Slow Down, Wake Up

The #1 personal development writer on the internet with more than 75,000,000 views, Nicolas Cole, and clinical psychologist Dr. Matthew Jones, bring you a groundbreaking book of morning meditations. Slow Down, Wake Up, is a book of 150 poems intended to help you “wake up to the joy of you—and the world around you.” Stories, thought-provoking questions, quietly funny moments, and imagery that will change the way you meditate forever, each poem is intended to be read, contemplated, and treated as the beginning of a short 10-minute meditation. As the authors share in the book’s introduction, “These were poems we wrote during some of the busiest years of our lives.” Dr. Matthew Jones was completing his Doctorate program, and Nicolas Cole had just taken the leap from his 9–5 job in advertising, caught in a whirlwind of adventure building a multi-million dollar Thought Leadership Agency for CEOs, Silicon Valley founders, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympians, NYT best-selling authors, and more. Every poem in this book was written in a cab, on the train, in an airport, a hotel room, or a quiet moment between demands from the day. This project was a commitment to always remember to slow down, and wake up. Whether you are an expert in zen meditations, or searching for meditations for beginners, Slow Down, Wake Up is a reminder for you to carry with you throughout your busy day. In a quiet moment, flip open to a page, and realize what you are reading was written in a moment no different than yours. This is an invitation to you to slow down, and remember who you truly are.
