Powerful book
This small but mighty book packs a powerful spiritual punch. An important read for your soul during major life changes
YOU ARE NOT CRAZY YOU ARE WAKING UP
CONTAINS MUCH ENLIGHTENED TRUTH IN A CONCISE FORMAT. IT STATES WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW BUT NEED REMINDED ON OCCASION. THE TITLE WILL LEAD TRUTH-SEEKERS TO READ IT.
Fantastic!
Someone recommended this book to me. Fantastic! I love it. This is my first introduction to Michael Mirdad. Even though the book is only 90 pages, it is to the point about Soul Transformation. It explains so much of what I’ve been going through these last few years. I felt so much better after reading it. Thank you, Michael, for such a gem of a book.
Highly recommended no matter where you are in the soul transformation process.
Amazing book. Came to me at the perfect time in my life and each soul transformation stage reflected the steps I had to go through. I love Michael’s quote and use of that great Yes song Changes from 90125 — “At some point, your life is going to fall apart, crash, become stagnant or perhaps become unfulfilling. It will happen to you; it will happen to me; it will happen to everyone eventually. It’s unavoidable, much like death itself. It’s like the old saying, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” In the pages that follow, this learning experience is referred to as the “Soul Transformation Process.”
Not crazy, just transforming
I really thought I was going crazy until I read this book. Michael is a true modern spiritual teacher who helps you understand your heart and souls journey. Having had the honor of meeting personally with Michael and having him help me through my darkest night of the soul in person too, I recommend this book to everyone going through hard times.
Exactly where I was at
This book helped me to feel at home with what I was going through and know it is all okay.
your not going crazy…your just waking up the five stages of soul transformation process
dr. michael mirdads book,has helped me to understand that there is an easy way,and a hard way.in my life i had chosen the hard way.now with his book,i am learning to choose the easy way.it also has helped me to realize that i am not crazy,and there are other people going through the same things as me.so i am not alone.what i really like is that it is not just the words,but real exercises to help you along the way.its about surrendering to god.and when one person is healed we all can heal
Thank heaven I am not going crazy!
What a brilliant and powerful little book. This is a potent and concise description of the stages one goes through as they walk through soul transformation. What a relief it was to find that I was not alone in the things I was experiencing in my journey to “enlightenment”. I also found great comfort in knowing that there are clearly defined stages to the process…..this helped me not to fear as much what the next stage granted. Because this book so brilliantly lays out the details and yet big picture to soul transformation I was able to take one step at a time in pursuing my goal of spiritual wellness while at the same time have the continual encouragement of seeing the glory of the big picture. This author has a mastery of presenting understandable, relatable and concise tools to the pursuit of transforming ones soul. If soul transformation is what you are experiencing I think you will find comfort in this book.

Very nice
Simplify simplify simplify
A very complex, bottom of your soul calling, a stage of life truly frightening. But reading this book helped to simplify, bring humility and our true souls need to want to do it right, intelligent, thoughtful and caring.
Going Crazy with Purpose
I have seen Michael a couple of times and heard him speak so very curious about the book. I know that the Course in Miracles is a Major teaching and yet at times it feels overwhelming . Appreciated his easy to understand interpretation of the material and application of the concepts.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone on Spiritual path.
Michael Mirdad Renowned Spiritual Teacher Gifts Us with another Literary Gem
“Waking up” can be a difficult process when you do not have expert spiritual guidance to transform your fears, old paradigms, and patterns.
Dr. Michael Mirdad takes you by the hand and gently guides you through your transformational process with his world renowned, one-of-a-kind spiritual gifts, and down to earth sharing.
No matter what you are struggling through, waking up, facing your fears, discovering your strengths and re-creating your highest experience of Self can now be a much more gentle process when you have the pure spiritual wisdom and loving care provided for you within the pages of this groundbreaking book.
There are but a handful of spiritual teachers and books that I can honestly recommend as MUST READ, TOP NOTCH – “You’re Not Going Crazy, You’re Just Waking Up” by world renowned spiritual expert Dr. Michael Mirdad is at the top of my list.
