Rediscovering Life: Awaken to Reality

I liked it.

Absolutely blown away by the wisdom and experiences of this writer. So thought provoking, manages to get to the heart of the matter and releases the understanding with knowledge from within. Brilliant writer indeed.

This is the guidebook a person needs for life. Why? To answer that ask yourself why you’re here reading the reviews of this book. You are thinking to yourself, “Can this book make a difference, a real difference in my life? The answer is an unqualified, and undeniable yes!Why? Because without one ounce of pretension, DeMello, with the precision of a surgeon wielding a scalpel “cuts away” our mistaken programming that leads us into suffering-no matter the type, length, breadth, or width of it. We are the decision makers in our lives. To some that is comforting, but to most, I suspect it is a completely remote idea that may seem to induce anxiety, dread, and panic because we are conditioned and programmed to believe we are not the owners of our minds. If we aren’t, who is? Do you push yourself around? Engage in useless regrets? Blame others for emotional pains? Keep “score”on an imaginary card in your mind which dictates you must act in certain preconceived ways? Even if those actions never worked in the first place?DeMello points out that not only are you the actor/reactor in your mind, but one who decides your quality of living by what you choose to think-and it is a choice. It seems we suffer from our thinking and then suffer from thinking about our thinking until we are caught in a mental prison that we made for ourselves!Consider this book the key to open the prison door of your mind.

Worth the time to read this and consider the ideas from this presentation. The ideas are at times simple, and at others really complicated when attempting to apply them to our own lives-

Anthony De Mello has a way of describing things like no one else. Calls things how he sees it and allows for it to be understood easily. Highly recommend to everyone.

This book is another winner by Anthony DeMello. This man makes spiritual teaching very very simple and inspires one to take the action he suggests. It sure works for me! Live without blaming anyone or anything, need not get upset at what others think or say about me - so called good or bad.Ahhh and the jewel of learning is to remember that anytime,anytime I'am upset there is something wrong with me yes wrong with me. So what needs to be changed is inside me not them or that outside of me.

Wow wow wow very impressed with this book, is not only a book is a precocious gift from GOD!!!!Thank you

No one talks like Anthony. All of his books are greatAttachments seem to rule our lives but it seems there’s another way)

Assolutamente da leggere..

Anthony de Mello is a tell it like it is authentic Spiritual guide. I delightfully keep reading this book to deepen my understanding of the many truths he provides. A simple read, that is deeply felt for those who are on the Spiritual Path and are ready to hear the Truth.

Love it

I surely enjoyed reading it. Hope you get enlightened from the message. Like how simply the message is put forth..

Simply brilliant - easy to read, as it is a transcript of a lecture Tony de Mello gave towards the end of his life, it reads as if you are just listening to him talk.The wisdom is profound. I agree this book is a great companion to his books Awareness & The Way to Love which are my other two fav's of his.This is a short but very sweet book!here are a few little extracts that particularly resonated for me:"It's very hard to define maturity, but I've come up with a fairly workable definition: Maturity is when you no longer blame anyone. You don't blame others, you don't blame yourself. You see what's wrong, and you set about remedying it. That's one pretty good sign of maturity.""Maybe someone did wrong. But look, could you understand them? Because that's what love is all about, see. Love is not blaming others. Love is not judging others. Love is not condemning others. Love is understanding. Can you understand where they came from? Can you understand how there's so little malice there, and so much ignorance? And so much goodwill, and so much helplessness, and so much programming, and so much confusion, and so much fear. Have you ever paused to understand this? Oh, then you'll understand what it means to love."when "you're upset, this isn't coming from the other person, it isn't coming from you; it's coming from your programming. Oh, I see. All of a sudden there's perspective. There's understanding."
