Summary

A compelling investigation of how intense psychological suffering can lead to a dramatic shift into a new, expansive identity

Why do some people who experience the worst that life has to offer respond not by breaking down but by shifting up, into a higher-functioning, awakened state, like phoenixes rising from the ashes? And perhaps more importantly, how can we emulate their transformations?

Over many years of observing and studying the phenomenon of life-changing awakening through extreme suffering, Steve Taylor coined the term “transformation through turmoil.” He calls these people “shifters” and here shares dozens of their amazing stories. In addition, Taylor uncovers the psychological processes that explain these miraculous rebirths after years of struggle or devastating loss, addiction, or imprisonment. He highlights a number of lessons and guidelines that the shifters offer us.

In Extraordinary Awakenings, listeners will find not only riveting stories of transformation that show the amazing resilience of the human spirit, but also hope and guidance to call on during their own struggles, together with inspiration and profound food for thought.

Important read

I’ve been a big fan of Steve’s for a few years now, since reading The Leap. I had a severe psychotic breakdown in 2011 and had what I now know was a spiritual awakening when I recovered. The Leap explained it all so well, and my mind was blown (in a good way) when I read it. I continue to follow Steve as he’s become very important in my life. Thank you Steve.

An eye opener

I came across Steve Taylor's books only recently after having read Eckhard Tolle's books on and off over the years. This is also my first audio book and I loved it. Here are fascinating and painful life stories about awakening and the authors thoughts and deductions about the whole spiritual process about enlightenment. The narrator's voice is deep and calming and has helped me with meditating whilst listening to the book. Needless to say I've already purchased another 2 books by Steve Taylor and very much look forward reading them.