Once you read his work, I believe you will feel the same way, too.

This book was a huge part of my awakening further, it’s an easy read and I personally but a few and give them to those going through ” the dark night of their soul”
A Must Needed Spiritual Guide To Soul Development
Dr. Mirdad’s book has been absolutely essential in my counseling practice, for helping my client’s to understand the purpose of life’s tests. I have handed it to all age groups, spiritual backgrounds, and gender, and everyone seems to return with a comforting insight that they were not able to acquire on their own about the soul’s plan for growth and development. I am happy to finally find a teacher who explains what happens to us when our lives fall apart from a spiritual perspective that doesn’t make God the scapegoat for why death, unemployment, divorce, and disease occur. This is a must read book and should be in everyone’s library. If you like Michael’s book you should definitely check out Angela Sorenson’s autobiography, because she highlights Dr. Mirdad’s teachings and shares from a very vulnerable and honest perspective what it takes to truly heal your life. Oh…For the Love of God: A Tell All Story of a Woman’s Journey Toward Self-Discovery
It was nice to know
It was nice to know, I am not the only one who has been experiencing craziness.
A quick read, will read over again.
Delivery very fast.
You’re Not Going Crazy
This book is very concise and comforting. It gives life lessons in an easy format and reaffirms the progress you have made in life already. I recommend all Michael’s books and workshops.
This book will change your life! If you are …
This book will change your life! If you are going through the dark night of the soul, going through a life transformation or just feeling spiritually out of sorts, this thought-provoking book is a gentle and loving guide back to your inner light on the other side of your pain and struggle. Michael’s insights will heal and bless you.
Quick Fix
Did you ever have one of those times in your life that may have gone on for years where you struggled and struggled but you couldn’t seem to break free of some sort of thunder cloud that seems to follow you around? This book helps with that and it’s a quick read. I found it helpful as I was going through my transitions that seemed so bleak until I read this book. The author clearly has a religious preference but I don’t, so I just jumped over the very few awkward bits and focused on the point of the book. There are little things that make the world a little brighter when you can’t understand what’s happening or why. For me, a tiny piece of mica on the side of the road all twinkly in the sunshine was one, and this book is another. If you’re like I was, keep looking for the little twinkles and things that give you a little thrill no matter how small. There’s more to be found and you will find them, this book is a great way to understand what’s going on within.

Love this little gem!!!
A wonderful book by an amazing teacher
This book is for anyone feeling like their world is quickly changing at a head-spinning rate. I found I was having many “symptoms” of a spiritual awakening and sometimes I was feeling not so spiritual! This light book gave me a sense of calm… a sense of “oh, I’m not alone in this”. Think of it as a navigation guide for your soul. And good luck!
A concisely written tool for decoding your soul’s purpose!
I very much appreciate how Michael has taken 10’s of thousands of words of knowledge and “drawn a map” to simplify the journey to our soul’s happiest purpose! Just do the exercises – results are immediate. Thank you, Michae
You’ll Love It!
This is a great book which will open up your heart to understand more about where you’re life is headed & that you are among others who are going through the same experience.

It’s a wonderful book, very comforting when going through this incredible process
mirror on the wall
I first bought this book for a friend of mine; she was going through a tumultuous transition and I wanted to help… I should have known better, a week later, it was my turn! I ended up having to get her another copy! This book doesn’t erase scary feelings, it explains them (like taking Lamaze class before giving birth). There is even a beautiful birth afterwards… The process is so worth it. As is this book!
Very clarifying, straight forward, and relatable
I definitely recommend this book to anyone going through the dark and confusing times of awakening. I found it very comforting and the exercises to be really helpful.
Short but very deep and essential for healing
A short but powerful book that is useful for healing and guidance under stress. A must read for knowers of a course in miracles.

I enjoyed it.
