So, until someone of us writes one from a Christian Resurgence perspective I suggest this book as a useful spirit guide for Christian teens. The advantage of the Christian Resurgence perspective is its openness to learn from spirit resources of all traditions. Winston's experience as a Buddhist nun (for a year in Burma), in teaching meditation to young people for ten years in the U.S. and India (she inserts many comments from her students), and in founding and directing the Buddhist Alliance for Social Engagement, as well as her relative youth (under 40), enables her to understand teens as well as speak with the wisdom of experience. The book is a basic primer of Buddhism, including instructions for meditation. I particularly appreciated her explanation of the difference between discernment and judgment, the section on choosing friends wisely, and the chapters on finding right livelihood. She also covers the hot topics of dealing with emotions, sex, and intoxicants. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keep coming back *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017* I Got this book at the library about 2 years ago and I couldn't stop thinking about it and eventually decided I wanted it to be a part of my library. I love this book so much. The only thing I would change is the title because I don't believe this is just for teens. In fact, I let my 14 year old sister read it and she read the first chapter and didn't like it. I think she's too young for it. I first read this when I was like 20 and I loved it. I also think it's more about spirituality than it is a guide to Buddhism. This book put so many things into perspective for me and I go back to it constantly. This is probably one of my favorite books that I've ever read and I recommend you read it with an open mind and without any expectations. There are great life lessons in this book that I have incorporated into my lifestyle. This book educated me and it also saved me ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very grounded, simple to read and understand book that does justice to Buddhist philosophy *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2019* I teach meditation to teenagers in a high school and this book, more than any of the others that I've read so far, helped me to explain meditation and buddhist concepts to my students. I've bought several copies because so many of my students want to read the rest of it beyond the excerpts from class.I was initially hesitant because of the cover, but I'm very grateful that I bought this book. Don't be turned off if you don't identify as Buddhist - I myself am not. It's not dogmatic at all, just like Buddha's teachings, and I would argue that besides the one paragraph on reincarnation, there's nothing in this book that any person, regardless of where they stand on religion (even atheists), could not wholly agree with and find insightful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8611439-wide-awake-a-buddhist-guide-for-teens](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8611439-wide-awake-a-buddhist-guide-for-teens) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
