BOOK OF THE Moment: AUG/SEPT 2020
HEAL: Discover Your Unlimited Potential and Awaken the Powerful Healer Within
By Kelly Noonan Gores
“The truth is, we have more control over our health and life than we have been led to believe, and that belief is at the core of our body’s capacity to heal itself.”
ABOUT THE FILM + THE BOOk
Director Kelly Noonan Gores' documentary takes us on a scientific and spiritual journey where we discover that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have a huge impact on our health and ability to heal. The latest science reveals that we are not victims of unchangeable genes, nor should we buy into a scary prognosis.
The fact is we have more control over our health and life than we have been taught to believe. This film will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all.
And with more than double the content than the Heal Documentary, the Heal book is a beautiful reference guide for your healing journey.
WHY I CHOSE THIS BOOK, by SHELF HELP FOUNDER TONI
It’s a brilliant look at the mind-body connection: I think that self-help works best when we are looking at our holistic selves - mind, body and soul, and Heal is a superb blend of science and spirituality that really highlights how our mental, physical and spiritual selves are so powerfully connected. If you are - or have been told you are - chronically sick this book will be a great introduction to some of the healing modalities you might want to consider alongside more 'modern’ medicine. But you don’t need to be ill or in need of obvious physical healing to enjoy and benefit from this book. Most of us suffer from stress, insomnia, anxiety or overwhelm at times, all of which can be addressed by looking at our thoughts, feelings and beliefs before we reach for the prescriptions. As director Kelly says: "This book is an exploration of what's possible when it comes to healing and will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all."

The all-star self-help line-up: The film - and book - feature an incredible roster of experts, teachers, doctors and healers including Marianne Williamson, Bruce Lipton, Deepak Chopra, Bernie Siegel, Anita Moorgani and Dr David Hamilton, and so as well as the research and testimonials covered by the Heal team there’s the opportunity to introduce and share lots more self-improvement ideas, tools and techniques for those interested in really diving in to this subject.
✨
The format: Heal was a film first, a book second, and while we are officially a book club there are so many ways to share the magic of self-help and I love the idea of learning about and leaning into different types of content with our members and followers. So as well as the Heal documentary and book we’ll also be looking at TED talks and podcasts from the different experts featured, and I’ll be sharing exercises and workshops based on all of these things with our clubhouse members over the two months.
