Its author, however, is the antithesis of the traditional spiritual guru. He dresses in business clothes rather than a robe and sandals. He has never lived in a small stone hut in the Himalayas, nor does he collect crystals or read auras. All his insights have required eyeglasses.Married for 40 years with three kids, Charles "Chick" Atkins has experienced all the joys and sorrows that life normally bestows. He is human – just another guy behind the wheel in traffic. Non-descript.But Chick is different in one significant way. Chick is "awake."In the nine chapters of this book, he identifies nine moments of enlightenment in his life. Each provided a new level of comprehension and understanding that led to greater peace and happiness. Each provided answers to lifes big questions.This book is for everyone who feels disconnected or overwhelmed and who is yearning to be happy and whole, but who cant leave their 9-to-5 job or spend a week meditating in the Berkshires. Unlike most books of this type, this is not about using spirituality to escape ordinary life and live with your head in the clouds. Rather, its about using spirituality to embrace ordinary life and realize how extraordinary it actually is. Its a philosophy grounded in todays reality.Enlightenment, as youll learn, is simply living moment to moment, amid all the usual nonsense, with awareness and appreciation unblemished by the past. You are capable of that. After all, even once you get all your wishes, there will always be the dishes.Chick writes with humor, humility and, most important, practicality. His path can be your path, too. In the life story of an unlikely guru, you just might find insight into your own. Author Biography CHARLES "CHICK" ATKINS is a principal in the Atkins Companies, a real-estate development, investment, and management firm in West Orange, New Jersey, founded in 1949. Unlike most successful businessmen, however, Chick does not base his self-worth on P&L reports. "I have one foot in the traditional world of business and the other foot in the spiritual-seeking world," he explains. "Along with success in business, Im looking for answers and insights into the meaning of life ." This book explores how these two apparently dichotomous pursuits can become complimentary and lead to even greater levels of personal happiness and career success.
