Publisher's Summary
The award-winning New York Times best seller that inspired BTS' K-pop song 'Magic Shop'.
The day that 12-year-old James Doty walked in to his local magic shop is the day that changed his life.
Once the neglected son of an alcoholic father and a mother with chronic depression, he has gone on to become a leading neurosurgeon, based at Stanford University. He credits Ruth for this incredible turnaround: the remarkable woman he met at the Cactus Rabbit Magic Shop, who devoted the summer to transforming his mind and opening his heart.
In this uplifting memoir, Jim explains the visualisation techniques Ruth taught him that gave him the self-esteem to imagine a new future for himself. He examines the science behind mindfulness and why the skills he learned - of focus and attention - now help him to think fast and keep calm in the operating theatre. And he shows us what is possible when you start to change your brain and your heart. Into the Magic Shop imparts some powerful life lessons about how to live better and inspires us to believe that we all have inside us the capacity to change our own destiny.

Great Story. Great Lessons
I loved the way this book was structured and delivered. I learn so well from stories and this one is fascinating. I love that Dr Doti is able to use both his magic and his profession/research to back up why we are such powerful beings. Our brain and heart together can change the world…even if it’s one story at a time.

This book should be compulsory
I was moved and enlightened. Thank you 🙏🏼 I believe that it should be read in schools and Ruth’s methods taught. Kindness and love are fundamental for all. I genuinely loved it.
