“Do What Feels Good” by Hannah Bronfman

From Instagram influencer and lifestyle and fashion it-girl Hannah Bronfman, a guide to finding a health and wellness routine that doesn’t punish or deprive, but works and feels good to you, including over 70 recipes from HB’s kitchen

Whether walking a red carpet, shooting a campaign for Adidas, or posting a workout to her nearly half a million Instagram followers, Hannah Bronfman is the picture of health. But she’ll be the first one to admit that the road to wellness and self-acceptance isn’t easy. As a woman of color who grew up watching a close family member struggle with an eating disorder, she’s had to forge her own path and create her own standards of beauty. And what she’s learned is this: wellness should not be an unachievable aspiration, and self-care should not feel self-punishing. Healthy is beautiful. And healthy should feel good.

In Do What Feels Good, Hannah offers up a buffet of self-care practices that are not only good for you but are also fun and pleasurable—things you’ll want to do for yourself instead of things that feel like chores. As a model, exercise junkie, food-lover, beauty product addict, and wellness entrepreneur, Hannah has access to the latest trends and the best experts. She’s tried it all, and she shares it all because she knows that there is no one-size-fits-all equation for health and happiness.

Divided into three parts: BODY, FOOD, and LIFE, Do What Feels Good shows, readers, how to get in touch with their body’s natural rhythms and identify what they crave as what they need. There are no rules, just information, advice, and tools—including over 70 recipes from Hannah’s kitchen repertoire—that empower readers to make small changes that align with their body’s needs. Because the ultimate measure of wellness isn’t how you look, it’s how you feel.

Invincible Living: The Power of Yoga, The Energy of Breath, and Other Tools for a Radiant Life by Guru Jagat

From acclaimed yoga teacher, Guru Jagat comes a wildly cool, practical, and beautifully illustrated guide to applying the simple and super-effective technology of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation to everyday life, upgrading your "operating system" inside and out.

With Invincible Living, Guru Jagat shares a radical way of understanding yoga—not just as something to do in practice, but as a broader principle for living. Candid, encouraging, and irreverent, Guru Jagat shows how Kundalini Yoga—which forgoes complex poses for energy-boosting, breath-driven exercises, quick meditations, and simple poses most of which you can do at your desk—can reset your life and well-being, regardless of your age or background.

Designed explicitly for everyday people, not ashram-going or gym-bodied yogis, fast, effective Kundalini techniques can be done anywhere, from the car to the conference room. There’s no need to have a bendy back or toned arms. You don’t even need a mat: just a quiet space to clear your head, and as little as a minute out of your day.

From beauty and self-care to work and relationships, Invincible Living tackles both the mind—from mood elevation and stress reduction to renewed mental clarity—and the body—from anti-aging, and increased metabolism to amped-up energy. Packed with tips, exercises, and step-by-step instructions and fully photographed and illustrated in Guru Jagat’s fresh, handmade-meets-hipster style, Invincible Living is fresh take on ancient wisdom: a must-have guide for anyone who wants simple, effective, tools for a supercharged life as taught by a uniquely compelling teacher who upends all preconceptions about yoga.

 Bio:

Guru Jagat is the founder of RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology, a Kundalini yoga school with locations in Venice, California; Mallorca, Spain; and New York City, and the author of the bestselling book Invincible Living: The Power of Yoga, The Energy of Breath, and Other Tools for a Radiant Life (available in English, French and German).

Guru Jagat first met Yogi Bhajan in 2002 and that encounter crystallized her prior spiritual explorations and launched her on the path of a Kundalini yoga teacher. As the Piscean patriarchal energies fade into history, Guru Jagat has emerged as a leading global figure helping to create, delineate and refine the new feminine matriarchal archetype. In 2017 Guru Jagat created the Aquarian Women's Leadership Society, which has members in over 20 countries.

Guru Jagat is also the founder and CEO of RA MA TV; RA MA Records; and RA MA Foundation.

“Disrupt-Her: A Manifesto for the Modern Woman” by Miki Agrawal

From the co-founder of THINX and hellotushy.com, start-ups collectively valued at more than $150 million, comes DISRUPT-HER, a rallying cry for women to radically question the status quo.

This manifesto galvanizes us to action in 13 major areas of our lives with as much firepower as possible. These are the credos we live by, the advice we give to friends, the tenets we instill in our companies and peers on a daily basis. Stories of badass female movers and shakers are shared in this book too to give you an extra jolt of "I've got this." It's a whole-body F*CK YES to your work, your love, your relationships, and your mission--while doing it all authentically, unapologetically, and with full integrity.
