by Haruki Murakami. In this book, Murakami shares his thoughts and experiences about running and writing. He talks about how he started running in his 30s and how it became a big part of his life. Running helps him think and gives him ideas for his writing. The book is like a diary where Murakami writes about his runs, the races he joins, and how running affects his life and work.

"Project Hail Mary" is a space adventure story written by Andy Weir, the same guy who wrote "The Martian." It's about a man named Ryland Grace who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he's there. He figures out he's on a mission to save Earth from disaster. The story follows him as he tries to remember his past and complete his mission, which involves a lot of science and problem-solving. Along the way, he meets an alien, and they form an unlikely friendship. The book is full of cool science stuff, suspense, and humor. It's like a mix of a mystery and a space adventure, with a lot of heart. The narration by Ray Porter is superb, with sound effects and excellent voice work.

Breathworx is an on-demand breathwork service designed for stress relief, decision clarity, and a happier mood, with guaranteed results in a single session—even for those who “can’t meditate.” Folks who’ve tried it say they: Feel less “in their head” generally Feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and clarity Feel more confident, calm, & authentic in social situations Get clearer answers in big decision making Relieve stress, anxiety, heartbreak, loss, and depression Have more reliable stress coping mechanisms Release the “emotional gunk” that builds in them Feel more grounded and in touch with their bodies Are less reactive in difficult situations The classes primarily use guided meditations and Circular Breathwork, a simple technique involving 2 breaths in (belly, then chest) and 1 breath out, all through the mouth. Also known as 2-part breathwork, holotropic breathwork, or triangle breathing, this method yields transformative results in a short amount of time. Breathworx offers both full-length 40-60 minute sessions and shorter 10-20 minute versions, accessible on any browser or device, anytime. Whether you use this "cheat code" once a week, once a month, or daily during particularly hard times, it's all up to you. Many people find that even a single class is worth more than years of therapy, where one session can cost more than a yearly Breathworx membership. In fact, if you take just one full class a year, you’ll likely value the benefits beyond the yearly subscription price. Most in-person classes have about 30 minutes of breathing wrapped in some meditation or gratitude practice, making for about 45 minutes total. Breathworx offers similar formats, as well as shorter versions, ensuring there's a session that fits your schedule and needs. Whether you're looking to relieve stress, gain clarity, or simply add a powerful tool to your wellness toolkit, Breathworx is designed to be as transformational, enjoyable, and meaningful as possible.

Discover the secrets to a long, healthy, and fulfilling life with "Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life" by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles. This insightful book delves into the Japanese concept of ikigai, or a "reason for being," which is believed to be a key factor in the remarkable longevity of the residents of Okinawa, a Japanese village known for having the world’s highest percentage of centenarians.

The book reveals the residents' daily practices, from their nutrient-rich diets and active lifestyles to their strong community bonds and purposeful work. "Ikigai" provides practical advice and tools to help readers discover their own ikigai, offering a blend of cultural wisdom and actionable steps towards a life filled with purpose, health, and joy. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in enhancing their well-being and finding deeper satisfaction in everyday life.
