Awake Academy: Know yourself, grow yourself and live a happier, more
Are you feeling tired, lost or in need of a boost? Are you ready to feel more centred, connected and confident? This book will enable you to unlock your internal GPS. It's your complete toolkit to overhaul your mindset and radically transform your life. Layne Beachley, one of the world's most successful surfers, and Tess Brouwer, once Virgin Australia's Head of Partnerships, met while both at the top of their game. Then, their lives took a radical turn. Layne was burnt out and overwhelmed, feeling lost and lacking purpose following her 19-year professional surfing career. On the other side of the world, an accident left Tess in need of two spinal operations, facing seven months in and out of hospital with no guarantees of what life would look like on the other side. They both needed a toolkit to rebuild their lives. Together, Tess and Layne went on to create Awake Academy, delivering world-class transformational programs to people and businesses globally. Their lived-and-learned method has since helped thousands wake up with a renewed sense of purpose and deeper self-love, even - often especially - following heartbreak, loss and trauma. Now, for the first time, Layne and Tess share their powerful formula on the page. Structured by the three main pillars - Awareness, Alignment, and Awakening - this book features their inspiring personal stories along with easy-to-apply positive psychology principles, and practical exercises to boost your energy, emotional intelligence (EQ) and empathy. With their guidance, you will develop a deeper understanding of yourself while gaining skills to combat uncertainty, strengthen connections, boost your confidence to embrace challenges, and live a happier, more purposeful life. So, are you ready to detach from fear, take control and live a life you love? 'Real. Raw. Vulnerable. Helpful.' - Ben Crowe
