By age 40, Dan Sykes seemed to have all the cash and prizes most men want-the beautiful wife, the happy kids, the thriving business-without ever surrendering to a mundane life. That is, until everything unraveled.After a difficult divorce, Sykes felt old, heavy and not thrilled to embark on bachelor life with a gut-all while his ex-wife raised their three kids next door in their small Maine town. Feeling mentally, physically and emotionally broken, Sykes set out to change his life by finding out who he really was.After Sykes went to a seminar in Paris, he stumbled into the world of Systema. During a an intense training session (with a grown man shoving wooden sticks into his back), Sykes had an experience that changed his life.By leaning into his fear of physical pain and intense sensation, Sykes saw that Systema's mindful movement and impact were unlocking his internal cage of tension-a cage he hadn't known about that had been holding him back for decades. Hungry for more, Sykes traversed the globe to train with masters of somatic arts both ancient and modern. In the process, he discovered that despite Western fitness and lifestyle stereotypes, anybody can become more fit, relaxed and comfortable in their skin-regardless of their age or size.In Somatic Fanatic, Sykes chronicles his 10-year journey of self-transformation in pursuit of better living through a better-functioning nervous system. His journey shows that a freer and richer life is possible for anyone-and that somatic training has the potential to revolutionize Western conceptions of health and wellness.

Newly reissued in trade paperback, from the author of the bestselling Man's Search for Meaning--the classic book in which he first laid out his revolutionary theory of logotherapy. Dr. Viktor E. Frankl is celebrated as the founder of logotherapy, a revolutionary mode of psychotherapy based on the essential human need to search for meaning in life. Even while suffering the degradation and misery of Nazi concentration camps--an experience he described in his bestselling memoir, Man's Search for Meaning--Frankl retained his belief that the most important freedom is the ability to determine one's spiritual well-being. After his liberation, he published The Doctor and the Soul, the first book in which he explained his method and his conviction that the fundamental human motivation is neither sex (as in Freud) nor the need to be appreciated by society (as in Adler), but the desire to live a purposeful life. Frankl's work represented a major contribution to the field of psychotherapy, and The Doctor and the Soul is essential to understanding it.
