The Metaphysics of Self-Love
Every Relationship in Your Life Runs Downstream From the One With Yourself. This Is How You Make It the One That Changes Everything.
Most people spend their lives trying to fix the wrong relationship. The one with their partner. Their parent. Their career. Their body. The source is the relationship you have with yourself — the one that runs in the background of every decision you make, every room you walk into, every person you choose to love. This is how you rebuild it on your own terms.

God's in a Box on My Dresser
An Inquiry into the Human Capacity to Thrive
Also Available
Audiobook Edition
“I had spent years trying to fix myself. What I didn’t know was that I was never broken — I was just living from a story I never chose.”
— God’s in a Box on My Dresser"My mind did its best to understand, but the truth was I didn't need to understand how anything worked. My thoughts historically had been my kryptonite, but now they begot wisdom. My thoughts now had the capacity to summon my mind and soul to do their work but then get out of the way."
— Chapter 23: A Snake, A Sword & Skulls
Have you ever been confused by religion or doubted your relationship with God? Have you suffered childhood anguish or trauma and then used addiction to mute the pain? Have you ever felt desperate to thrive but felt stuck?
In God's In A Box On My Dresser, Luciana takes readers on her journey as she navigates her relationship with God and religion while traversing childhood abandonment, sexual abuse, and an eating disorder that almost took her life.
It is a story of redemption — of cultivating the capacity to take full responsibility for talk, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; of clocking disempowering narratives; and ultimately of finding healing, hope, and transformation on a little island in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle.
“I didn’t write this book because I had all the answers. I wrote it because I finally had the courage to ask the right questions.”
— Dr. Luciana Passeri

The Book That Moved People
“The book doesn’t just tell a story. It gives you a framework for your own.”
— Reader, Peru

The Author
A book is not written.
It is excavated.
Thirty-seven years of practice, thousands of conversations, and one Peruvian Amazon retreat later — Luciana Passeri wrote the book she had been living. God’s in a Box on My Dresser is not a memoir about what happened. It is a manual for what to do with it.

Chapter 4: Damned Kid
This is a chapter that stops people cold. It is the year Jesus came to Luciana while she was walking alone in the woods near her house in St. Cloud, Minnesota. It is also the story of the day she was left at Dayton's Department Store — and what that moment installed in her that she would spend decades unknowingly loyal to.
It is relatable. It is raw. And it is the chapter that most readers say made them feel, for the first time, that someone understood their story.

What People Are Saying
"An incredible journey into the heart of the jungle and the heart of its narrator. Luciana's memoir is a brave exploration of personal healing, growth, and the mysterious spiritual world that surrounds us. By putting traditional Western religion into conversation with Amazonian plant medicine, Passeri shows us that finding one's unique definition of a higher power can lead to the discovery of the kind of deeply profound healing we are all capable of and that we all deserve."
