Wising Up is for everybody: the middle-aged, aging boomer, and anyone interested in Wising Up and living more consciously. After over forty years of combined experience in teaching and creating and facilitating workshops, Milton realized that our culture's focus is primarily on recreation and prolonging life, rather than the quality of that life. He concluded that people who were willing to look at their own personal histories are better able to make changes that produce a more satisfying life without regrets. These concepts can recreate the promise of hopefulness you may have forgotten: Self-awareness Awareness of attitudes and behaviors that limit and contribute to a sense that somehow life is not working. Conscious living Conscious living implies your choices are based on today's reality. Awakening to wholeness Rediscover your own wholeness and a sense of hope. Wising Up reassures that life has meaning and instructs how to find that meaning. The book provides methods to increase consciousness and broaden narrowed perspectives. Through the author's own experience, as well as the teachings of others, you will learn the process involved in self-discovery and greater attentiveness to living. Participate in Wising Up and live life without regrets.
What a comforting and at the same time, challenging book! I felt like I was having a cup of coffee with the author and we were sharing our lives. Personal anecdotes, spirituality, suggestions and journaling ideas help guide the reader to make positive life-long changes. A great read - I'm looking forward to Mr. Milton's next book!

This is a very powerful book. By making himself vulnerable and putting his own issues about growing old out there for us to see Mr. MiLton has made a real contribution. Sometimes as we grow older even in the midst of family and friends we have a sense of going it alone. This book helps us connect and reconnect I am in the process of evaluating my life and deciding what I want to do for the next 67 years; this book has really helped me move that process along. P.S. I gave a copy to my 17 year old grandson so that he could better understand what I am going through and he loved it.
