Des Lauriers\nYou are not your trauma. You are not your past. You are not your body.\nIn this raw and deeply moving memoir, Dorian A. Des Lauriers shares his journey through abuse, identity, collapse, and ultimately—awakening.\nGrowing up in a home defined by dysfunction, addiction, and profound trauma, Dorian learned how to survive—but never how to truly live. Beneath the surface of success, fatherhood, and achievement lived a hidden reality of shame, fear, and disconnection that shaped every decision, relationship, and belief about himself.\nFor decades, he searched for love, validation, and meaning outside himself… until everything began to fall apart.\nAt his lowest point—facing depression, addiction, and the collapse of his relationships—he experiences a moment of clarity that shifts everything. What begins as a subtle inner voice becomes a guiding force, leading him to question everything he thought was true.\nHe walks away from his life.\nFrom his home.\nFrom his possessions.\nFrom his identity.\nAnd sets out alone into the jungles of Costa Rica… in search of something he cannot yet name.\n\nWhat he discovers changes everything: The past does not define you Your thoughts are not who you are The identity you defend… may not be real\n\nThis book is for you if you’ve ever: Felt broken, lost, or disconnected from yourself Struggled with trauma, shame, or identity Searched for love and validation outside yourself Wondered if there is something more to life\n\nInside, you’ll discover: How childhood trauma shapes identity and behavior The hidden beliefs that quietly control your life The power of awareness, forgiveness, and letting go A new way to understand the mind, body, and spirit What it truly means to awaken\n\nAt its core, this memoir delivers a powerful truth:\nYou are not the story.\nYou are the awareness behind it.\n\nAwaken to Life in the Meat Suit is more than a memoir—\nit’s an invitation to remember who you are.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1945567732\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1945567732.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:DES LAURIERS, DORIAN A\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43627191763005,"sku":"BVV.1945567732.VG","price":20.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1945567732-0.jpg?v=1789507564","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/awaken-to-life-in-the-meat-suit-journey-to-find-my-way-home","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
