An Invitation
Come and explore
There comes a time in every life when one questions one's existence.
- "Am I living to my full potential?"
- "Where is my life going?"
- "How am I stopping myself?"
These are questions one can only answer for oneself.
Rarely do we stop to recognize, moment by moment, the extraordinary experience of being alive.
In this book, you will explore your relationship to experience itself—how you meet each moment, how you participate in life as it unfolds, and how you engage with what is happening in real time.
The Way of Awareness is an invitation to encounter the truth of who you are.
Before we continue...
Pause for just a moment, and ask this question...
What am I aware of right now?
And then complete this sentence a series of times...
Right now I am aware of...
Simply notice whatever is present...

Why I Wrote This Book
For more than forty-five years, I have had the privilege of sitting with people as a psychologist. Again and again I discover something surprising.
Lasting change rarely comes through analysis or explanations.
It comes through awareness.
Not awareness as an idea.
Awareness as a living presence.
That discovery became The Way of Awareness.
Everything that follows is an invitation to discover it for yourself.
"People suffer because they've forgotten who they are."
About the Author
As a psychologist, I have the privilege of sitting with people as they explore the landscape of their human existence.
Over and over, I discover that lasting change is never generated through analysis or better answers. It begins with awareness.
The Way of Awareness grew from that discovery.
My hope is not that you believe what I have written, but that you discover what is true within your own experience.
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
