Awake, Arise, Or Be Forever Fallen!

A moving account of the trials and tribulations of a young anorexic male in his journey from self-destruction to self-actualization. Raw and inspiring.

This book carries a message of hope for all: that a better life is possible, regardless of your situation, and that you already have everything you need to live it. It’s all there in your mind. With this book, the author seeks to inspire readers to be themselves, take control of their lives, and live a purposeful existence, instead of living at the mercy of other people's wishes. However, none of that can ever be achieved until we learn to see our real self, and ultimately accept ourselves as we really are, and not as others expect us to be.

After twenty long years of keeping it secret, the author reveals his painful personal experience as a young anorexic male in the hope that this will help readers avoid falling into a trap created by their own mind. He also shows us that, even in our darkest moments, there shines an inner light that can guide us to happiness. That light within is called life, and it's the only light that can guide us to happiness. But it's a light that can only shine in the present, and this book is a challenge to live fully that ephemeral moment we call "now" in which your entire life takes place.

The decision is in your hands. Follow the illuminated path laid out in this book, and start living the life you desire and deserve. The magic is in you: just open your heart and you’ll see it.

Spanish artist and designer Alicia Varela has beautifully illustrated this book. Her artwork - both nuanced and compelling - conveys perfectly the deep meaning of the book.
