Publisher's Summary

Awareness awakens you to the truth that you possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled.

Happiness is your natural state. You don't need to do anything to acquire it; you only need to drop something. This audiobook shows you what that is. There is not a single person who ever gave time to being aware who’s quality of life didn't change.

You see life differently because you are different. You respond to people and situations differently. You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive. When you finally awake, you don't try to make good things happen; they just happen. You understand suddenly that everything that happens to you is good. You understand that all is well, even at times when things seem a mess. You discover that there is a loving force surrounding you at all times that is always within reach, always right here in your midst, making your life meaningful and beautiful and rich.

A witty wise man

I enjoyed the content in this audiobook. It wasn’t until after I finished that I discovered this man is no longer alive, he passed away in 1987. His teachings are timeless and more relevant now than ever. More people need to listen to this man. His teachings echo what other great mystics, Toltecs and spiritual guides have been saying and the most prevalent is awareness is love, love is awareness. He goes on how we identify with labels. I am anxious, depressed, lonely. You are not these things yet we identify ourselves as such. I am experiencing these things, they are not me. I am this I am that we think we know what we are, the truth is we only know what we are not. Very deep and to the point. Makes you think. I’m grateful for what he shared and my life is forever changed. The way forward is love. Our programming and conditioning has tainted us. Going to look for more content by him.

Look out! This book may change your life.

I had to digest this book in small pieces. The concepts felt like assault at times. It was an assault on so many of my beliefs, my addictions as he calls them. I’ll definitely be listening again… and then probably again.

You can judge this book by its cover

Well, it’s exactly what the title says! I learned so much about awareness. You couldn’t keep this book out of my mouth when I was talking to friends, family etc. I learned so much from this quick witted, sharp tongued spiritual figure. I learned about this book from Tim Ferriss and I’m glad that I gave it a go.

A book to come back to again and again

I really loved the teachings and the stories in this book. It delivers invaluable lessons on how to live a good life. I found a lot of value in how the author talks about letting go of attachments. The audio quality wasn't great but I think that's because it was a recording of a live talk. So good that I bought a hardcopy halfway through the audio book because I want to go back and underline my favorite quotes!

Amazing presentation. So happy for the audio!

Reading the book was life changing. Anthony explains spiritual concepts that seem confusing when anyone else teaches them and makes them understandable and actionable. He is so full of joy and brings this important practice of awareness and its power to life with humor and clarity simultaneously . The book and the audio are a joy. I'm so happy for the audio because it infuses even more of his energy than the book allows. Same amazing content. Even more energy and accessibility for repeat "reading". Books like this I want to listen to again and again to learn at a deep level and apply it. I gain something new from every listen. Highly recommend the book and the audio. Thank you so much to the Anthony De Mello Center for making this audio available in Tony's voice. I was wishing for this!!

Spiritual Entertainment

I did not like this personally as I found the laughter of the audience in the background to be quite distracting. I also thought that the tone was a little too casual. The subject being discussed is a serious matter but this felt more like spiritual entertainment. People will be entertained and feel like they have understood something and then get back to their regular business. This is not what I am looking for. Spirituality for me, at this point in my life, is a matter of life and death.

Wisdom

The learnings which Anthony DeMello shares in this book fell like a hammer on my mind and in my heart. I ordered the hard copy as well to remote. To this audio and underline and re-write so I can memorize it and engrain it in my being.

Worth the read but fundamentally wrong in my humble opinion

While there is plenty of useless chatter about nothing, this book is worth the read. The narration and story telling was enjoyable. There are plenty of pearls of wisdom and some practical advice, but you have to get through some bullshit to find them. The author makes some good points and tells enjoyable stories and parables. However, my problem with this book is that the author’s philosophy and beliefs relies on the post modernist view that truth does not exist.....only ones point view or belief. This is academic crap. Good luck living your life that way.

Life changing

If you are looking for one work that covers everything you need to know about how to start improving yourself, look no further

This audio book is a recording of the author giving a series of lectures on awareness so you can hear the reaction of the audience (mostly laughter) and it feels more authentic than some audiobooks of the same topics.

Some other reviews have noted that listening to the author lecture was distracting but I think improved the experience.

Utter schlock

The usual mix of nonsense from a charlatan “guru”. You have a problem - you need to wake up. But I can’t tell you how, oh no, you have to realize it! It’s your fault if my utter nonsense makes no sense to you! And you must just have faith that the master has “woken up” because they say so.

Great content, audio quality not so much

Loved the book and it’s content covered. Recommend listening at x1.5 speed. Very slow at normal speed. Audio quality lacking but in the end worth hearing it read by Anthony firsthand then having Seth Rogan voice over

A Searching for improvement miss.

He drones on and on to make his too long book even longer. By repeating information like “lose your desire for approval” doesn’t explain how to do that and leaves the listener wanting. His accent is very distracting. I’m disappointed in this audiobook.

Powerful book

« Awareness «  is a book that at least 3 of my formators in personal development adviced me to read. Very powerful and essential book to read, a must. Simple and complex in the same time, it transmits clear messages.