A beautifully-package and well-written book by a modern-day spiritual master!
I’ll repeat myself by saying that this is a beautifully-package and well-written book by a modern-day spiritual master. It is simple, yet profound with lots of subtle bits of humor sprinkled in. This is a book of ancient wisdom told with modern terms like “download this into your mind.” This is my second full reading of the book in the last four days. It has the feel of a workshop with its lessons, exercises, examples, and prayers. I plan on keeping this book by my bed so that I can read the prayers before I go to sleep at night. I’ve been through several crash and burn situations in my life that have been largely unnoticed by anyone except me. I now realize the value of fully understanding the Dismantling, Emptiness, and Disorientation phases of the Soul Transformation Process. During my tough times, I didn’t know how depressed I could get, how I’d lose friends, and how I’d be subjected to unkind ridicule. Now I know that’s all part of the process.
Thank you Michael Mirdad.
This book by Michael Mirdad brought me a wonderful sense of comfort like no other I have read on waking up. I have felt crazy but now I feel like I really am waking up. Thank you.

It’s a wonderful book, very comforting when going through this incredible process
This book is a gem!
This latest book by Michael Mirdad is definitely a gem! It is concise and yet thorough. I have read it through a few times and still look up aspects of it again.I hadn’t realized there were actual, definable steps to learn from within certain events I was labeling as failures, until I read this book. Have you ever found it annoying if someone said to you, “you brought this on yourself”, or any such thing that sounded like that! I sure have. Now i find it easier to see my part and welcome change. Not only I have been helped but I am able help others, if it comes up, in a gentle and comprehensive way.
I am looking forward to more from Michael Mirdad.
A Gem
This is a gem of a little book for anyone who has been diagnosed as depressed or is consciously journeying through a dark night of the soul.
Very simply written and easily understandable. Highly recommended.
You’re not going crazy…you’re just waking up
This book is for everyone in the world to help them navigate through every situation that seems to be confronting them. If you think you are going crazy…..READ THIS
it is so easy for us to think there is something we are …
Michael’s book was so eye opening for me as well as being heart opening. When we are in the midst of difficulties in our lives, it is so easy for us to think there is something we are doing wrong that is causing the challenges. It was a great reminder to know it is all part of the awakening experience, to remember who we are and why we are here, to be love, to share love everywhere we go. It is our life’s mission. Michael is a good example of that. Thank you, Michael, for the wonderful work you do. We enjoyed having you at Unity on Cape Cod when you were on the East Coast. With love and blessings, Patricia Conte-Nelson xo 🙂
I openly use this book in my practice and give it away as a resouce!
As a hypnotherapist, clients come to me often as a last resort saying, “my life is falling apart and I don’t know what else to do.” I too was in a “dark night of the soul” when Michael Mirdad’s “You’re Not Going Crazy You’re Just Waking Up” book was recommended to me. I immediately read it through once, twice, thrice, and still use it daily for my own personal development and in my business. I incorporate the book as a guide with my clients as I see them through their “dismantling” phase and coach them to building a new life! Included in the cost of client sessions is a copy of this book using the exercises and prayers as homework. Nobody has a problem too big for this little book to handle. Thank you Dr. Mirdad for clearly defining a soul “transformation process” we can all easily incorporate into our daily life!
Not Crazy
Boy, was this unexpected! The thesis is well presented and the five stages of spiritual transformation were well delineated. Before I was half-way through, I was writing down events from my past which proved Mirdad’s typology. This is a short enough book to make a re-read possible, and/or to re-read the portions that I’m still “getting”.
You’re Not Going Crazy…
This could easily be referred to as a pocket guide to ‘Life’. A spiritual navigation through the bumpy roads we endure written beautifully from a true Master. It describes what we are experiencing in a way we can grasp a true understanding of ‘why’ we experience the things we do and how to move through it with grace and dignity to a much better place. It has greatly enhanced my own journey making it easier to endure even the hardest steps. I highly recommend this book as I can not imagine a person on the planet that wouldn’t benefit from reading it.
