are you really alive

Author's Name: Anthony de Mello

There comes a moment in our lives when we honestly wonder if we are truly alive. Is what we feel really life, or are we repeating the days and passing them without living them? In this book, there are deep reflections and bold questions that take you out of the circle of routine life to make you face your true self. The author explores with intelligence and transparent language the meaning of being alive and how you can find your way towards a life full of meaning, far from the ready-made molds imposed on us by society.

Are you really alive? It is not just a question. It is an invitation to search for a life worth living and an opportunity to begin a new journey towards a true meaning of existence.

The afflicted lover said, “I only burned my fingers once, and I have no intention of loving again.” The wise man said to him, “You are like a cat that sat on the stove, was cauterized, and swore never to sit down again. The most valuable thing you can spend in your life is your time, so do not waste another moment of it not feeling happy.”
