Everybody wants to be happy. Unfortunately, relatively few achieve bliss. Eli Jaxon-Bear explores how it is possible to achieve lives filled with gratitude and love. True happiness and meaning are achieved, he asserts, when we wake up, stop our minds, and open our hearts. It is then that we discover our true selves; our core identity that is part of the ultimate living intelligence of the universe; our true source.

Like Gangaji, Jaxon-Bear uses a method of self-investigation called "self-inquiry." In the light of direct self-inquiry, limitations that once seemed to define ourselves are discovered to be more like transparent lines drawn on water. They exist only on the surface of consciousness in one's imagination. When these illusions of mind are clearly exposed, true limitless being reveals itself.

This is a book that will appeal to those who are fans of Gangaji, Byron Katie, and Eckart Tolle. It is an articulate and helpful expression of a path to fulfillment for those wrestling with questions of identity and meaning.

Industry Reviews
"Sudden Awakening carries the message so heartfully, it deeply touched me." --Barbara Marx Hubbard-- "Reviews"
"Sudden Awakening is the real thing. It is not only a description of the moment of true spiritual awakening but is also an aid in the invariable obstacles barring that moment. This is not only a spot on study of the process leading to realization; it is a ringing manifesto of liberation. It is highly personal but also universal. I found it almost impossible to put down. I call it the real thing because there isn't even a moment of dogma or bias. Sudden Awakening went straight to my heart." --Dr. Murray Korngold, founder, Los Angeles Society of Clinical Psychologists-- "Reviews"
"Eli Jaxon-Bear is a crucial messenger in our time....The integrity of his search, the living power of his realization, the courage of his life all merge seamlessly.... The holy transmission of his teacher lives in him and seeks your heart." --Rabbi Marc Gafni, author of Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment-- "Reviews"
"Eli's beautiful book evokes the timeless truth freshly and profoundly, calling a thrilling response from what is deepest and most authentic in the reader." --Gangaji-- "Reviews"
"This is a book for awakening...for all of us to meet our true self. The first part of the book is like the finger pointing to the moon. The second is the light of the moon itself." --Nancy Baker, dharma successor of Roshi Bernie Glassman and professor of philosophy at Sara Lawrence College-- "Reviews"
