IN AWE

John O'Leary

Rediscover Your Childlike Wonder to Unleash Inspirations, Meaning, and Joy

In his new book, IN AWE, #1 bestselling author John O'Leary turns to helping us rediscover the child-like qualities of wonder, curiosity, openness, and daring that will allow us to live life more fully. It is a love letter to living a better life.
We once raised our hand to answer every question, and jumped into new experiences boldly, excitedly and without fear. Now though, too many of us find ourselves caught in a life of dogged responsibility and mind-numbing repetition. We find ourselves disconnected, burned out, barely hanging on. The years of test-taking, relentlessly striving toward someone else's goals, and the daily struggle to earn a living, have caused us to lose the sense of wonder that we once awoke with every day.

O'Leary gives us the tools to enable us to regain that sense of expectation, engagement and joy we had as children, and use it to re-ignite our lives. The damage is reversible. Strengthened by the past, and empowered for the future, he shows us how to seek fresh insights, reach for new solutions, and help us to live our best lives.

Once expected to die, today John O'Leary teaches others how to truly live. As an internationally acclaimed speaker, bestselling author and podcast host, John is helping hundreds of thousands of friends to live inspired each year. He is the founder of Rising Above, a lifestyle organization designed to help people and companies live an inspired life. John speaks to 75,000 people each year, sharing his insights and inspiring message with emotional storytelling and unexpected humor. John inspires countless more through his weekly Monday Motivation essays, Live Inspired Podcast episodes and exclusive membership community. His first book, On Fire, has sold 130,000 since publishing in 2016 with S&S, and has been licensed in 11 countries (Brazil, China Complex, China Simplified, Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Korea, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, Vietnam).
