Intimately and without jargon, How to Wake Up: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Navigating Joy and Sorrow, describes the path to peace amid all of life's ups and downs. Using step by step instructions, the author illustrates how to be fully present in the moment without clinging to joy or resisting sorrow. This opens the door to a kind of wellness that goes beyond circumstances.

Actively engaging life as it is in this fashion holds the potential for awakening to a peace and well-being that are not dependent on whether a particular experience is joyful or sorrowful. This is a practical audiobook, containing dozens of exercises and practices, all of which are illustrated with easy-to-relate to personal stories from the author's experience.

It helps emphasize self empowering of control over emotional takeover as an old habit. It helps create the power to pause and choose with good comparisons and examples, Paradigm shifting,

So easy and refreshing

This book was well written and presented. The author used personal experience and very personal discoveries to make the content very relatable. There were many bits of wisdom and simple practices to quickly incorporate into your daily routine. Very pleasant to listen to, kind to self, and easy to consume.
