HarperOne A Radical Awakening

After I read the book I did recommend it all my friends, it has a completely new poor of view where as a women you understand that you need to discover, accept and love yourself first, there is no excessive need to please your partner, parents, friends, boss, because society has forced us to be in certain way to be accepted and worthy. Pleeease read it!!

Muy buen libro 🙌🏻

I have never highlighted, underlined and noted more pages from a book in my life. This is the book. This is it. years in therapy trying to unpack my childhood, 10yr relationship falling apart, becoming a single mother of 4, I thought I was codependent, maybe narcissistic, controlling and utterly helpless and losing everything I worked so hard for. What this book unpacked in me in a week was more then 6yrs of therapy.If you need an idea of how this book is, look at the podcast, the adult chair (EP 263) with Dr shefali and another podcast "better with Dr Stephanie, w/dr shefali.Love to anyone reading this, you're amazing and you matter so much.

i started to watch videos of Dr. Shefali and really got interested in her ideas of awakening and being authentic. going through a painful divorce, i was told by my therapist to be authentic and focuse on the present. i understand the English but don't really know what to do. this book is revolutional to me. it is great to hear that there is no need to be a good girl or to seek approval, validation or praise from others. it is time to remove my ego, the false image of myself. looking into the inner self is hard as sometimes i even don't know who i really am. but i am glad that i started this journey, the journey to be free. thank you Dr. Shefali!

I have followed Dr. Shefali's work and know she is a change-maker and very effective psychologist with her clients. I'm a 55 year-old "young" nurse practitioner embarking on new adventures into ME and life and relationships and connections. I know the value of what she produces and how living an inauthentic life damages your body, brain, and spirit.I've been waking up since my young years, had sensitivities I didn't understand, and tried to "fit in" to a world that was trying to make me something that was unfamiliar to me. I revolted at every turn to NOT be what the world wanted me to be. My parents were asleep at the wheel, suffering themselves- German Air Force pilot officer perfectionist alcoholic dad and co-dependent pleasing military officer mom. God love them; they were born in a WWII Germany in the early 1940s. I inherited that stuff. We all inherit our ancestors' stuff....and this book shows you how to stop the perpetuation.Shefali opens her world for our understanding. I also fell victim to years of eating disorders, body hate, the virus of perfectionism, crappy relationships, not being able to connect to my materialistic, narcissistic friends and partners, and doing work that was not satisfying because it looked great on my CV. I never fit in. I never took on stereotypical roles. I've never been able to do work, relationships, or anything else in the traditional way because it didn't feel right to me....it wasn't part of my soul path. I think I never became a mom because I felt like I didn't want to pass the crap onto my child or maybe I didn't feel like I deserved to be a mom. I was awake and asleep at the same time.Dr. Shefali elucidates her journey with words that 100% resonated with me. She put into words what I have felt and what I see in so many of my overweight, symptomatic (every symptom in the book) men and women whose unhappiness lives and festers in their body tissues...with the soul screaming for help and for our attention. While you may not be able to relate to every story, you will relate to the themes which will help you be better with your "people." I think if you read this book like a journal, like a workbook, like a guide to keep diving deep and really being honest about what's going on in your world, you will get a boatload of value. I have notes and underlining and crimped pages all over, and maybe some day she will sign it.I don't think everyone is ready to read this. Be prepared to be uncomfortable. Be ready for the process; it's not a one-and-done. Discomfort means you're growing. I pray that something moves you to pick the book up and start some self-discovery. Because you're worth it. Your children are worth it. Your legacy and your world are counting on your awakening.Shefali, I'm one of Vishen's pro members - I hope you read this and know that you are making a difference, like he is. And BTW, you're not SUPPOSED to be reading the reviews, but I hope I get to meet you some day at A-Fest or Mindvalley-U.

Incredible Book for women! Filled with so much wisdom. Let's become our authentic selves! Thanks Shefali! You changed my life in 2015 with "The Conscious Parent!"