Great Book
What a surprise this one was. So short, but so insightful. I would recommend it to anyone who’s into spiritual or personal growth.
Author stays in touch
I asked author to provide a sample and he did! Many thanks to author for ability to sample.
WOW!
This book was amazing. The roadmap it provides, will help guide the user along life’s treacherous paths. It will guide you along the way, like a lantern in the night.
You’re Not Going Crazy…You’re Just Waking Up!
The book has arrived safely to my address and is in good condition. I can’t remember I bought this book as second hand or brand new but the condition of the book is as new. It arrived on the day I was about to fly overseas so I pack this book with me and take the time to read it while I am on board. I am very happy with this book. The content is perfect for my current stage of life too.
Another great book by Michael Mirdad
Another great book by Michael Mirdad. The book incorporates concepts from A Course in Miraxles plus Michael’s own unique perspective. Very helpful, exactly what I needed
You’re Not Going Crazy….You’re Just Waking Up!
I found this to be an incredibly focused little book with a HUGE message. This is a pointed, direct, yet charming easy-to-read manuscript that touches and moves the soul on so many levels. The pages are colorfully dressed with many spiritual reminders that we are all, indeed, “waking up” to Spirit and our full potential. Most importantly, this book specifically guides the reader, step by step, through the various stages of soul transformation, leading the reader to a better understanding of why personal trials and tribulations help steer us towards our own spiritual awakening. This is a must read for anyone on his or her own spiritual path and/or in need of personal healing. Beautiful book that consoles the heart and touches the soul, especially during these challenging, present-day times.
Motivating and Optimistic message.
Love it and shared it with several friends, a positive,optimistic outlook on life.
A Pocket Guide for Life
Little books, compacted packets of essential wisdom often call to me at the checkout counter at my local bookstore. I’ll grab one to add to a gift or because the title will speak to appease a lingering emotional angst. Once in hand, the little book will hold me for all of fifteen minutes. Words, such as those in a compilation of famous quotes or Life’s Little Instruction Book, will offer but fleeting comfort and wisdom.
Michael Mirdad’s little book entitled You’re Not Going Crazy…You’re Just Waking Up! is different. Yes, I was drawn in by the beautiful cover, the compact easily accessible quick read and the title that promised me at last the route out of the sometimes crazy state of my human condition. But once inside that little book I realized I had indeed come upon true wisdom. Michael Mirdad’s words carry more than your average message. These are words of light.
Encountering pain, adversity and loss are inevitable events throughout our human lives. In this little book, Michael Mirdad, a teacher of Christ consciousness and spirit-based health and healing, not only presents a succinct way through pain, but aids in enlightening us to its greater purpose. Whatever the nature of your trial or “dark night of the soul” Michael Mirdad’s outline for this process is written so clearly and with such heartfelt investment in our success that this is a book to hold on to. It’s like a compact first aid kit to revisit time and time again for those times when we are confronted with life’s adversities.
He outlines five stages that not only provide such relief but are the essential steps in the process of soul transformation. The five stages are 1) Dismantling 2) Emptiness 3) Disorientation 4) Re-building and 5) A New Life. Similar to the five stages of grieving Michael Mirdad’s explanation of these steps takes us one level deeper into cosmic reasons that illustrate the soul’s task of shedding ego and developing spirit.
Five steps. Sounds simple doesn’t it? We all know it’s not, but Michael Mirdad’s writing is so compelling and easy to understand that once we understand the process, we’ve made it halfway to that light at the end of the tunnel. For me personally, I’m no stranger to pain. Widowed with five children I’ve had my share of trials and I’m sure there will be many more to come. This little book is now like my little essential pocket guide.
FTC Statement: Michael Mirdad’s You’re Not Going Crazy… You’re Just Waking Up! was attained as a complimentary copy provided by the publisher.
Five Stars
A powerful little book that’s right on target!
