We are not broken.

Most of us do not come to meditation because life is easy. We come because something has shaken us and because the ways we have learned to cope no longer seem enough.

Ten Ways to Awaken is a clear, contemporary introduction to Buddhist practice for modern life. Through ten insights grounded in lived experience-from impermanence and karma to the illusion of a fixed, separate self-the book offers a practical map for seeing clearly, suffering less, and responding with wisdom and compassion.

Ramiro López Larroy writes not as a master, but as a fellow traveler, grounding each insight in ordinary life: the urge to check the phone, the argument replaying in your head, the pause before reacting, the moment you truly see the person in front of you.

Free of dense doctrine and formulas for self-improvement, Ten Ways to Awaken is an honest doorway into Buddhism-for anyone new to meditation, curious about the tradition but intimidated by its texts, or simply tired of living on autopilot.

With a foreword by meditation teacher Bart van Melik.
