"The first time I nearly died, I didn't change anything. The second time, I had no choice."

A memoir of burnout, near-death, and learning to live slower.

For twenty-five years, Eyal Schwartz has worked with his hands: deep tissue, fascia, craniosacral therapy. He learned from teachers in India, Thailand and England. Yet it took two brushes with death for him to hear what the body had been saying all along.

Shift to a Lower Gear is the raw, honest story of what those moments taught him: most of us drive our lives too fast, in a gear we never chose, and the body always knows before the mind admits it.

In this book you will:

• Follow a healer's path from burnout to a slower, truer way of living
• See what thousands of hours of hands-on work reveal about how we hold stress, fear and old labels in the body
• Find simple ways to break your own cycles before they break you
