Synopsis

The Book of Waking Up invites you to wake to your coping mechanisms, find the why behind your pain, and walk into the Divine Love of God.The inevitable pain of life gives us many reasons to check out--and many ways to do it. Alcohol, entertainment, pills, shopping, porn, chasing success, cashing checks, and collecting social media "likes"--these and so many other things anesthetize us from the wounds of everyday living. As Seth Haines wrote in his award-winning book, Coming Clean, "We're all drunk on something."In his compelling follow-up, The Book of Waking Up, Seth invites you into the story of healing. He invites you to see your coping mechanisms for what they are--lesser lovers, which cannot bring the peace, freedom, and wholeness you crave. Through guided reflections, sustainable soul practices, and stories from Seth's life and others, The Book of Waking Up points you toward the Divine Love of God that has the power to transform your life.As Seth writes, "Addiction is misplaced adoration." Now, join him on a journey toward the only Love worth adoring, the only Love that cures a soul. Join him on the journey to waking up.

Goodreads review by K.J.

This book heightened all five of my senses, pulling my whole self into what I cannot describe any better than delight and gratitude. See, I write about pain. I write about neuroscience and the way God is inviting us into the paradox of paying attention to the parts of our lives we'd rather escape. B......more

Goodreads review by John

I listened to The Book of Waking Up. First, as an audiobook, it was enjoyable to have Seth read it. I felt like we were sitting in a shop and talking more than just words coming at me. Seth's voice is grainy and comfortable like a fall day with crisp leaves. I didn't know the book was about addictio......more
