Book Signing: Brett Moran’s “Wake the Fuck up”
There’s nothing more heartening than a comeback story. Brett Moran’s life is one of those stories. You might know him from his book ‘Wake the Fuck Up’. Most of the time, he can be found teaching yoga and meditation on an island in Thailand, occasionally hosting retreats. However, he’s traveling to London for the Om Yoga Show and will be hosting the workshop ‘Wake up & Tap into something truly epic — your life!’ along with a book signing for his novels. Afterwards, he’ll be joining yoganect at our stand: B2.
Who is Brett Moran?
Originally born in London, Brett doesn’t have the typical journey to yoga that you might have heard a million times before. He didn’t just walk into class at age 18 because he was interested. Instead, he was out on the streets dealing crack and other drugs. Three years later, Brett was sentenced to time in HMP Highdown Prison right after his daughter was born. But luckily, prison was exactly the push Brett needed.
After reading a book on mindfulness and meditation, he began to really think about the power of the mind. So, he studied meditation and dedicated himself to the practice every day. Like all journeys, Brett did face challenges. After being released from prison, he was back to his old drug habits within a year and was back in prison.
The real workout is done on the inside. While everyone else is chasing the external remember to take some time out and feed your soul with love and compassion. Everything else is juts an illusion. — Brett Moran
Once he was released for a second time, Brett took a vow to to never drink or do drugs again. He moved to Thailand and lived with the monks to learn with them how to truly find inner peace. Sixteen years later, Brett’s path is clear — helping others in their own transformations. On the way, he studied Buddhism, Spirituality, Positive Psychology, and the Law of Attraction. He worked in drug and alcohol treatment centres, and built an international coaching practice to help others reach their goals.
‘Wake the Fuck Up’ and ‘Shut the Fuck Up’
Brett’s first book, ‘Wake the Fuck Up’ tells the humorous and intimate story of how he went from crack to coconuts. How did he go from a drug dealer and prison inmate life to the one he lives now, where he happily lives in Thailand teaching yoga? ‘Wake the Fuck Up’ tells the tale and gives you the tools to wake yourself up and get back into life. Due to be released in 2018, Brett’s latest book ‘Shut the Fuck Up’ is all about shrinking the negativity inside your own mind. How do you find optimism and cultivate inner peace? Read his latest book to find out.
