From the bestselling author of Awareness and The Way to Love comes a classic reissue of lessons to inspire readers every day of the year.

Since his death in 1987, widespread recognition of his work's enduring value has continued to grow. In Awakening, de Mello explores “the wisdom that cannot be conveyed in human speech.” Through 365 meditations, blending the mystical traditions of both East and West, he creates the lessons of a profound “master” to his “pupil,” illustrating our common need for harmony and enlightenment.
