Rute Cardoso to launch two books at São Paulo Book Biennial

Writer and integrative therapist Rute Cardoso will present two new books at the 2026 São Paulo International Book Biennial on September 10. The works are published in a bilingual format, featuring both Portuguese and English.

The first book, ‘A Paz Interior em Meio ao Caos’ (Inner Peace Amidst Chaos), is a solo work by Cardoso. It focuses on breaking automatic stress responses and provides methods for emotional self-regulation, such as the ‘Connection Formula’, mindfulness techniques, and breathing exercises like Box Breathing.

The second book, ‘O Despertar Integrativo’ (The Integrative Awakening), was co-authored with clinical psychologist Celina Figueiredo. This collaboration integrates behavioral and contemplative neuroscience with modern psychology and integrative practices to address resilience, mental clarity, and self-care in a high-stimulus world.
