A RADICAL AWAKENING Paperback – 18 May 2021

This Book is a must read for all TRUE awakening by reading

Like always I happened to read this book exactly when I was on my way to hit rock bottom in my personal space and relationships... As I started reading Radical Awakening.. Every page had some important message for me..It started to bring me back to life .. my Consciousness and Awareness increased and I started to realise and understand how I had completely stopped loving myself and was looking for something in others and outside of Me...I understood why My relationship with my parents was the way it was and I stopped blaming myself for the whole downfall..I m back as a Whole person and I m sure I ll hopefully be Complete and aware and Conscious from Now On..Thank You Shefali..I hv read all your books and heard all your talks and Podcasts on YouTube...I wish I can make a difference to someone like You hv made for me.

I just received this book and already read through a lot of chapters. Its so inspiring, some of the statements made in it, transform you simply by coming into your awareness. It has such a simple yet impactful tone. A lot has been covered in this, it's quite extensive, definitely worth the price.The divine feminine energy has received the comeback it has been waiting for centuries.This book not only inspires but truly transforms and is a must-read by both men and women.I highly recommend it and also suggest you catch up on her online interviews on YouTube which encouraged me to buy the book in the first place.Shefali, your message is strong, genuine and much needed at this time. 👏

Whatever Dr Shefali Tsabary says and writes compleyely resonate with my thoughts and philosophy. I can torally relate to it. I may jokingly say I found my alter ego in her through her books and Talks! Radical Awakening is anorher addition to that. It is one of those very few books which will compell you to look within yourself, at life and the world from a different perspective commonly not talked about or taught. Please go ahead, read it and be ready to challenge yourself to unlearn a lot of things you lived hy in blind belief.

A radical awakening is the most sincere title given by the author shefali. Through the beauty of her own experience and truth, she writes this book with deep hopes that we as women must stop looking at each other as enemies and begin to come together forever. Patriarchy, old belief systems, mental biases and strong holds, psychological and spirituality insights cover the book through and through. I loved the author's rate of conviction and love bestowed through her memorable words. If there was ever a book mentioning women and their history on earth- I would recommend this book.

This book has actually awakened me in ways nothing else could at a very crucial stage of my life. I hope all women read this book and get awakened so that we can break the shackles of patriarchy and live as who we truly are, not bothered by culture and others. We have so much work to do to be truly ourselves and to live a life of purpose and meaning and this book will tell you exactly how. Thank you Dr Shefali for this gift. I will be forever grateful to you. I owe you my awakening.

One of the best book

I cannot tell you enough what a pleasure it has been to read this book the Radical Awkening.Its made me experience so many emotions from shock,disbelief, comfort and knowing that most of us have experienced such feelings at some points in life.How I am learning about exploring and then accepting myself gives me so much of comfort and joy.I cannot tell you how comfortable I am becoming exposing my vulnerable self to the world.what an enriching experience

Dr Shafali is an incredible psychiatrist who helps in multiple facets, her previous books in child rearing is invaluable as is this book to help heal oneself and forces you to take an honest look at oneself so you can move through the issues with no guilt or remorse.

Dr. Shefali drops wisdom with an unmatched combination of playful wit and depth of insight. The way she brings truth alive on the page and in her speaking engagements is like a series of spiritual orgasms that bring clarity, levity and deeper connection to life. I have been on an intentional healing journey after realizing that I had been living in misery without seeing another way, hurting others and myself all the while, and Dr. Shefali's wisdom teachings have catalyzed by healing work with a rich consilience and harmony. Check out Dr. Shefali's Viral Wisdom contributions on YouTube and her online courses. She guides you to go deeper while living more lightly.A few quotes to get you in the mood for A Radical Awakening:"We believe we are the persona we adopted in order to cope with our childhood. Rather than contouring ourselves to the newness of each moment, the moment is reinterpreted to match the old template. We no longer live in a spontaneous way, authentically responding to the moment-by-moment experiences of life. Instead, we are highly charged and reactive, swinging like a wild pendulum according to the triggers coming from the outside. It isn’t easy to see our reactivity to a difficult situation as a repetition from our past. So fused are we with our pattern that we cannot fathom how these patterns are ingrained default systems that we are injecting into the present moment. It all feels so real. Once we discover that we are repeating an emotional pattern, we can start the process of dismantling these deeply ingrained ways." (p. 56)"Each time our truth gets buried, we engage in an act of betrayal toward ourselves. With every ensuing burial comes a greater and greater distrust and disconnection from ourselves. Our authentic self realizes that it doesn’t have a comrade in us. We don’t have our own back. We then experience a great darkness of the soul, which in modern verbiage is labeled depression. At the soul level, depression is a deep self-abandonment." (pp. 48-49)"I want to take you beyond the surface disruptions of your life to a deeper layer, where the patterns that drive us are always clear. The process of entering this deeper layer is like removing cobwebs from our eyes. The reason most of us don’t notice our patterns is that we have been hungry for two foods, love and worth. So hungry have we been that we are in a hallucinatory stupor. Attention, acceptance, and validation are the prizes we obsess over, rabidly hunting them at all costs. ...These patterns are a way of answering these questions: Am I loved? Am I seen? Am I worthy? Instead of discovering how to give these things to ourselves, we sought them from the external world, mainly our parents. Children everywhere are raised to seek approval and validation from their elders. Our parents are at the top of the hierarchy, of course, followed by our family’s elders, and then by teachers. This sets us up to depend on them. In our desire to obtain the love and worth we feel we need from them, we readily abandon ourselves and fall in line." (p. 53-54)"The ego is a vital and necessary ally—I liken it to the shell of an egg, which protects the chick before and during its hatching. If the eggshell stays intact, it will eventually kill the chick it was designed to protect. The goal of spiritual growth is never to annihilate the ego or begrudge its role. The goal is only to understand it and, through this, outgrow the need for it." (p. 59)

Dr. Shefali has done an excellent job presenting the various ways in which society and religion can keep women in chains, while also offering insights on reclaiming our power back.This is a must-read for daughters, mothers, and grandmothers alike. Let's cease the cycle of educating females to live solely to please and serve others, and instead, empower them to learn to love and accept themselves as they are.

I started this book with ego fully present saying: “I wonder if there will be anything new here” as i have been doing some work and have been into therapy. My ego had been blown to smithereens and I am only halfway.I picked up bits and pieces of her beautiful teachings along the way in life but Dr Shefali wrapped it into a full picture that called be out in a painfully beautiful way.I have my ways to go.But this book makes me excited for what is to come.
