Stop Sleep Walking Through Life
What happens when your ‘big dreams’ get fulfilled? Do you attain an enduring state of fulfilment? Are you then able to live happily ever after? Or, is there something vital missing that you need to address now?
“When I pose these questions to the students at IIT, they feel uncomfortable,” says Dr. Menon. “The majority are too heavily programmed,” he adds. "There appears to be too much at stake in the ‘rat race’ of life and it takes considerable courage, even just to pause and reflect, especially when one has traveled far and got ahead in the race. There is little in their education to persuade them to think otherwise.”
“Is this the best our education can offer today?” asks Dr. Menon. “Are we not completely evading certain key issues in life? Are we not leaving the young generations ‘magnificently unprepared, for the long littleness of life’?”
Drawing inspiration from various spiritual traditions, Dr. Menon guides the reader through nine graded chapters to the full meaning of ‘awareness’. He establishes that awakening and continual awareness of one’s ego-self not only bring freedom from mind-made suffering, but also enhance the quality of one’s work and one’s life.

As the name of the book suggests, this book enlightens us by making us aware of our sleepwalk through life. We are living and craving for thousands of things. We are actually running behind the things which are not our actual goal of life nor are these things going to give us long-term happiness. We most of the time are unaware of what we are going through.
So this book informs us about all those aspects of life which we are going through and still are unaware of those. This wakes up from our that sleep which we are even unaware of.
A great and must read book.

Just as the book's title suggests, the book made me to stop a little while from sleep Walking in life. The Author with his simple style of writing made it very clear we are all dancing puppets of our ego-self and to end the sufferings we must realize the truth by gaining inner awareness. A good Book and a must read for all....
