After You Wake Up

Breaking Free from the Matrix

Publisher description

Do you ever feel like your life is on autopilot? As if you’re sleepwalking through someone else’s dream?

You go to work. Pay your bills. Scroll through the news. Buy things you don’t need. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you stop asking why.

That’s how the Matrix works. It doesn’t have to lock you up if you never notice the walls.

After You Wake Up brings together fifteen years of my writing and hundreds of my original quotes on the Matrix, Maya, truth, fear, freedom, and what happens when you begin to question the world presented to you.

Waking up can be uncomfortable. Neo found that out the hard way. But once you see the spoon isn’t there, how do you go back to living as if it is?

Don’t drift through life unconsciously. You are the author of your story.
