The Book of Waking Up: Experiencing the Divine Love That Reorders a Life by Seth Haines
3.0
I listened to the audio and it was interesting. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but I still enjoyed it.
A quote from the book: "Consider that coping mechanism you just can’t shake. Consider that song that burrows into your subconscious like an earworm: This is the fix; this is the fix; this is the fix. In the quietness of this space, pen in hand, examine your life. The fix—what pain is it trying to address? Consider, for example, the substitutionary fix I can’t seem to shake—buying books. Why do I keep buying and buying and buying? If I find the right book, I’ll have access to the right knowledge. If I acquire the right knowledge, perhaps then I’ll have enough, know enough, be enough. If I have enough, know enough, am enough, perhaps then I’ll be able to silence scarcity narratives. Now it’s your turn. What pain narratives are you trying to silence with your coping mechanisms?"
