BTS, a south korean boy band for "little girls" (I'm 29) made me discover "Demian" by Hermann Hesse because of their album "Wings" based on this book. They made me study Carl Gustave Jung's theories (to understand "Demian" and BTS' short films). Made me read a bunch of books to understand their music video and their lyrics, such as Haruki Murakami, Ursula Le Guinn, Alan Garner, Albert Camus, J.D. Salinger. They made me study the philosophy of F.Nietzsche. They made me watch the lessons about social justice by Michael Sandel (a political philosopher and professor at Harward University). They made me read about social studies and social stigma. Their hints become my spiritual guide through myself, because through reading this books and living some experiences I'm learning a lot about (and I'm working a lot on) myself. The title of their latest series of album "Love Yourself" is not for nothing. Through this journey, here I am. Even if I wasn't here for BTS, I wanted to read this book.

I'm reading the book while listening to the song and I just feel so happy, relaxed and overwhelmed. 💗 Thank you.

Im 67 yrs old. Found his talk interesting and will buy the book. And yes BTS brought me here.

I came here because BTS but stayed for Into The Magic Shop. things I do for my boys, lmao. not complaining tho, the book is really interesting so thanks BTS for introducing me to another masterpiece!!

This book should be available in all schools...

men such as Mr Doty is the reason we should be proud of many of our endeavours as human beings. Thank you!

Thank you, Dr.Doty I already read your book. Into the magic shop is amazing.

Fantastic insights. Thanks to BTS and BigHit Entertainment for directing me here.

i was here because i just finished reading the book,, it was rlly rlly good

It’s all ARMYs in here, what’s up fam!💜

Made it to 23:04 LOLOLOL. Did this in the first place for BTS but the topic is really helpful and interesting. I actually learned something applicable in life and not just to unlock BTS's concept 😊 (imma continue watching l8ter cuz i need rest lmao)

The things I do for Min Yoon Gi *softly exhale*...But at least now I that this book is a gem

just got the book from the library yesterday and this video popped up on youtube for me today my life has so many synchronizes happening all the time life is magical

Rap monster brings me here, Thankyou RM🙋🏻🤓

Not only did BTS bring me to this video but my Biological Psychology professor did as well. The concepts of this book saved me. Thank you for all you do and encouraging me to go on Dr. Doty.

@MoRo I'm choosing not to simply because Dr.Doty explains his concepts so well I really dont want to butcher his words. You can always watch the video 2x speed if you'd like.

One of my favorite books 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 into the Magic shop 🌌 thank you bts for knew me this book

That's all very well. I have an enormous amount of compassion for my parents who are addicts and made our life hell with the level of distress and outrageous amount of constant domestic violence for MY ENTIRE LIFE (and even when I was in the womb -- not so cool kicking your pregnant wife in the belly) -- I have huge compassion with their histories and why they became what they are -- it does not mean they have the right to double and triple their misery by coming together for 40 years and fucking up their children, and not even ever saying sorry. -- Here I am, myself a researcher at university, spending tons of money, time, and effort on somehow or other healing myself, because my life is absolute shit. It would have been nice if they had started healing themselves, so I don't have the Hercules task of generation after generation of trauma to heal. It is just too much for one little body, one person. -- We can have compassion, but we also need to establish and maintain boundaries, and say no to people who act outrageously and hurt and harm others (by harming themselves). Saying no is a powerful gift, too.

Dear Dr Florence, You have had a really tough life start. I hope and pray you can now find a path of compassion that will lead you to your own healing and then to healing others. Blessings.

I’ve been following along his guided meditation for a year nearly everyday. He’s taken down his website and I’m not able to accustom myself to other videos. Does anyone have his meditation videos downloaded and can please send it to me?

I haven't seen the whole video yet, but is it anyhow related to 'the magic shop' psychodrama, therapy technique ?

Coconut Pie I came here to find out exactly that, that if his book is related to the psychodrama therapy technique which is related to BTS' Fake Love teaser 1

bts hints???

Not so sure that statement about the mayor of louisville KY is true. His compassion seems to be funneled to the wealthy white neighborhoods and further impoverishing the disempowered. such as building a brand new civic center in an upscale neighborhood while closing the public library that served the poorer parts of town. Sons of friends of mine who go to private school in Louisville KY with the children of the mayor say that the mayors kids have private security and are separated from the general population of students. Karen Armstrong, a religious scholar started the Compassion Project a few years ago and at that time Louisville was a sister city. After hearing this statement from James Doty I checked the website of the Compassion Project and it no longer lists Louisville as a participant. Great Book Dr. Doty I am so glad you wrote this. Namaste

Here after BTS introduce this book

❤️❤️❤️

i finished reading d book.. and its so inspiring and enlightening.. its equally beautiful as d song magic shop by bts and can honestly be suited as ost for it. as i feel d emotions of d book more as i reading it while listening to d song.. d lyrics also speaks wd d book how we feel sometimes like comparing ourselves to odr we think more fortunate
