Publisher's Summary:
Awakened Living is a practical, simple, yet highly effective tool for positive change and spiritual growth. The guide consists of 16 chapters that cover topics like meditation, forgiveness, changing thinking patterns, using affirmations, the power of appreciation, prayer, and positive thought as well as productive positive action and much more.
Will you live the rest of your waking moments asleep or awake? Consider this: This simple guide invites one into the world of awakened living. Awakened living is a change in outlook, out from one's mind, heart, and soul. It includes a change in thinking, understandings, emotion, physiology, social connections, reactions to life, and desires - all adding to the growth of one's overall well-being. It's a transforming way of seeing the world through the eyes of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation; an awareness of the connectedness of all things; and a deep knowing of one's own part in this magical dance of the universe. To be awake is to see life for what it is and for what you are: complete, whole, full of joy, and full of unlimited possibilities. Take this journey, the lifetime journey of awakening: a journey with no definite destination yet full of immense meaning and purpose. These simple methods outline the basics of the practical spiritual life. It's but a beginning. Yet if applied, it's guaranteed to change your life from the inside out.

Back to the Basics for a Joy-Filled Life
As a new year approaches, I'd like to suggest Awakened Living, A Practical Guide to the Spiritual Life to help you take steps toward a life filled with more peace and joy.
The author agrees with many other philosophers that "the world is what you think it is," so his first recommended practice is to take responsibility for your life and recognize the true cause of your experiences. Kyle offers 15 additional practices, then finishes with 365 short readings for morning meditation or daily contemplation.
For positive change in your life, Kyle recommends a simple reliance on the "Highest Intelligence and Power governing all," and recommends building a relationship with this higher power, without pushing specific religious beliefs. He recommends thinking about God, then talking to God, until the prayer experience moves from your head to your heart.
Kyle also recommends meditation, saying that with this practice alone, done consistently, "you can achieve most anything." He offers pointers for meditating and a Guided Meditation you can read or record and listen to. Practicing his daily meditations will bring you into the present and help you "let go and let God."
He also makes a case for using positive affirmations, giving of yourself selflessly, surrounding yourself with good, and being humble, forgiving and flexible. As Kyle says, anyone with a bit of willingness for a positive change, along with an open mind, can grow and learn much from the age-old, and new, practices he shares in this book.

Nice starting point for spiritual seekers
This book is authentically written and the author's passion for the subject matter is very apparent. Based on my experience in reading books in this category, this title would provide a nice starting point for anyone who is in the early stages of exploring the topic of spirituality (as opposed to religion).
