OUT OF STOCK Pre-Order Package Human: Expansive Edition (paperback, signed, message, workbook)
For all “self-helpers” and self-healers looking for deep and connected transformation, you’re invited into a world of expansion. While most self-help books focus on our inner worlds, this book invites us to see where our inner and outer worlds come together, connecting our self-help and self-healing journeys to a force that is larger than ourselves: the thread of our humanity. This book is not a self-improvement project; it’s a reorientation of your being.
In this Expansive Edition, Vanessa Ferlaino revisits core themes of her award-winning book, “human”, five years later. With ripened wisdom and raw vulnerability, she challenges her own intentions, shares new revelations, and dives deeper into the vague experiences touched on in her original work – and why she was unable to speak about them before. This edition features opening words by acclaimed mindfulness teacher, Hiro Demichelis; a foreword by Chip Skowron, paving the way for returning citizens post-incarceration; a new introduction; the full first edition; and a hearty, all-encompassing reflection by the author.
“In exploring the depths of my inner world, I discovered something profound. Deep within us, lies the world. I wrote this book to invite us all onto this journey of inner and outer transformation.”— Vanessa Ferlaino
Vanessa is a two-time award-winning author, host of The Human Challenge, and founder of The Being Human Foundation. As a Certified 200-hr Mindfulness Teacher — Professional Level (CMT-P), she specializes in trauma-informed offerings and social justice. She holds numerous board positions and offers free mentorship to returning citizens with a history of incarceration. Vanessa is humbled by the recognition from national and international news outlets, including CTV, CityNews, and more.
