NOVEMBER NEW RELEASES
The Integrity Advantage by Kelly Kosow
Are you ready to open up to new levels of self-trust and self-love, to get where you want to go?
You vowed to speak up at work, and then sat silent in the meeting yet again.
You told yourself “this time the diet is going to stick,” only to watch the scale inching up.
You felt that something just wasn’t right about someone that—until you learned the hard way that your instincts were right.
“Every time you bite your tongue,” teaches Kelley Kosow, “you swallow your integrity.”
Before Kelley Kosow was a renowned life coach and CEO, she constantly second-guessed herself, let her “to-do” lists and others steer her dreams and passions, and played it “small and safe.”
Inspired by the groundbreaking principles of her renowned mentor Debbie Ford, who hand-picked Kelley to be her successor, The Integrity Advantage is Kelley’s step-by-step guide for facing the fear, shame, and false beliefs that cause us to lose our way.
Through life-changing insights, true stories, and proven strategies, this book will show you how to live on your own terms—according to you—from the inside out.
Daring to Rest by Karen Brody
As modern women, we’re taught that we can do it all, have it all, and be it all. While this freedom is beautiful, it’s also exhausting. Being a “worn-out woman” is now so common that we think feeling tired all the time is normal. According to Karen Brody, feeling this exhausted is not normal—and it’s holding us back. In Daring to Rest, Brody comes to the rescue with a 40-day program to help you reclaim rest and access your most powerful, authentic self through yoga nidra, a meditative practice that guides you into one of the deepest states of relaxation imaginable.
It’s time to lie down and begin the journey to waking up

Leopard Warrior by John Lockley
A Teaching Memoir That Crosses the Barriers Between Worlds
A shaman is one who has learned to move between two worlds: our physical reality and the realm of spirits. For John Lockley, shamanic training also meant learning to cross the immense divide of race and culture in South Africa.
As a medic drafted into the South African military in 1990, John Lockley had a powerful dream. “Even though I am a white man of Irish and English descent, I knew in my bones that I had received my calling to become a sangoma, a traditional South African shaman,” John writes. “I felt blessed by the ancient spirit of Africa, and I knew that I had started on a journey filled with magic and danger.” His path took him from the hills of South Korea, where he trained as a student under Zen Master Su Bong, to the rural African landscape of the Eastern Cape and the world of the sangoma mystic healers, where he found his teacher in the medicine woman called MaMngwev
Things That Join the Sea and the Sky by Mark Nepo
A Reader for Navigating the Depths of Our Lives
The Universe holds us and tosses us about, only to hold us again. With Things That Join the Sea and the Sky, Mark Nepo brings us a compelling treasury of short prose reflections to turn to when struggling to keep our heads above water, and to breathe into all of our sorrows and joys.
Inspired by his own journal writing across 15 years, this book shares with us some of Mark’s most personal work. Many passages arise from accounts of his own life events—moments of “sinking and being lifted”—and the insights they yielded. Through these passages, we’re encouraged to navigate our own currents of sea and sky, and to discover something fundamental yet elusive: How, simply, to be here.
To be enjoyed in many ways—individually, by topic, or as an unfolding sequence—Things That Join the Sea and the Sky presents 145 contemplations gathered into 17 themes, each intended to illuminate specific situations.

I’d like to win because I’d like to read all three!

I would like to win these books because during this financial and physical hardship I am experiencing at this time it would be a great answer to prayer do you have tools to help me learn to be OK to feel feelings, be vulnerable and courageous, as well as learning how to grieve my old ideas and create a new life.

All the titles speak to me. Within the last month I lost my grandma and my husband his dad. Finding peace and getting through these times knowing all is ok is my dream now.

