Awakening

Awakening opens with a turning point in Dr. Warter's own life. As a young resident physician in Boston, he spent an evening with a celebrated senior professor, admired by everyone and quietly broken by the life his career had cost him. Lying awake in the man's mansion that snowy night, he decided to leave the race for academic prestige and devote everything he knew and everything he had to awakening an integral human consciousness.

From that beginning the book becomes a guide to waking up in everyday life: being honest with ourselves, freeing ourselves from what is superfluous, and letting love, service and gratitude lead. It was first published in Spanish as Despertar by Emecé Editores in Buenos Aires in 1987 and reprinted several times.

An English edition is being prepared for re-release, with an audiobook in English and Spanish.
