A review by marisa_jarrett
Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty

4.0

I found this book through hearing the author speak on a podcast and really enjoyed what he had to say. I think that the stories and imagery he gave readers, helped to solidify how our brain chemistry works and why rituals such as meditation can be so helpful to our nervous system. While it didn't seem like I learned any new information, I really enjoyed the story and how the information was woven through personal stories of childhood and what he has learned and practiced as a neurosurgeon.
