This month's highlight
Feeling Your Way to Enlightenment restores feeling to its rightful place as a primary pathway to awakening. Challenging the dominance of cognition and belief in spiritual practice, the book reveals emotional and somatic awareness as direct gateways to truth.
Drawing on developmental psychology and stages of consciousness, it shows how feeling evolves — from reactive emotion to refined embodied knowing — and why insight remains unstable without embodiment. Its central insight is that enlightenment is not achieved by transcending feeling, but by entering it fully and consciously.
What People Are Saying
Lance Secretan
I love this book. It is a terrific piece of work with which I resonate strongly.
The subject of leadership is tired and broken. Richard Barrett’s latest work combines rigorous research and original thinking, which he offers (to those bold enough) as a fresh way of seeing the wholeness of humanity— the key to restoring greatness in our organisations and well-being in our lives.
Kath Roberts
A must read for any leader who is looking for a better way.
A first class summary of how to take the leap into a new paradigm of being and lead with grace, love and intuitive insight. This book builds on all the great leadership writers combining intelligent research, first hand results and spiritual depth of understanding. These transformational tools are practical and get right to the core of individuals providing self knowledge, understanding and self acceptance.
Andrew Jenkins
Richard Barrett is an outstanding author. His book: "What My Soul Told Me" is simply mastery. This is a serious book about a big topic in which he effortlessly brings into being and is able to put across very complex concepts simply, elegantly and articulately. Richard's explanations and expositions of the soul, the ego and consciousness are very well formed and easily grasped. It is a compelling approach and very accessible.
Tom Evans
This book will be read in a hundred years from now and seen as one of the books from the early 21st century that changed the direction in which humankind evolved.
The research behind it is phenomenally detailed but elegantly expounded. The concepts are huge but written in a way to be easily grasped.
Well done Richard - a masterpiece from a true master.
