Book reviews from online book club & goodreads
By Nelson Joseph Peter
In the realm of self-help and the literary arena of spiritual awakening, one would expect that "Awakening" by Jin Lan Cera is a lighthouse for deep wisdom and transformative insight. Every page, from the beginning to the end, tells the reader an even more scintillating story teeming with enlightening teachings.
This is one of the most incredible things in the book that has to do with the personal journey to self-discovery and transformation that the author himself goes through. In Jin Lan Cera's writing, to add depth to the spiritual truths learned and experienced, there's a blunt portrayal of the struggles, ups, and downs one goes through. As a reader, my sensitivity to portrayals of such resilience and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity was at an all-time high.
Very unique about this book is its approach to manifesting dreams: raising our frequency, broadcasting our intentions, and receiving abundance through three steps. Jin Lan Cera changed the old "Ask, Believe, Receive" method to provide a fresh insight that can easily entice a reader. The emphasis on mission-oriented living that is love-, compassion-, and service-induced is inspiring and practical.
What I liked about all these was the real-life application of this law and the scientific principles that back up the teachings in the book. The use of the Law of Attraction, life-science experiments, and the teachings of Buddha put a strong base on the concepts discussed and made them more practical.
The fact that the book is written without any typographical errors or any hint of profanity suggests that the author is very much committed to delivering polished and professional work. The book, expressed, moves from idea to idea so quickly that the ease in the flow makes it an utter delight to read and easy to take deep wisdom into one's mind that is shared between its pages.
Although the general thrust of the book is in the positive direction of self-realization and spiritual growth, some readers will feel the content is a little remote unless they come out of their comfort zone by opening themselves to considering concepts outside of that zone. This possible downside pales into insignificance, however, against the richness of insight and practical guidance provided throughout.
Ultimately, "Awakening" is an unrivaled gem in spiritual literature—one for anyone's bookshelf if they wish to develop personally, become enlightened, and draw closer to the universe. I rate it five stars and recommend it to all spiritual seekers on the way to self-realization.
By Khama Shetty
"Awakening…" by Jin Lan Cera is an extraordinary non-fiction journey that beautifully intertwines personal survival, the Law of Attraction, and spiritual awakening through the lens of Buddhism. Cera, a devoted science enthusiast, enriches her narrative with compelling scientific discoveries, making this book a personal memoir and a treasure trove of life-changing insights.
Cera’s recounting of her life is nothing short of inspiring. She shares her transformation from a staunch atheist raised during the Cultural Revolution to someone who found profound meaning in ancient religious teachings. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the relentless pursuit of truth. The way she integrates credible life science discoveries into her journey makes the narrative all the more convincing and relatable. Her acknowledgment that these ancient teachings are not just theoretical but experiential offers a refreshing perspective for truth seekers.
One of the book's most remarkable aspects is how it redefines the relationship between science and spirituality. Cera’s journey shows that these realms are not mutually exclusive but can complement and enhance one another. She describes her enlightenment as being guided by a constellation of life scientists and Buddhist/Taoist grandmasters, revealing that the ultimate truths of the universe are accessible to those who seek them with sincerity. Her experiences illustrate that ancient sages systematically taught these truths, which have been validated by numerous dedicated wisdom seekers.
Looking ahead, Cera plans to share more of her profound experiences through a series of books. Her commitment to engaging with like-minded wisdom seekers and sharing insights on social media platforms is commendable. She aims to foster a community where individuals can benefit from spiritual synchronicities and meditate together, creating a collective journey toward enlightenment. There is nothing to dislike about the book, and it is well-edited. I found no errors. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for its compelling narrative and inspiring story.
In conclusion, "Awakening…" is a deeply enriching book that offers a unique blend of personal narrative, scientific exploration, and spiritual wisdom. Cera's journey from skepticism to enlightenment is a beacon of hope and inspiration for anyone on a quest for deeper meaning in life. Her ability to bridge the gap between science and spirituality makes this book a must-read for both skeptics and believers alike.

