Don’t Just Breathe, a self-help memoir that is entertaining, motivational and funny, was recently released by author John Graziano, a massage therapist for cancer centers in the Tucson area. A portion of proceeds from book sales go to Integrative Touch for Kids (IntegrativeTouch.org) and National Alliance on Mental Illness of Southern Arizona (namisa.org).

Graziano pursued innovative thinking through his massage career while working for top resorts throughout the country. He combined this with what he learned from conversations and observations, filtered through his immense compassion, and came up with a collection of humorous stories and thoughtful insights that causes one to not only look at the issues he addresses, but also to look at all things differently.

That, in turn, inspires one to ponder events of daily life from the aspect of whether they make sense for all involved and are true to our soul. No preaching, no dogma—just interesting things to think about from alternative perspectives that can help jog us out of our thinking ruts.

The book is available on Amazon, both in paperback and e-books. Connect at [email protected].
