Wake Up!: Daily Lessons for a More Liberated and Loving Life

WAKE UP! IS FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO EXPERIENCE GREATER ILLUMINATION AND CLARITY IN HIS OR HER OWN LIFE. It aspires to make us smile, open a few stuck doors, rouse us from a moral slumber, and make our days and nights more bearable and beautiful by waking us up to a state of conscious, deep awareness. In short, these are proven lessons designed to help nourish a sense of spiritual wakefulness, in each day and in every moment. More importantly, these are not the familiar principles and perspectives that we’ve often seen before. They are unconventional–even quirky and edgy–pointers that awaken us to live a more balanced and well-integrated life. “Reading Tom Owen-Towle’s book can be risky; if you read it carefully you may actually wake up.” —Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of Recovery, the Sacred Art “This book is like drinking in the wisdom of the earth and every sentient being living upon it—luminous, welcoming, and eloquent.” —Pilar M.