Awakening takes the reader through the life of Jin Lan Cera. Her life was transformed after going through some life hurdles in 2020. And with the COVID-19 pandemic during that time, she undoubtedly suffered emotionally, physically, and mentally. Her career crumbled, and a 16-year-old marriage ended. All this happening fueled her desire to look for guidance, and she started researching and came across “the law of attraction." Upon further online research, she was able to understand how “the law of attraction” is linked to the tenets of modern philosophy.
Awakening by Jin Lan Cera is a non-fictional book with a pinch of science, religion, and Chinese culture. The author takes us through some of her significant life events, one of which is her father’s illness and how the doctor handled it until his last moments. When her father was first admitted to the hospital, she wasn’t able to visit because of the COVID-19 travel restrictions regarding visits. That raised her anxiety a lot and made her learn about a mantra recital that she found calming after reciting. She later found new love and had a wedding, but travelled shortly to China to visit her sick father in the hospital. The book also gives insight into different paths to self-realization.
Awakening is an intriguing book that kept me reading and made me want to know more about what will happen next. I was surprisingly amazed at how the author narrated some of the extraordinary events and practices that are done by YouTubers and scientists that were mentioned in the book and even went ahead and gave scientific explanations. I loved how the author mentioned several YouTubers that she found their content while doing her research. This made it easy to check them out and comprehend her writing. I didn't find anything I disliked in the book.
Awakening, by Jin Lan Cera, was professionally edited. I didn’t find any typographic errors. I would therefore rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read an inspirational book. It has little about Buddhism and Christianity that did not affect my reading.
By Leia Temple
"Awakening…" by Jin Lan Cera is a non-fiction book that revolves around personal growth and spiritual development. Cera slowly recounts her transformation from atheist to believing in Buddhist teachings following the tragedy of her father. Throughout her journey, Cera explores the Law of Attraction and offers practical advice for readers to manifest their own dreams.
Initially, I approached "Awakening…" with the expectation that it would be just another self-discovery book. While I appreciate the stories these books have to share, they often become monotonous. However, "Awakening…" defied my expectations in the most profound way. Cera's journey through pain, loss, and the relentless search for meaning led her to uncover deep truths about herself and the universe. I found myself relating to many of her struggles, especially her experiences with her deteriorating father and her exploration of spirituality. I loved that Cera incorporated the Law of Attraction and the unity of all sentient beings into her journey. She articulated that each individual carried within them the essence of the universe, which was something I firmly believed in.
Another aspect of this book that left a lasting impression was its depth. Despite its brevity, "Awakening…" had a narrative that was surprisingly easy to follow. I appreciated the story's natural flow and seamless time jumps. Part three of this book also resonated with me. I found Cera's take on raising one's frequency particularly novel and intriguing. The idea that by aligning our personal vibration frequency with the frequencies of our aspirations, we could attract positive energies and opportunities added a fresh perspective to the traditional understanding of goal-setting. It suggested a harmonious relationship between our inner state and the external realities we seek to create.
All in all, "Awakening…" by Jin Lan Cera was an insightful read. Part three especially taught me many things about spirituality and spiritual well-being. As such, I felt compelled to give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I had no criticisms or dislikes about the narrative. Remarkably, this book contained no errors, which highlighted how meticulous the editing was. It also contained no profanity or explicit content.
While "Awakening…" had elements of spirituality and references to the Bible, it appeared to be more aligned with Buddhist teachings. It offered an in-depth analysis of essential Buddhist scriptures, such as the Shurangama Sutra and the Lotus Sutra, and core concepts inherent to Buddhism. The author's reflections on these teachings made the doctrines relatable, emphasizing the inclusive and adaptable nature of Buddhism.
I would recommend "Awakening…" by Jin Lan Cera to spiritual seekers and anyone interested in Eastern philosophy and compassionate living.

