A neurosurgeon's true story of the life-changing magic of compassion and mindfulness

I really enjoyed this read. A lot of great lessons shared on life, what's important, living your passion, being grateful, giving back in a way that's meaningful, reflecting on thoughts, feelings and actions, foregiving yourself while also learning from the experience, taking initiative, and acting from a compassionate and selflessness space.

This book is full of enchanting words that warm your heart and really open your eyes. I have read many books dealing with compassion; however, Into the Magic Shop deals with this on a whole new level. It heals your wounds and opens your mind.
I would have given this book 10 stars (sadly there are only 5)

A wonderful book that will make you want to savor every page. There is much wisdom contained herein, difficult times make for strong people. James tells his story in a compelling and interesting manner. You will only be glad that you read this delightful book.

it is amazing!! just was exciting to read and now am putting It into action. I have practice some of this Magic if you want to call it that... now putting my energy into a full concept. To be able to pass it along to my Grandchildren.. and friends.. The mind and brain have a more complete understanding now. I feel that small children could be helped especially those that do not receive Positive comments everyday.!!

This book has opened my eyes to all the possibilities we hold in our hearts. I only hope in the time I have to live that I might be able to learn really learn a bit of Ruth's magic. This is not said for anyone in particular but for everyone.

The most inspiring book that teaches humanity what is truly important! I recommend highly to those who seek answers and feel discouraged about their own lives.
Read it and pass along you own MAGIC! ❤️??⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Doty’s narrative is very real, readers can listen his voice coming from his insights infused from his compassion and intellect. God trained him hard but that was his path. And we goes our own path to reach to the place of kindness and compassion.

Great read. The story is the perfect vehicle for exploring the magic shop of our mind and mediation. It did the trick for me and I recommend for anyone who wants just a bit more peace and meaning in their life.

Found this book thru a meditation app - and it is a very compelling story. I absolutely love books that are inspirational - and this one is a 10. The added bonus of mindfulness leading to all the right outcomes makes it special.

I related to this book on a few different levels. The eye opener for me was the process of opening your heart. My husband is currently terminally ill and I use meditation as a path to clear my mind and keep stress levels in check. This book has some great, well written instructions on meditation and the technics to achieve balance. Good read #lifelessons

I really enjoyed this book. It isn't the deepest book in the world, but I believe that you create your own reality, and Dr. Doty's life is a testament to that belief. Very interesting and a quick read.
