General

A no-nonsense guide to establishing a personal meditation practice, changing your life, and taking hold of your dreams.

CONFESSION: This is not really an audiobook about meditation.

Yes, Justin Michael Williams is going to teach you everything you need to know about meditation--but if you came looking for a typical program on mindfulness, you're in the wrong place.

We are modern people in a high-tech world. We have first world problems and long to-do lists. And if you grew up in struggle--overcoming homophobia, sexism, trauma, shame, depression, poverty, toxic masculinity, racism, or social injustice--you need a different type of meditation ... one that doesn't pretend the struggle doesn't exist.

Now, Justin introduces Freedom Meditation--an approach that addresses disillusionment, social justice, and shame; strengthens intuition; cuts through self-doubt; and empowers you to make better decisions. Here you will discover:

- The five myths that create roadblocks to meditation
- How to actually find stillness when your mind is going crazy
- What nobody tells you about "setting intentions" and the science of manifesting
- Why you must turn toward toxic thoughts rather than just papering over them with positivity
- The opportunity and danger of getting creative ideas during meditation
- How meditation can help you find more success in your work and relationships
- Daily rituals that cement and enrich your practice
- How to use mindfulness to take action toward the causes you believe in and get sh t done

Read by the author, this innovative audiobook guides you step by step in creating a custom meditation ritual that fits in with your busy (and sometimes messy ) life. Whether you've tried meditation but it never sticks, or you've heard about it but never gave it a shot, Stay Woke gives people of all genders, identities, colors, religions, ages, and economic backgrounds the tools to stop wasting time, overcome self-doubt, and wake up to the lives we were really born to live.
