“This book offers a fresh and much more hopeful perspective on the seemingly elusive goal of finding happiness. In Awake, Elizabeth Walling shares both personal stories and practical advice to help readers live fulfilling and meaningful lives rather than just going through the motions. The ideas offered in this book are an encouraging wake-up call that has inspired me to look at my life and the choices that I make in a new way. I loved this book, and it’s one I will be returning to again and again!”

"Elizabeth, I read your book completely from cover to cover.  I really enjoyed it.  It touched upon things I already know, but don't always remember to practice, and it gave me some great ideas about achieving a 'happier' life.  In the beginning of the book, you listed things that truly bring long lasting happiness, and were spot on what is truly important and makes the soul and not just the monetary things that bring us happiness.  I applaud you for doing something that brings you happiness by writing your book, but in addition to helping others find their happiness too.  It is a selfless act on your part to share your thoughts with others.  Thank you for sharing your book with me.  I appreciate it (= HAPPY!)."

"When was the last time you examined your life in order to pinpoint what truly makes you happy? Chances are you’re chasing someone else’s big (unattainable) dream or none at all. Awake invites you to wake up, turn off autopilot and start your journey toward authentic happiness by getting to know yourself instead of blindly following the programming you were taught growing up. This book is short, to the point, and full of relatable anecdotes and simple tips like 'happiness hacks' that you can use right away. I’d recommend this to anyone who needs a gentle nudge and dose of inspiration to change their lives for the better starting today."

"Awake is a quick read full of pragmatic insights for rediscovering our authentic selves and, ultimately, for helping us to redefine the meaning of happiness...on our own unique terms. Through her own personal accounts, Elizabeth astutely reminds us to stop living our lives on 'autopilot,' to increase our number of 'pauses' throughout the day, and to committing to finding our own voice. This book will no doubt be one I will revisit from time to time when I am in need of a quick dose of wisdom and perspective. Thank you, Elizabeth, for writing this personal and heart-inspired book and for making it so readily available to others."

"Awake is a quick little read about happiness. Who wouldn't want a little more happiness in their life? As I read, I admit, just reading some of the recommendations exhausted me, but I also realized that many of the authors suggestions, I had already put into place on my life. If I could spend some time in focusing on these actions, and reflecting on how they might effect others, I think I could, with little effort, increase my happiness. I think I'll give it a try!"

"You are a gifted writer and your book really hits home with me. It was an unexpected gift that I'm grateful for. You have opened my eyes to things in my self that have been stifled and repressed for so long and made me aware that I need to make changes so I can be the person I want to be. And that is a gift that is invaluable. Thank you and God bless you."