These lovely works of art would aid in my already blessed fight in/of life. I recently found gems such as “women who run with the wolves” via sounds true and since then have been plugged into your podcasts and absorbed every gem of knowledge and experience I could possible receive from your platform. Having just overcome homelessness and dejection from an overculture I am just finding my roots within myself internally, and new home externally. I have found my art and priceless wisdoms to keep me afloat whilst I struggle everyday in fight with my chronic illness in a new life and new identity. I am independent but truly depend on the works of doctors/writers/people of experience on your show/site and many like yours. On weeks of disparity and healing I find hope in these works and would love nothing more then to growl with those gifts and one day be well enough to give back in writing art and therapy myself. Thank you.
I have a grandaughter who is searching to find who she is in this very difficult and confusing culture. She is reaching out and asking question and trying to come out of the fog of medications doctors put her on for depression. It’s heart breaking to see how the medical system has taken over this young women’s life and convinced her that there is a medication for every feeling she is experiencing. I, as a grandmother am very upset that she is on so many medications and now in search of identity she thinks she is a boy. Of course her therapist is willing to prescribe testesteron without making sure that it’s a right path for her. I am hopeful thay she will find herself because she is reaching out and asking good question about meaning of life, looking through my books and even willing to go to our sangha at our Buddhist Center here in Philadelphia. I think the books would be great for her to start her on her own path of healing.
Thank you very much
P.S. We the family do not comment and contrdict her doctors recomendation understanding thay it would be more confusing and damiging to her.
These books would help me deal with my 98 year old mother who has spent her years critizing me. It is more vile than ever as she blames me for everything in her life [she lives in a nice retirement home] & perfers to be the ‘victim’. I don’t want to end her life full of resentment & pain which are bubbling under the surface & eating away at me so need some skills to provide comfort in her last few years
I Am a 65 years young,self-help guru and spiritual student on the awakening journey. I suffered severe agoraphobia for fifteen years,early in my marriage, while being a devoted mother of Three. I was totally incapacitated and felt like a prisoner in my own home. Dan Milmans book The Peaceful Warrior was one of my many treasured books that helped me on my healing journey. I have been an avid fan of sounds true and their multitude of programs and authors for years. Through sounds true and other self help programs on mindfulness and meditation I fought my way to where I am today. A healthy young senior who thinks of herself as the Peaceful Warrior, ready to be in service as a light worker to all I meet. Having this package in my toolkit would help facilitate this intention! Namaste
I accept myself where I am and am open to embrace growth. The titles are all appealing, especially the Dan Millman. I am grateful for the opportunity to apply for this offer.
I realized early on that the more you learn, the more you realize you have to learn. It took me much longer to realize that this endeavor is a beautiful, lifelong journey. Dan Millman’s first book actually played a big role in that shift and I’m a huge, grateful fan. My significant other came from this mentality of, “That’s just the way I am and you need to accept it,” and although it took years, we finally deciphered the difference between trying to change one another versus learning and growing, both individually, and as a couple. We recently made a commitment to one another with this fresh belief in growing for the rest of our lives on behalf of ourselves, our family, and our tribe. These books would be a fantastic way to start this journey.
Hi Angie! Thank you so much, you are one of our lucky winners. Please send us your address so that we can get these books over to you asap! Please send your email to staceyv@soundstrue.com.
Thank you, Stacey. I’m so honored and excited for these books!! Can’t wait to share what I learn with the world!
I would love to win as they all sound very interesting and enlightening especially It’s ok that you’re not ok. I’ve struggled with various things all my life but the last 4 years have been and still are the worst in terms of intensity and closeness in time, since losing the 3 closest people to me one after the other, my stepdad who raised me, my marriage of 20 years since age 21 then to top it all off my Mum out of the blue. She was always my closest parent. Still struggling to deal with her estate and even though sometimes I know its not true, I often feel like I am never going to get over and through all this. It still affects me every day and every day is a struggle. I dont feel like I am over any of the 3 losses. I am hard on myself and dont love and accept and care for myself the way I should and none of this helps in the situation either. The title grabbed me for all those reasons. I know people have and are going through much worse things in this world and so theres still much to be grateful for but that doesnt stop the pain and struggle at times.
Finding joy listening to inspiring lessons as I drive around town and in my commute. It’s okay not to be okay is on my tbr list and raising resilience sounds promising as well. Thanks for this opportunity!
I am very interested in self help books. I have gone through a lot of trauma in my lifetime and would love to add these to my library.
I would love to win these books as I am at a Crossroads in my life. After losing my 29 year old daughter last year I just don’t know how to find peace and really live life.!! I feel like I am faking it. I’m scared of letting my grief come to the surface….it’s just too painful. I believe all three books would help me. Thank you for the opportunity. Mary Musso
As a seeker I am always looking for more quality works to add to my ever-expanding library. The audiobook would be a welcome addition for my work commute.
I would love to read all of these books (the Millman ones again!) but I would particularly like to read the one about grief. My best friend lost his daughter just before her 13th birthday, and he and his wife are still struggling, 16 months later. I’d like to read it for myself, and to pass it on to them.
I would love to win these new books to help me with self development. I am at a stage in my life that it would truly help and not only me but loved ones. Because if I better myself, my loved ones better themselves to. It’s a pay it forward thing. I would share it with others. I would make the books come to not only life but frutation.
Thank you all so much for your heart felt entries! We love you! Please stay tuned for November’s giveaway!
