Anthony de Mello

 

 

 

Fr. Tony de Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counselling near Poona, India until his sudden death in 1987. Renowned worldwide for his retreats and workshops his goal was to teach people how to wake up and live!leaf

Most people, he maintained, are asleep. They need to wake up,  open up their eyes, see what is real, both inside and outside of themselves. The greatest human gift is to be aware, to be in touch with oneself, one's body, mind, feelings, thoughts, sensations.

De Mello's spiritual classic remains at the top of the Fount bestsellers more than five years after its original publication. One of the most gifted spiritual guides of the 20th century, de Mello uses humour, compassion and insight to help his readers into a real understanding of the importance of "awareness" in understanding ourselves and the world around us. Awareness is a comprehensive spiritual guide filled with wisdom as it tackles life's big questions--love, anger and fear, change, suffering, happiness and loss.
