Product Description
Radical Happiness: A Guide to Awakening is for spiritual seekers who are ready to be finders and anyone asking the question, Who am I really? It tells the story of the spiritual journey from separation to Oneness that each of us is destined to make. It is our destiny to awaken--to wake up from the illusion of being a separate individual and rediscover the truth: There is only one Being, and that Being is you!The truth about who you are How to be happy The cause of suffering How to change your consciousness The meaning of awakening/self-realization Where desires, drives, and emotions come from The purpose of free will and how free it is Radical Happiness demystifies the mystical as it reveals the age-old secret to being happy. It provides the keys to experiencing the happiness that is ever-present and not dependent on circumstances. This happiness does not come from getting what we want but from wanting what already is. It comes from realizing that who we think we are is not who we really are. Simple exercises throughout the book aid this discovery.
Radical Happiness provides answers to many deep questions, including:

Happiness comes when we no longer pay attention to the mind and its endless chatter. This book powerfully exposes the mind and its tricks in a way which won't make you feel bad. Gina Lake states that the mind was meant to have its hold over us but now is the time for the suffering to end. This book also doesn't expect you to automatically awaken, but it contains effective and simple exercises to free the reader from the tyranny of the mind. I don't think this review can do this amazing book justice, as 'Radical Happiness' is special beyond words. I feel blessed to have read it and I hope you do too.

A Sacred Guidebook
10 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
Let us suppose that you have been a spiritual seeker for many, many years and then you are suddenly being pulled into Awakening. You begin to understand what the Bhagavad Gita and other sacred texts are talking about when they speak of the Self. This understanding is not at the level of the intellect, but at the core of your being. a direct and tangible experience. Let us suppose further that as this process begins to unfold, you begin seeking practical advice and knowledge for this spiritual re-birth that is happening through you because you have no grounding in how to embody and stabilize this realization and you need to learn how to deal with the intense energy that is amping up your nervous system and making your life a little different than usual.
This book is like the scene in the movie where the hero, after an exhausting, arduous journey is searching for the sacred, secret text that is the master key to his/her further unfoldment. Finally, late at night in an ancient library, the hero stumbles upon this book and everything he/she is going through suddenly makes sense, like the proverbial piece that completes the puzzle and after which everything becomes clear and nothing is ever the same again. All of the searching is completed and there is just the continued deepening in the Self.
This is an incredible book. I have been reading spiritual literature for 30+ years and this came for me at the exact right time. It is essential reading and practice for anyone in the midst of Self-realization. The book provides expert guidance and practices. It explains the process of Awakening and provides the means to help you ground and stabilize your connection with the Self.
The author clearly writes from the perspective of an enlightened being; indeed she is a master teacher and guide. I was prompted to do a counseling session with her after reading another of her books and found it, along with this book, to be among the most beneficial things I have ever done.
This book is indispensable.

6 July 2006

Here is a work of true genius and heart that could possibly shift your entire perspective and approach to everyday life. My heart is pumping from joy as I write this review because Gina has shown me in a simple and effective manner how to access the True and Indestructable Happiness that exists for each of us right here in this moment. Have you trusted the guidance of your mind to lead you to a happier state? Has it ever succeeded in bringing you a lasting and fullfilling joy? For me the answer is, Absolutely Never! Gina shows you through many practical and observational meditations, how to shift Awareness from the confines of the mind to the spaciousness of our hearts, helping us move away from the ego's image of self to the True Self.

A radical awakening...
24 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
In "Radical Happiness," Gina Lake reminds us that happiness is basically an inside job. By blending western psychology with the wisdom of eastern non-dualism, the Author points to the reality that all of "IT" is arising from the very same source. Although this book is relatively short, Gina still doesn't hesitate in tackling many of the great questions of life: "Who are you? What's the cause of suffering? What does it really mean to wake up?" Throughout the book, Gina presents the readers with practical exercises to expand their awareness and appreciation of who (and what) they really are...deep down. "Radical Happiness" is a thoroughly enjoyable read and one that I am most happy to recommend.
