BOOK 1 : AWARENESS
The Universe is so much more than the binary understanding we so easily revert to; it is three-dimensional. We are three-dimensional. The time has come to awaken to the power of the mind-body-soul relationship that allows us to live truly spectacular lives. We just need reminding now and again.
This book is an introduction to this universal knowledge that belongs to everyone and that should be widely shared. From relationships, artificial intelligence and free speech to emotions, energy and death, this book will challenge your understanding of yourself, others, the world you live in and the Universe you are connected to. This book is made to make you think.
It is a curated collection of quotes, facts, stories and observations, from the greatest minds and spirits of the past and the present, that provides insight into what it means to be human - the most important lesson that we can learn and apply to the future, for humanity and the Earth. Some people have said there are a lot of quotes in the book all widely available. My answer is that there is a lot of gold naturally available in the world - why aren't you a millionaire? I've searched, extracted, refined and molded this gold for you.

BIOGRAPHY
Dr Karl Phillips completed his doctorate in Mining Engineering from Cardiff University before working in many different sectors and for a wide variety of organisations. Mining requires 'holistic systems of systems' thinking.
Karl is a self-professed life learner and is always seeking to be at the cutting edge of technology, data and knowledge. He is now a consultant, an educator and a winner of multiple awards, including the international InnoCentive award (Capturing Institutional Memory & Knowledge). He has been fortunate enough to write many technical and management papers, present at worldwide conferences, work and travel all over the world.
He has always been willing to try new things, push the boundaries and tries to keep an open mind on things as well, whilst recognising that 'doing nothing is so under-rated' because it allows the mind and body to rest, and for the soul to speak, if you listen ever so carefully.
Karl believes that everyone can change the world, and he uses this philosophy to inspire and empower people through everything he does.
Effort is currently being directed at marketing and completing Book 2 (Consciousness), There is no specific publishing date for Book 2, but the end of 2025 is being planned. After going through the publishing process, it is amazing how much effort, reviews and re-writes are needed, and how long it all takes. That said, the experience of going through it once, better prepares anyone for their follow-on books. Big thanks to my publisher (Rowanvale Books Ltd).

"If you're ready to move beyond the surface and see life in full dimension, The Third Way: Awareness is definitely for you. A must read."
Anita Thakur, MUST READ
"It is a fascinating concept and executed with panache and intellectual energy. This first volume offers a selection of the world’s philosophies and quotes regarding life and addressing the classic philosophical question as to ‘how to live a good life’ or perhaps what the meaning of life is. One can read the as a journey into the history of human thought regarding the mystery of being alive. This impressive monograph ranges from reflections on human existence with its core elements such as time, desires, nostalgia, regret and hope....recommended for anybody with an intellectual curiosity."
A. Poitrowska, IMPRESSIVE MONOGRAPH
"One standout aspect of the book is its gentle, guiding tone. Rather than presenting itself as an instructional manual, *The Third Way* feels more like a companion on the journey of life, offering wisdom when needed and allowing space for introspection. Whether used as a reference guide or a source of inspiration, this work will resonate with readers seeking a more profound connection to their inner self and the world around them."
Betal Usha Sahu, GUIDING TONE
"Karl invites you to embrace the connection between mind, body, and soul, challenging the way you think about just about everything. It’s like having a deep chat with the universe itself, bringing ancient wisdom and modern insights together in a thought-provoking way. I loved how the book isn’t just heavy theory. Whether you’re feeling stuck in life or just curious about your place in the universe, this book feels like a gentle guide. It’s not a one-time read either."
Mansi Ramwani, UNIVERSE DEEP CHAT
"This book is a powerful reminder to cultivate faith, which can generate positive energy and momentum in our lives. It’s a resource I’ll keep close at hand for quick inspiration. I’m grateful to the author for sharing his profound insights, drawn from various facets of life, society, and nature. The writing is engaging, and the cover is visually appealing. I only wish I had discovered this book sooner. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking deeper understanding and growth."
Monika Singla, THOUGHT PROVOKING
"This book is a revelation, a new way of looking at things."
Lisa Paines, REVELATION
"Hey everyone this is an amazing book full to the gills with a depth of wisdom that will delight and guide you and shed light on how to get through difficult stages of life. I had the good fortune to work on an earlier incarnation of it and I am glad to see it out in on the market."
Richard M. Waters, DEPTH OF WISDOM
“I think my favourite chapter is chapter 12, “Who we have in our life matters most”. I think it is this chapter because it is probably the most basic and most important to us as human beings yet probably always part that we have most difficulty with, or that causes us most distress. It is what we should essentially concentrate the most upon and yet what a lot of us fail at and take for granted until it is too late. This chapter brings us back to our roots… Amazing read.”
Anonymous Reviewer 1, AMAZING READ
“I was drawn to the genre and the fact that it promised to “open my mind”. I am always on the lookout for new writers, who have a unique perspective. The thing that sparked my initial interest was the mention of “life Lessons” having reached middle age, I am interested in this topic in particular.”
Anonymous Reviewer 2, GREAT BOOK
“I enjoyed the initial story of the person who left their home to travel the world only to end up back where they started. It appealed to me that we should not be defined by external factors but rather look within ourselves to find what we really seek.”
Anonymous Reviewer 3, REALLY ENJOYED
“I do think there are some good ideas in The Third Way. I loved the idea of a sunset and a sunrise being available every day. Since reading that, I have made myself wake up early enough each morning to watch the sunrise. The section on organising resonated with me as well. Whenever possible, I declutter and live a minimal lifestyle.”
Anonymous Reviewer 4, BRILLIANT
“I haven’t read many books in this genre, but I will be from now on. The things section kept me hooked. I also found the death section really enlightening and made me think. I think that this book could be re-read several times, and it will be relevant in years to come too.”
Anonymous Reviewer 5, ENLIGHTENING
“My first impression was “wow, what an unusual concept” and that the author has a unique concept which if not portrayed correctly has the potential to be misunderstood. Very quickly I realised this was an enthralling reading. After completion of the book, my impression was the same, The Third Way is a valuable asset to a reader bookshelf.”
Anonymous Reviewer 6, WOW!
“This is definitely a timeless book as a lot of the discussion in this book refers to basic human nature and that will never change. I don’t think anything dates it as the themes are based on emotions and again, they are constantly present in us. I picture in my head a copy of this book, complete with highlighted sections, words underlined, notes scribed at the sides, and yes, even dog-eared pages…in other words, an essential reference to our lives.”
