ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
"This is your wake-up call! You may not have even realized you were sleepwalking. Most of us are most of the time. Awareness is an eye-opener. It's Anthony de Mello telling you gently but firmly, "It's time to get up now".--Charles Osgood of The Osgood File.
USER REVIEWS
"AWARENESS was a very thought provoking piece of literature.
It is beneficial toward promoting expansion beyond limited
concepts of belief and behaviour. One is drawn into the
difference between Authority as experience and consciousness
and authoritative as those who tell us what to think rather than
how to think. The book was in excellent condition.

"This is not for those content with their status quo! Father de Mello leaves no stone unturned to ruffle feathers about our "reality existence." But, if you are a true seeker, there is no better book than his to contemplate.Love and Immortality: Long Journey of My Heart"

"I'm a big fan of Eckhart Tolle and became aware of "Awareness" by word of mouth from other Tolle fans. I couldn't put the book down; read it in one sitting. As I was reading, I tripped out that the author was actually a priest! His style of writing is straight to the point, "in your face." Picture a highly energetic motivational speaker who genuinely wants you to change for the better; well that's what I pictured. He speaks the truth bluntly. It'll open your eyes, make you see things from a totally new angle.
Although I love Tolle's "The Power of Now," for someone who's new to this, I would recommend reading "Awareness" first because it's much easier to understand. I had to read Tolle's books a few times before I really had an understanding. And if you're already familiar and enjoyed Tolle's works, you will surely enjoy this. "Awareness" covers a lot of material that Tolle goes over: disidentifying with thoughts, labeling, presence (not covered in depth like Tolle though), and more. But Anthony covers the material in a different, more down-to-earth type style. If you had trouble understanding Tolle, "Awareness" could probably help you have a better understanding.
You can easily find live recordings online of Anthony speaking to an audience. He's not highly energetic as I had in mind, but he doesn't need to be. There's surely some magical quality when Anthony speaks. If you check out the audience, you'll notice that they are all giving Anthony their full undivided attention. They're transfixed, hanging on his every word. "Awareness" is actually a transcription of his live talks. Just like how the audience is transfixed seeing Anthony live, you too will be transfixed reading the words just like how I was. Amazing read!

"Awareness was recommended by a friend who has bought more than 10 books to give away to friends. It is a great way to understand how your mind can torment you and keep you in addictions of all kinds. A good book to reread often to help move forward in emotional wellbeing."

"I loved this book and it has a lot of helpful advice for anyone who is struggling to be happy. It has helped at least two of my friends and myself to focus on what DeMello calls being "aware" or understanding why things make you happy or unhappy and how to overcome the unhappy times.
It has some excellent opinions about love as letting the object be free, rather than what many call love which is really manipulation, control, and covetness. "
