Deep Healing is a surreal self-help book disguised as a comedy-or maybe the other way around. Created by comedian Greg Barris and Michelle Newman.

Through magik affirmations, laugh meditations and breathing exercises, Deep Healing is a book of poetic instructions for life, that invites the reader to a remembering of their truest, wisest self...and how that self is wrong. This is healing that doesn't take itself too seriously-because healing is serious business, and nobody likes that.

Greg Barris illuminates practical ways to survive the apocalypse and he does it using joy and humor. You can happily tuck this guide in your pocket, but you won't want to keep it hidden away for long, because, especially in times like these, the magik Greg conjures needs to be read aloud and shared. Deep Healing is a portal, and he's inviting us to fly through it.

Perfect for burned-out creatives, recovering perfectionists, soft witches and blood wizards-everyone allergic to traditional self-help.

Dimensions: 4"x6"
Paperback, 194 pages
ISBN: 979-8-234-08867-3

What People are Saying:


Deep Healing is my Bible. -- TIG NOTARO

I'm convinced this book could heal me. -- KATE BERLANT

This book is comedic meditation in written form. I needed these new perspectives to just think and feel and breathe something different. I will read this multiple times, every year. -- RORY SCOVEL

Anomalous Learning. Love Existential Greg. Rolls Along. It's my new favorite beach read. -- JARED HARRIS

In a world where even the human soul can be commoditized, Deep Healing commits a welcome act of spiritual piracy. It's a self-help book disguised as a joke - or maybe a joke disguised as dharma. The 1960s had Abbie Hoffman, Paul Krassner, and Alan Watts. Today, we have Greg Barris. -- DOUG RUSHKOFF

About-to-be-first-time reader, are you in for a treat. Not only because Greg Barris illuminates some practical ways to survive the apocalypse, but because he does so with joy and humor. You can happily tuck this guide in your pocket, but you won't want to keep it hidden away for long, because, especially in times like these, the magic Greg conjures needs to be read aloud and shared. We met over twenty years ago when Greg was paying his dues as a standup comic in the bowels of Times Square, finding ways to keep his levity. Without exactly understanding why, I listed him under "Oracle" in my contacts. Perhaps I caught an early glimpse of the deep art he was beginning to practice even way back then, in the basement of a comedy club, where he toiled away for his minutes on stage. His powers are out in the wide open, now. Deep Healings is a portal, and he's inviting us to fly through it. -- ADRIAN LeBLANCJournalist and author of Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx.
