What do we mean by Higher Consciousness?

Life 101: Everything We Wish We Had Learned about Life in School-But Didn't
Book by Peter McWilliams

"This book talks about everything about life that we don't learn in schools. For example: love, relationships, mental health, death, managing yourself, money, time, etc. It is divided into many chapters and each chapter is like a ‘lesson' from school, so it's really cool the approach the author uses like he's a teacher and we're students learning about life through the chapters of the book, which are like classes."

Recommended by Farah Samir Abuatiyeh, member of the Student Advisory Board
