“Wisdom from one of the greatest spiritual masters of our time.”—James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness. Mixing Christian spirituality, Buddhist parables, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insight, de Mello's words of hope come together in Awareness in a grand synthesis.

In short chapters for reading in quiet moments at home or at the office, he cajoles and challenges: We must leave this go-go-go world of illusion and become aware. And this only happens, he insists, by becoming alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace.

Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Using humor, compassion, and insight, the beloved and best-selling Anthony de Mello teaches us to welcome the challenge of knowing ourselves and living the "aware" life.

From the Author

You possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled.  Happiness naturally awakens in you through a simple process of awareness. You see life differently because you are different.  You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive. When you finally awake, you don't try to make good things happen; they just happen. You understand suddenly that everything that happens to you is good, and that all is well, even at times when things are a mess. Anthony De Mello

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

ANTHONY DE MELLO was a Jesuit priest born in Bombay, India in 1931. He is widely known for his ground-breaking and enduring work that integrates western and eastern spirituality. De Mello is the author of the bestselling masterpiece, Awareness, along with 11 other books that have been translated into 21 languages and have sold more than 2 million worldwide.

De Mello’s most recent book, Stop Fixing Yourself / Wake Up! All is Well centers on his core assertion that you and I are OK exactly as we are. We are not a problem to be solved, nor is there anything we need to fix in ourselves. It is enough for us to simply be watchful and awake. By simply being aware, all that seems false and neurotic in us will drop, and our eyes will open to the reality of joy surrounding us.

His body of work continues to have impact beyond his untimely death in 1987, influencing acclaimed spiritual teachers such as Rhonda Byrne, Eckhart Tolle, Neil Strauss, Adyashanti, Thomas Moore, and Paulo Coelho.

5 out of 5 stars
This is the best book I’ve ever read..!!
I read several books a week. This one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s tight in your face with truths about your existence.Please do not read this book if your sure you know it all, are sure your religion is the only path to heaven and / or believe the news is factual. No, this book doesn’t condemn religion nor the media. It will rock you in ways you’ve never even dreamt of. It may just get you to see when you open your eyes and become the Eagle that you’ve always been.Or you can be the Eagle raised with chickens that knows he’s a chicken and dies a chicken.This book will help you you understand waking up, the risks and benefits in being awake. And it is so worth the journey. 👍🏻

I am the kind of reader who evaluates the quality and impact of a book on my heart and soul in life by the number of highlights. I am an avid highlighter. This book is one of the more highlighted books I have ever read (and I read a lot).

It’s one thing to sit and read and resonate with the words on a page. It’s another thing to have those words move through your heart with surgical precision to help you unpack what is preventing you from truly living. This book provides wisdom which, if considered and applied, Will resurrect in you the remembrance of what living as a human is meant to be. For me it has Of how truly simple life can be… How happy life can be… Simply with awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Saved Me.....
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2011

I thank God for this book. It changed my life. At 21 years of age I was so lost in the world and confused. It brought everything together into an integrated whole, a "oneness". It told me things I already knew to be true but had forgotten. It challenged me, and yet at the same time encouraged and helped me. I feel very deeply thankful for Anthony de Mello and his writings. I feel very connected to him, like he is here helping me in life. His writing is so honest and true that every word and every sentence is full of purpose and meaning. It speaks about even silence has great purpose and meaning. I remember reading it for the first time and not being able to put the book down. I had an inner smile and a hunger for this kind of refreshing insight into life. It speaks directly to your heart, bypassing your mind. It speaks with living words, not just pointing a direction but taking you down that road, almost carrying you. I must have read it 3 times to begin with and then only pulling it out when I needed some encouragement and to remember how to live. I reached a point where as it said at the end of the book that you will come to a point where you don't need it anymore, and I felt I didn't. I have lost my way many times since, but I can keep coming back because it planted and nourished a seed of awareness within me. I started listening to Allan Watts and Eckhart Tolle after words. I appreciate all of their teachings, but there is something about this book that is like my first true love in life, that it will always be special to me, innocent. I have matured much since my first true love but I will always remember and be thankful for that experience. I am currently ordering this book for a friend who I think will find a treasure trove in "Awareness" here.

Whatever you are doing in life, do it well. If you are sweeping the street, be the best street sweeper in the world. If you are walking down the hall of your house walk it as the best hall walker in the world, when you breath, breath as the best breather in the world. Stay connected to your source.

(recent Julia Roberts movie) - "Smile with your mouth, smile with your whole body, even smile with your liver."

Love your self first. Then when Love given to you by the Universe overflows your cup, let it flow out to others and it will be unconditional as you are not in "need" of anything at all. It's when we give all that we have to others first that we become depleted and unfulfilled, and thus have to be conditional with our giving as we try to allocate our limited energies and Love to give to those around us, as we are in a state of "need" ourselves. Love yourself and let yourself become filled with Love first, only then can the Love that flows from you be with out selfish need, unconditional and true.

This book invited me to reconsider my perception of my problems, fears, and struggles in life. Sometimes it’s easy to get stuck in a programmatic way of processing yourself or the world, and I found that this book reminded me to keep a fresh perspective on all things, and to look for the goodness (or, allow goodness in life without seeking it). Some of the suggestions or concepts may feel extreme, or maybe difficult to accept, but it’s all very interesting and worth a read.

A book which tackles the most challenging questions where psychology and even religion have failed. Practical guide to understanding the nature of reality and dealing with the emptiness and numbness of life, a practical step-by-step guide to unlocking a way of life, which is more practical and real kind and loving to both yourself and others, without needing to resort to any abstractions or conceptualizations, this book is a masterpiece of how to live in the world and succeed and win at life.

A book about love. It's difficult to rate a book like this, I've read and listened to the audiobook more than 10 times. The material, stories, within this book have had a profound effect on my life. The seminars/ lectures that are transcribed in this book have opened my eyes and mind to a whole new way of thinking and perceiving the reality around me. I'm grateful for the person whom the universe brought into my life who introduced me to this book and Anthony deMello, he's truly an impactful figure in my life. I highly recommend reading this book at least once, but if you have the option, please listen to the audiobook as it is actually Anthony speaking. For anyone strapped for cash, simply search for the author in YouTube and watch his lectures, you can find forgiveness in your heart for yourself and everyone around you, a powerful skill to learn.
