Awakening

Are you sleepwalking through life? New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra offers an accessible, powerful guide to personal transformation so you can unlock the power of awakened consciousness and grasp your limitless potential.

“Awakening is powerful, practical, and life-changing—it shows us how to move beyond fear and step into freedom, purpose, and possibility.”—Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the On Purpose podcast

In this groundbreaking guide to spiritual and personal wellness, Deepak Chopra unveils profound discoveries on how we can connect with our true self and construct a life free from fear. Building on decades of spiritual teachings, Chopra illustrates through enlightening sutras how to move from a state of simply surviving to leading an awakened life that unlocks the dormant potential within each of us. He also offers a Wellbeing Index by which we can track our progress on this journey towards awakening, helping increase intuition, access to insight, and a growing sense of ourselves as constantly changing beings which are part of a larger whole.

Awakening offers the power to free you from the limitations of ego into a life marked by inner and outer peace, purpose, and boundless possibility. Featuring mental exercises, meditations, and personal stories from his own spiritual journey, Chopra shakes us from the nightmare of a limited self, where worry and anxiety reign. 

Chopra's Awakening not only invites you to embrace a new way of being—conscious reality—where miracles are everyday occurrences, but also offers visionary guidance to access the boundless potential of your soul, realized here and now. Ultimately, through the practices in Awakening, Chopra aims to propel all humanity toward an epoch of unprecedented transformation.
