Awaken - by Rajendra Sisodia (Hardcover)

About the Book

"The topics of self-awareness and elevating consciousness are subjects of perennial interest. That is especially true in the present times. We are in the midst of a fundamental transition; over the last few years, we have been experiencing multiple awakenings: the "me too" movement, the acknowledgment of systemic racism, the need to rethink capitalism, the elevation of the feminine, the existential threat of climate change, the rapid erosion of our ecosystem and the need for greater global cooperation to combat shared challenges such as pandemics. Along with a growing recognition of these enormous challenges, we have also experienced a steep rise in psychic suffering: anxiety, depression, drug addiction and suicides have all increased significantly. There is a need for a contemporary, easy to understand and easy to implement guide to how each of us can achieve inner peace, healing and a life of purpose. That is what this book is intended to provide"--

Book Synopsis

Awaken: A Journey to Purpose, Wholeness, Healing, and Impact

Awaken delivers a contemporary and accessible guide to how each of us can experience a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in a world that is rife with anxiety, depression, and addiction. Drawing on the distinguished author's lifetime of accumulated insights and experience, Awaken guides readers on a journey to achieve complete alignment between who they are, what they say, what they do, and how they relate to others.

People are traumatized and polarized the world over. By healing our traumas, uniting the polarities in our lives, and connecting to our deepest purpose, we can attain personal power and amplify our positive impact on the world. Most people have chosen not to deal with their trauma; they conceal it, numb it, and relive it. Through the prism of the author's life journey, Awaken shows us how to mine the ups and downs of our lives to experience "post-traumatic growth."

Written for anyone with even a passing interest in improving their inner life and making a difference in the world, Awaken provides proven tools and practical advice that allow readers to know themselves, love themselves, be themselves, and express themselves. Readers will learn how to grow their personal power by building self-trust, cultivating presence, drawing healthy boundaries, leaning into necessary conflict, and challenging orthodoxies. Awaken will help readers see their lives differently in order to transform their experience of living.
