Awakening engages beginning students by discussing personal experience, employing a winning writing style, and approaching the subject from an historical perspective.

Awakening is an excellent introduction to comparative Eastern philosophic and religious thought. Awakening provides an engaging historical overview of the major philosophical and spiritual traditions of India, China, and Japan. Patrick Bresnan ties the past to the present and shows the relationships that exist between Eastern and Western traditions.

Review

"Patrick Bresnan has taken plough to soil, sown some fine seeds and reaped an abundant harvest in Awakening. Awakening has awoken many to the lush and varied landscape of Eastern thought, done so in a thoughtful, subtle and nuanced way, and, best of all, offered a suggestive middle way between the academic and existential approach to Religious Studies. Students delight in the text; so do I."

-Professor Ron Dart, Department of Philosophy/Religious Studies, University College of the Fraser Valley

"Awakening is a work of great merit. The author is also to be complimented for his lucid and engaging style, as also for the many anecdotes, analogies and excerpts from original sources which have made complex thoughts easy to understand. Serious readers will find enough to ponder that the twins of East and West don't only meet, but act and live together."

-Hari N. Verma, India Post
