What do you do when you’ve achieved everything you were told would make you happy, but it doesn’t? Professionally, Dana Shalit thought she had it all: a six-figure income, awards, and accolades. But inside, she felt empty, lost, and anxious. It wasn’t until a friend and psychotherapist asked if she’d be willing to try something unusual—a past life regression—that everything began to change in the best possible way.

What followed was a decade-long journey from glittering galas to the jungles of Costa Rica and the sacred mountains of Peru, deep into the subconscious mind and back. Through past life regression, hypnotherapy, and quiet revelations, Dana discovered what no amount of achievement could give her: herself.

Pathways to Self is both a deeply honest memoir and a practical guide. Across nine steps—from Self-Awareness to Self-Realization—Dana shares the milestones, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs that reshaped her understanding of success, purpose, and love. Each chapter closes with reflection questions and guided practices so you can walk your own path home to yourself.

This book isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about finally remembering who you’ve always been.
