It is a thought provoking, life changing workbook that does not show up like homework but like creating your dreams and stretching your imagination beyond your grown up dogmatic adult self!

This book is not only transformational for the soul but beautiful to the sight. The breathtaking photos add to an already amazing publication.

Falling Awake: Creating the Life of Your Dreams

Falling Awake by Dave Ellis, has been the turning point in my life and only in three months. It rivals Simple Abundance;A Daybook of Comfort & Joy, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff( & all of Richard Carlson's great sequels), Kitchen Table Wisdom and The Roadless Traveled (all of which I loved.) The difference is that Falling Awake is a valuable resource book full of tools that are broken down into 12 major success strategies that can be used interchangeably with relationships, families, finances or careers. These strategies are presented as tools that will pull you into the future you desire. You begin planning with a mind that has been fine tuned with your own self-determined wants based on what you have personally determined to be what you value through exercises early on in the book.These success strategies are first explained with great clarity as to how they can change how you live your life. Each chapter is interspersed at appropriate breaks with guided invitations to journal or interact with exercises that are designed to integrate the content of Falling Awake with your own spirit.What I loved most about Falling Awake over other self-enrichment content is Ellis' contention that you already "have it all" and with simply applying the 12 strategies you will finally wake up to in every action and moment of your day.I have realized great success in the relationships, personal fulfillment and professional endeavors that I was either already in the middle of or have since created in the short three months since reading and living the strategies.Falling Awake has been useful since as a resource book to facilitate habits of thought and action in whatever way you decide to reenact the strategies, while other self-enrichment concepts loose their luster after the newness fades.
