Awakened Wisdom

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Application. Awakened Wisdom blends Buddhist, Native, and collected wisdoms into a beautifully crafted healing message for our modern culture. Patrick Ryan’s life experiences are as varied as they are unique. Ryan died from a drug overdose in his late teens, only to be revived with a new understanding of the Divine. He went on to be a successful entrepreneur, a Buddhist monk in Burma, and now an executive coach, trainer, and author. Ryan’s message to his readers is simple and profound: we get to choose how we want to live during our time on this planet. He offers up sound wisdom about how we might access different aspects of our Selves, as well as sage teachings and practical ideas for understanding and embodying the Eight Stages of an Awakened Life.

Awakened Wisdom includes exercises, daily practices, and plenty of anecdotes from Ryan’s own experiences along the journey that is our human experience. This book is equally valuable for those just beginning the exploration into the essence of who they are as it is for those who have a deep spiritual practice. As Ryan says, “It’s all part of the journey.”