A perfect handbook for transformation
I cannot remember how many copies of this book I have bought, because I keep giving my most current copy away. It is the human condition to change and transform ourselves and our lives, the bigger shifts in our consciousness can be frightening. We tend to think there is something wrong with us if we are not happy and joyous most of the time. This book is a great road map through the journey of transformation, to understand what is happening and to have an idea of what is around the corner.
I work with many people who are used to consciously taking themselves through transformations in their personal and professional lives, at times everyone still needs the confirmation and assurance that this book brings to the transformation process.
I will always have a copy and will keep buying more of them as often as I need to. Great book.
One of the best
One of the best little accompanying books to the ACIM lessons. Love this book and is an easy read and a re-read
An “owner’s manual” for living through challenges
This book is wise and witty, much like Michael Mirdad himself. You’ll want to read through it more than once…savoring every word. It is an easy read that is full of insight…the prayers and exercises are tremendously helpful in guiding one through a dark time. It discusses the transformation process that will get you through life’s challenges. The process includes five stages: dismantling, emptiness, disorientation, re-building, and a new life. Mirdad likens it to childbirth, where the pain can seem endless, but is quickly forgotten with the arrival of a new baby. It all sounds so simple–so logical–in Mirdad’s words. A must-read for everyone who is struggling through difficult times or who is looking to achieve new depths of spirituality.
A very good read if you’re at a point of reflection and …
A very positive spin on midlife transformation and midlife crisis. A very good read if you’re at a point of reflection and can really view the sometimes daunting changes in a positive way.
you’re not going crazy…you’re just waking up!
A wonderful book. Easy to read and understand and yet so very profound. I go back and read passages over and over again and have given copies to my friends and family.

This book has been great! If you’re looking for understanding of why things happen in your life and what’s going on…this book is it. It has really helped transform my life in so many ways.
Undergoing Changes in Your Life?
“You’re Not going Crazy” is a learner’s manual for being a human on planet Earth where change is the “name of the game.” Who has not experienced various degrees of angst from wanted or unwanted changes? Michael Mirdad gives a “blow by blow” description of the psychological/emotional/mental processes all of us have gone through when experiencing the major (and minor) stress resulting from the changes in our lives that are necessary for spiritual growth. More than just a description, however, “You’re Not Going Crazy” tells us how to recognize the various phases, or stages, of inner transformation, how to deal with the accompanying anxieties, and how to help ourselves heal. A valuable book for everyone, especially someone in “crisis,” “You’re Not Going Crazy” is a must-read for counselors of every type to help them truly understand what their clients are going through and how better to help them.
Much Needed Insight
I read this book during a hard time in my life, when everything seemed to fall apart and just as the title implies, I thought I was going to go crazy! One thing after another, without any rhyme or reason, and I just couldn’t understand!
This book greatly helped me through this time, giving me a positive outlook on these situations which I thought no good could come of. By the end of this rather short little book, I was ready to face a new chapter in my life with my head held high, rather than being afraid of more negative situations being thrown at me.
Once I stepped back and looked at everything in my life from the perspective given by Dr. Mirdad, I was able to see the big picture and the universal reasons behind everything that was going on. In the end, I was given the “push” I was so badly in need of in life, and once I accepted this things began to smooth out almost immediately, and I now feel I am closer to where I should be in my life.
It may seem overkill to attribute so much to a book, but I do owe much to Dr. Mirdad and this amazing insight, which was just what I needed! I hope that through sharing my experience others who believe they may be going through what I did will look into this book, and possibly find the same help I did. I wish good luck to such individuals, and hope you find the peace you’re searching for, whether it be here, or where ever you’re able to obtain it.
I can highly recommend his book
The very idea that we all go through the ups and downs of life! Michael explains what happens to all of us and “wakes” us up to the idea that it is normal to go through the various bumps in the road that life IS! Having the opportunity to see Michael speak in person, I can highly recommend his book….knowing where his “heart” is. You will enjoy this book and grow from the knowledge it imparts upon you!
