We each possess an extraordinary power to realize our greatest potential and live the life we want. Dr. James Doty is living proof, as so many fans of his best seller Into the Magic Shop will attest.

Having grown up in an environment of poverty and neglect, James Doty was 12 years old when he walked into a magic shop and met an extraordinary woman who introduced him to a series of teachings that changed the trajectory of his life. With Lessons from the Magic Shop, Dr. Doty offers an in-depth training program with the same transformational practices that helped him overcome great odds en route to becoming a renowned neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and one of today’s leading voices on the power of love and compassion.

In his first audio-learning course, the innovative Stanford professor shares guided exercises, visualization practices, and inspiring teachings to help us master four central techniques: relaxing the body to become present and honor our highest values, training the brain through meditation and mindfulness, opening the heart to foster true connection, and clarifying our intentions as we navigate the journey of our lives.

This is a most powerful companion to Dr. Doty’s book. Some reviewers on here express frustration over his narration. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water! This frustration may be due to a misunderstanding of how to use this book - which is distinct from Into the Magic Shop. This volume is more of a guided meditation with fully expanded commentary. If the pace of Dr Doty’s narration becomes a problem simply change the speed of the playback. This helped me tremendously. I bookmarked each meditation and I use them daily. Thank you Dr James R Doty for these gifts. Thank you Ruth!

Life changing material

I first listened to the audiobook version of “Into the Magic Shop” and I can’t tell you how much I truly enjoyed that experience. I even listened to it twice before going on to this one, “Lessons From the Magic Shop”. I have headaches from trying to listen to him read this. They really should have hired the guy who read the first one. I believe the actual author read this one, “Lessons...” and he sounded quite depressed, himself. I did my absolute best to get through it but I kept wishing I had just bought the physical book and read it, myself. I sped up the speed of the book and it was still extremely difficult to get through. There is zero emotion and he is very monotone. He takes extremely long pauses even between words of the same sentence. It takes away from the message of the book.

Torture

For those considering this book, I urge you not to be swayed by any negative reviews. The essence of the audio book is not in its speed or complexity but in its ability to slowly bring your heart and mind into a peaceful, restful state. Much like a meditation session or a gentle hypnotherapy experience, it’s meant to guide you through a calming process, allowing the words to sink in at their own pace.

This isn’t a book to rush through or consume in one sitting. Its value lies in the gradual shifts it can produce if you approach it with patience and openness. The experience is subtle yet profound, much like any good meditation.

I do recommend reading the author’s other two books first, as they lay a solid foundation for the themes explored here. With those under your belt, this book becomes an even deeper, richer experience. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something that speaks to the heart and quiets the mind.

My heart is bursting open with happiness to have been blessed enough to be introduced to The Magic Shop and all that that means. Thank you Dr. Doty for sharing your beautiful story, your kind heart and your eternally sacred and compassionate wisdom. I would love to hear you speak in person one day. Continued blessings to you.
Love, Annie Flatley

I love the book and the author!

I can’t believe this reading style made the cut. There are thousands of pauses ranging from 2 to 5 seconds and they are not for any discernible reason. Because you can hear the author taking breaths at other times. At some point it become so distracting, I can’t concentrate on the point at all.It was a grind just to finish.

Reading style almost unbearable. Some pauses are 5 seconds long.

Brought me to tears and taught me so much. Thank you Dr. Doty. I plan to share with all of my loved ones.

Beautiful

I have had this book in my library for three years and I literally listen to it every day. I listen to the same chapters over and over again, using them as meditation guides and as anchors for my daily compassion and intention practice. @Dr Doty, thank you for this gem 🙏🏾

A complete compassion meditation guide

I've never had to listen to a book sped up over 1.5x and still found the dramatized pauses nearly impossible to listen to. It's like the author got an incentive for stretching a minute worth of info into an hour reading.

Painful

The narration was so painstakingly slow that I couldn’t get through it, even when it was sped up. Content great, but couldn’t finish it.

I would have liked this book except for..

An easy listen with stories of personal experience from the narrator.
Great to listen to after listening to or reading "Into the Magic Shop".
Presents a great meditation practice for living from the heart.

Very moving and inspirational.
