"Evan skillfully combines thought-provoking content with practical guidance to offer a book that is both inspiring and useful. The rich collection of insights, guided meditations, reflections, investigations, and practices are rooted in research and integrated thoughtfully, making it accessible and beneficial for people of all ages. Evan understands that simple exercises can create more joy, more fulfilling relationships and improve wellbeing, it just takes a bit of regular practice. In this sense, Awake is not just a book, it is an important toolkit full of wisdom and inspiration that we can all use everyday to improve our lives."

"There is so much to deeply appreciate about this book: the thoughtful articulation of principles rooted in research; the ease of the language, making it accessible to so many ages and stages of life; the wise integration of practices with inspiration; and the breadth of the wisdom offered. Evan Sutter truly understands that positive change is possible, and yet not easy, and he provides a rich exploration of topics that we in the field of positive psychology and resilience know matter deeply. But I have to say, what I love most about this book is the felt sense of joy that resonates through the work - as a reader we can feel Sutter's delight in bringing forward research, wisdom, practical guidance and inspiration so that we might actually have a chance in constructing a life of positivity and one worth living at that!"

“Evan taught me a range of techniques and simple practices that made the very difficult transition to life after football a lot easier. Evan's calm, positive and supportive (and happy) nature helped me, and continue to help me, navigate the challenges of life while learning to enjoy the simple, and important, things that are easy to forget. Coming from someone who has had a lot of coaches, I couldn't recommend Evan enough!”

“Evan delivered an engaging and insightful keynote at GOTO Amsterdam. He clearly defined a number of key aspects helping each one of us to focus on what we can do to be happy. He shows how this links to better businesses and generates greater happiness for all stakeholders. Evan's work has inspired us internally at Trifork and we are proud to be able to share his thoughts and ideas with others through our conferences. At GOTO Amsterdam he took dense content and presented it in a way that was relatable, interesting and engaging for the audience at our software developer conference. I can highly recommend using Evan as a keynote speaker. “
