ABOUT THE BOOK
Circle of 8
Eight Ways to Heal in an Overstimulated World
After having major back surgery, I developed chronic pain and chronic illness. When I realized that pain management really meant stress management, I set off to learn everything I could about stress.I’ll take you with me around the world to places like the Amazon in Rainforest in Peru, Bali to practice breathwork, and New Zealand to meditate, offering a radical new view of stress and 8 very different ways to reduce it. I’ve interviewed dozens of top neuroscientists, psychologists, and sociologists. I share personal stories of extraordinary individuals who overcame major stressors through one of the 8 ways.
Circle of 8 provides a radically new view of health and true healing.

Kylie Swenson
Kylie Swenson is a writer, nervous system expert and author of Circle of 8. After having major back surgery at 14 years old that left her in chronic pain, Kylie has been on a journey to understand chronic illness, pain and true healing.
In 2023, Kylie began a 3 year, multi-continent investigation to uncover the root of chronic illness, chronic pain, and what it takes to truly heal. In Circle of 8: Eight Ways to Heal in an Overstimulated World, she exposes how our modern world works against our biological design, contributing to epidemic levels of chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and maladaptive coping behaviors.
The Circle of 8 reminds you of the innate healing power of your own body and teaches you how to create the conditions it needs to thrive.