By R Chinaza Onwuka
Awakening... presents a unique blend of memoir, self-help, and spiritual exploration. Jin Lan Cera, a Chinese immigrant to the United States, shares her transformation from an atheist focused on social justice to someone who embraces faith, the Law of Attraction, and Buddhist principles.
The book hinges on a pivotal moment where Cera, facing personal challenges in health, career, and relationships, discovers the Law of Attraction. Popularized by figures like Abraham Hikes and Rhonda Byrne, the Law of Attraction posits that our thoughts hold energetic power and shape our reality.
Cera finds solace in this concept and integrates it with scientific experiments like the Double-Slit Experiment, which suggests the observer's consciousness influences the behavior of particles.
Cera reframes the traditional "Ask, Believe, Receive" steps of manifesting desires into "Raise Our Frequency, Broadcast, and Receive." This revised approach emphasizes aligning thoughts and actions with goals, cultivating positivity and mindfulness, and clearly expressing desires while remaining open to their fulfillment.
A strength of Awakening... lies in Cera's vulnerability. She doesn't shy away from sharing the struggles that led her to seek a new path and the pain and guilt she felt, especially when her father passed away. This relatability makes the book more than just a theoretical exposition. Readers experiencing similar difficulties might find solace and inspiration in Cera's story.
The book also delves into Cera's exploration of Buddhism. This adds another layer to her self-discovery, suggesting that true fulfillment transcends material success and involves a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe. The author thoughtfully added links to websites and snippets from YouTube videos for easy access and confirmation of the information in the book.
However, Awakening... might not resonate with everyone. Skeptics of the Law of Attraction might find the central premise unconvincing. On a personal level, I found nothing to dislike about the book. It was well-written, exceptionally well-edited, a source of inspiration, and a realistic and well-referenced book. Therefore, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Overall, Awakening... is a thought-provoking read for those interested in personal growth and alternative spiritual perspectives. By combining personal experiences, scientific references, and Buddhist teachings, Cera offers a roadmap for aligning thoughts, actions, and goals to achieve a more fulfilling life.

Awakening by Jin Lan Cera is a self-help book that delves into a personal journey of struggle and resilience in the face of adversity. The book explores profound themes such as love, religion, science, and spirituality, using a first-person narrative and a casual tone that makes it both engaging and accessible.
Cera's life takes a downward turn in terms of health, career, and marriage, all coinciding with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. This tumultuous period forces her onto a path of self-discovery and awakening. Witnessing her father's health deteriorate due to medical interventions, Cera grapples with guilt and neglect but channels this negative energy into exploring various religions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and Chinese sacred arts. She places significant emphasis on Qi Gong, a Chinese meditation technique that transcends the physical realm, offering a fascinating account of its connection to actual science.
Cera also delves into Buddhism, achieving enlightenment through extensive study. Additionally, she reviews scholarly works by Rhonda Byrne, developing her three-step version of realizing one’s dreams.
Awakening reads more like a scholarly work than a typical self-help book, drawing motivation and guidance from published works and research. The book progresses at a pace that allows readers to internalize the content and reflect deeply. Cera's use of personal life stories engages readers emotionally, enabling them to relate more deeply to shared experiences. The seamless integration of science, religion, and Qi Gong techniques is impressive, encouraging readers to explore these connections themselves. The straightforward language makes the book enjoyable for readers of all levels, and meticulous editing ensures there are no typos or grammatical errors. The book is well-referenced, providing readers with opportunities for further reading.
Despite its many strengths, the book's structure could benefit from greater precision. The chapters are lengthy, and introducing sub-chapters could provide necessary breaks for readers.
Overall, I rate Awakening 5 out of 5 stars. The presentation is effective, and the research input is commendable. Cera successfully bridges the gap between science and spirituality, a challenging endeavor. This book is recommended for readers of all religions who are interested in discovering the connection between science and spirituality while learning how to achieve their dreams.

For individuals navigating challenging times, this book promises to shift their perspectives. Upon completion, readers will discover that turning their dreams into reality is simpler than they imagined, thanks to the detailed instructions offered within the pages.
We frequently find ourselves stuck in circumstances that lead to unhappiness, yet the pessimistic beliefs we hold onto tend to attract further negative experiences. Therefore, it's important to find gratitude for the small joys in life to prevent dwelling on what's been lost. By adopting a positive mindset and embracing the energy that accompanies achieving what you desire, that positive energy will manifest into the things you seek. Therefore, avoid allowing your frequency to be lowered by negative circumstances; instead, concentrate on the positives.
This book succinctly delves into the principles of the law of attraction through fascinating experiments that leave you in awe.

I give this book a perfect 5 stars because it serves as an unparalleled guide to fulfilling our aspirations. For anyone seeking to bring their dreams to fruition, this book offers comprehensive advice on realizing those dreams. The sole criticism I have for this work is that it would benefit from including a wider range of examples from various aspects of life. However, the examples provided are outstanding, drawing from genuine events. If you're interested in delving deeper into the teachings of Buddhism and Dharma, this book is highly recommended.
