After reading How to Wake Up by award winning author and teacher, Toni Bernhard, I felt as if I had just returned from a very special mindfulness retreat, where I was nourished by Toni's words of wisdom and the ancient writings and teachings of the Buddha. I especially appreciated the way in which Toni presented the Buddhist concepts with such clarity and warmth, followed by a personal story of how she applied the teachings to her own life , as well as her gentle encouragement for readers to try the exercises and practices, which she presented so well.
How to Wake Up supported me to look deeply into my own life and to more fully embrace daily living with its many joys, along with its deep sorrows and losses. It was also extremely helpful to learn the process of how to be more awake and aware of my mental states and stresses: by recognizing them, labeling them, investigating them, and allowing them to be just as they are, without judgment or aversion.
How to Wake Up gave me the feeling of being held in the arms of a true Bodhisattva. As I read Toni's teachings on compassion, lovingkindness, joyful acceptance and equanimity, I was deeply touched by her ability to embody and convey these sublime states throughout her entire book. As Toni skillfully taught and wove the Buddhist concepts into each chapter, she also gave me a felt sense and clearer understanding of the teachings, which in turn guided me on the path of finding a greater sense of inner peace and well-being.
In closing, I want to express my deep gratitude to Toni Bernhard for writing How to Wake Up. This book is a true gift to humanity and is a very compassionate resource about impermanence and change. If you are open to looking at new ways to alleviate all types of suffering and finding more joy and contentment in your life, regardless of your circumstances, you will certainly want to buy How to Wake Up and read it over and over again.
