that can help you rise above your adversities and see beyond your personal limitations.
