Summary of A Radical Awakening

"A Radical Awakening" by Mark J. Petrocelli is a book about the life-changing journey of self-discovery that one can embark upon when faced with harsh life events. Petrocelli’s journey of self-awareness began when his brother died of leukemia, when he was faced with a terminal diagnosis of his own, and when he was forced to confront the failures of his former career. Through a process of creating and implementing practices in mindfulness, meditation, and other forms of self-healing, Petrocelli discovers a profound change in his own outlook on life and our collective responsibility to ourselves and to society. This book covers themes of confronting difficult emotions, shifting personal perspective, developing emotional stability, and creating relationships with yourself, the world, and the divine. The reader is invited to go on their own spiritual journey using Petrocelli’s own process of transformation as a guide. Petrocelli’s story is an encouragement to take a deep dive of self-exploration and create a life-changing awakening.
