Wake Up!

The thing that gives this book the edge is the format and colourful layout. The strategies are not new but the author attempts to put them in a more playful context. It is a good coffee table or waiting room book - good for randomly dipping into. I was hoping for it to be a little more wacky and off the wall with a few really crazy and silly things. However it has prompted me to think of some funny and playful strategies of my own. Overall a great fun read. Thank You

All about embracing living in the now, this book presents fifty four ways to help you achieve just that.

The book talks of doing the normal day to day life stuff without you realizing, stuck doing bthe same everyday without a break or difference you soon become tuned to autopilot mode.

We lose awareness of who we are and the importance of what we love becomes hindered and buried under life admin, we need to learn and asses our growth with creativity and once we find our positive mindset and relax, we can allow change and growth to happen to us.

There's also creative pages to draw and scribble on as well as we are encouraged to take it around with us to reconnect with life at times when we either feel pressured or alone etc.

More points made in the book are about the topics of;
Spontaneity, rest and exercise, draw and plan, make time for family and friends as well as enjoy every moment!

This book is a great little creative book and is reminiscent of a more adult focused Wreck This Journal.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review it!

Wake Up! is a series of playful human experiments which are designed to help us escape our auto pilot (subconscious state) and live in a state that is more open, conscious and where you are fully awake and in the now moment. (current). It helps you to lead a connected and extraordinary life. The book also doubles up as an exercise book where you can jot down your notes as you progress through the book and also do some or many of the activities listed in the book. A quick and breezy self improvement read that helps you to build more positive and fun thoughts and live in the wakey, wakey moment instead of being in the auto pilot state (subconscious and negative from the perspective of being in the now). The author focuses on how people could become more conscious as a leader and how to make organizations more innovative. I have observed that it is difficult to stay in the now moment and you have a tendency to slip into auto pilot mode and doing the experiments indicated in the book helps you to stay out of auto pilot and you can hope to do better in the now moment...

Thank you @Netgalley for this book. I selected this book because of it's title as I was really looking for tricks/tips on how to get away from 'Autopilot' mode. This book is perfect, there is lots of fun activities (needless to say i have made a list of ideas which i want to follow). My favorite tip is - 'Climbing a Tree' something i haven't done in a very long time.....

Great book, and must read for all who wants, and are looking for ways to improve their lives.

Before I even discuss the content of this book, I have to acknowledge how well this book is put together. It's interior pages are not the common boring looking ebooks I have seen in the past. The author inspires you with each and every turn of the page to Wake Up and notice your life that is passing you by every moment of everyday. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to Wake Up and start living life as it was meant to be.
