Publisher's summary

Over 80% of our waking time is spent on autopilot.

We all know the feeling of driving a long distance and arriving at our destination with little memory of the journey. That's because when we are doing routine activities our subconscious takes over to save energy. We are on autopilot.

This doesn't just happen when we drive. It happens every day when we are at work, with our loved ones, or simply living our lives. Wake Up! is a series of experiments designed to help you break free from this trap. From climbing a tree to writing a letter, here are a year's worth of balanced, playful experiences that will engage your imagination and stimulate your senses.

By escaping autopilot more often, you will feel tuned in, will tap in to who you really are, and will make every day count.

Excellent Insights

I like the way this book was organized, used real life examples, and was simple in its presentation. You can pick up this book, and apply it today, without having to sift through complicated science. The reader / author spoke clearly, not too fast or too slow, reading with a sense of sincerity and humor that was very pleasant and engaging. I would definitely recommend.

I like this book.

It's a good reminder that GREATLY improving the quality of our lives can be a simple and cost-free endeavor. There are easy to understand and even easier to implement methods given by the author for lifestyle changes that are not in the least intimidating or time consuming. In fact, several result in us gaining more free time.

I highly recommend it.

Enlightening

I actually got a lot out of this. I can’t implement all of the ideas, but I can implement enough of them. I can’t wait to try some of them out to see what happens. I really liked his narration as well. He seems very open and personable.
