From Radical Happiness: “When we are identified with the mind, we believe that we are who we think we are: our self-images and the labels that we have for ourselves. But is that who you are? If that is who you are, then who is it that is able to think about this question? What is it that is aware of the ideas that make up your self-image? What is it that is aware of the coming and going of thoughts?”

Review by: Laura Katleman-Prue on March 14, 2011 :
With its simple suggestions and exercises Gina Lake's book, Radical Happiness, enables the reader to easily drop into the experience of an awakened life, perhaps never to return to the egoic state of consciousness. Its hopeful message is that our natural state is available to us whenever we place our attention there rather than on the contents of the mind. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for seekers who have tired of the search and are ready to become finders. If I had read Radical Happiness without knowing who authored it, I could have readily attributed it to Eckhart Tolle. In the genre of books on self-realization, it stands unmatched.
