About the author

Randy Siegel is an author, artist, and teacher focusing on union, reunion, and communion with self, others, and the Divine.

This summer, Randy released his sixth book: “Change Begins Here: Adopt the Mind of Christ and Build a Better World.” In it, he turns to a number of faith traditions to conclude that as spiritual people we must awaken to the realization that change begins here—right now—with us. By adopting the mind of Christ, or Unity Consciousness, we can become the change we want to see in the world. In his down-to-earth style, Randy Siegel shares how heaven is attainable when we adopt the mind of Christ. Not just for saints, sages, and shamans, Christ or unity consciousness is something all of us can employ regardless of our faith.

Siegel has authored five additional books including the Amazon bestseller "In Search of The One: How to Attract the Relationship You've Longed For." He has written articles for Balance Magazine, the Washington Post, and other publications and is often quoted by the media, including USA Today, Money Magazine, and Wall Street Journal online.


Randy's Writing Philosophy:

"I believe there is no better classroom than our lives. I also believe love and work offer the greatest potential for personal and spiritual growth since that’s where our inner challenges become most visible. Relationships forge the cornerstone of life, love, and work. All that happens in this world happens in relationship—beginning with the sperm and the egg. We are just not connected; we are one. As such, we are perfect mirrors for each other’s awakening. Thus it stands to reason that one of the most direct routes to reunion and communion with our higher power is relationships. Relationships are the superhighway to the Divine."

There are people in this world who make everything better just by showing up. Randy Siegel is one of those people. Some might call it good karma, but I think it has more to do with Randy's determination to get the most out of life and to seek out the best experiences along the harrowing path. He uses all the tools in his substantial psychological arsenal, and even a bit of tough love seeps in if the occasion warrants it. Everyone can benefit from his wisdom. He's been there, and he knows the route to wellness and wholeness. Read this book for yourself, and then insist your friends read it, too.

Randy is amazing. I think it's the human condition to all have our hearts broken at some time. I feel it deeply but often don't have the capacity to express the feelings. Randy does it for me. His honesty, vulnerability, humor and grief all are my feelings exactly. And I find myself being helped so much because he could say it for me. This book was a great healer for me. Thank you for helping me to go from shut down and frozen to open and ready for my next great love.

I was given this book while distraught over a breakup. The author's straightforward and personal way of writing made it easy for me to absorb valuable tools to help me in my recovery. It took the edge off my sadness and started me in a better direction.

As a 52 year old woman still licking wounds from a divorce several years ago, I found the calm, clear, insights shared in Break Up, Wake Up, Move On to be very helpful and quite entertaining. I love how Randy can laugh at himself for thinking or doing things we all have thought or done. He offers suggestions for delving into yourself and learning more about why you did what you did, as well as what you might want to do differently next time—all presented in an engagingly personal way that I could easily digest. I’m going to read this book a second time and follow the “Consider This” tips, and I look forward to waking up and moving on real soon!

One of the main facts on life is that we live in a Duality, and we get to experience the good with the bad. This applies equally to the topic of relationships - And while we can feel on top of the world and untouchable when we are in a good one, when they end, our world can seemingly fall apart. And when it does, this book is the perfect friend to counsel and guide you through that difficult time. If you are tired of words and are ready to have an experience, with gentle guidance, then look no further. Find peace and glue for your broken heart. The most important thing to remember: Be present and appreciate the experience.

Although I am in a committed marriage, I found Randy's book full of insight into relationships with good advice for everyone whether in a relationship or not. The book is well written, easy to read and it feels as though you are having a conversation with a good friend instead of reading a self help book.
