NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The creators of The Tapping Solution reframe their groundbreaking program with the latest science and case studies to help you shift out of survival mode and reclaim your emotional freedom.

Are stress and anxiety taking a toll on your life? Do you want a scientifically validated, practical tool for lasting emotional relief?

Nick, Jessica, and Alex Ortner offer the answers you need to rewire your brain and regulate your nervous system. This transformative path to healing starts with the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or Tapping.

Since the publication of the Ortners’ first guide, The Tapping Solution, substantial advancements have occurred in neuroscience, trauma research, and somatic therapy. This new book integrates these latest scientific breakthroughs, providing a deeper, evidence-based understanding of why and how Tapping works—in perfect timing, because in our current climate of global anxiety we need emotional resilience more than ever.

Chapter by chapter, emotion by emotion, the Ortners explain the neuroscience behind common ailments like frustration, overwhelm, and self-doubt, and guide you through tailored tapping practices to shift you out of these feelings at their roots.

Using the latest neuroscience to explain why and how tapping works, the Ortners help you break free from survival mode, guiding you step by step through the process of emotional transformation. In this book, you’ll find:

Clear, science-based explanations of what’s happening in your brain and body when you’re triggered—and how tapping interrupts those patterns.
Step-by-step tapping scripts designed for specific emotional challenges, from daily irritations to long-held wounds.
Reflection prompts that help you identify your personal triggers and break free from reactive loops.
Real stories of transformation showing how tapping creates both immediate relief and lasting change.

More than just a guide to Tapping, this is a user manual for reclaiming control of your emotional well-being, stop living on autopilot, and create a more resilient life.

NICOLAS ORTNER is the CEO of The Tapping Solution, a company with a mission to bring simple, effective, natural healing into the mainstream with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or "tapping." Tapping is a healing modality based on ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.

Nick's goal is to empower people to create healthy, financially abundant and stress-free lives through his books, films, CDs, online events and speaking engagements attended by participants from all over the world.

His bestselling book, "The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living," was published by Hay House in 2013. Prior to that, Nick created and produced the breakthrough documentary film, "The Tapping Solution," which follows ten people who used tapping to overcome tremendous challenges, such as 30 years of chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, insomnia, devastating grief and more. Both Nick's book and film document real and extraordinary results that have inspired tens of thousands to follow suit by successfully applying tapping to their lives.

Nick has also produced first-of-their kind online programs that teach easy, effective ways to apply tapping to anything limiting a person's life or health. Some noteworthy examples are: The "Tapping World Summit," a free, worldwide online event that just celebrated its fifth successful season and has been attended by over 500,000 people (www.tappingworldsummit.com); the "Tapping Insiders Club," a monthly membership program filled with articles, interviews, and videos with experts from the tapping field (www.tappinginsidersclub.com); and Nick's popular seven-week EFT coaching programs, which cover common issues such as finances, weight loss and more.

A dynamic speaker, Nick has presented breakthrough live tapping sessions and has shared the stage with speakers such as Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Lynne McTaggart, Dr. Joseph Mercola, and others.

Nick and the Tapping Solution team are committed to spreading tapping throughout the world, and particularly to supporting its revolutionary and world-changing usage. They've raised over $250,000 for tapping-related charities such as ProjectLight: Rwanda, which aids genocide victims in that country, The Veterans Stress Project, for veterans with PTSD, and You Can Thrive! for women with cancer. In 2013, Nick created The Tapping Solution Foundation, which has already raised over $100,000 for charitable work in Newtown, CT to support the community after the tragic shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Nick lives in Newtown, CT with his wife, Brenna and is already working on his next book.
