Are you ready to break free from the emotional weight you've been carrying?
To stop pretending you're "fine" when you're barely holding it together?
This book is your call to riseâwith truth, not toughness.
âAuthentically Awakenedâ isnât just a bookâitâs a breakthrough.
Written for men who are done bottling it up, numbing out, or staying stuck in silent suffering, this guide offers a grounded, no-fluff path to deep emotional healing. If youâve ever been told to âman up,â pushed past your feelings, or felt like nobody really sees the pain behind your silenceâthis book is for you.
đ What Youâll Discover Inside:
- The Root of It All: Understand how childhood trauma shapes your emotions, relationships, and choicesâwithout you even realizing it.

- Generational Healing: Break the cycles passed down to youâand prevent passing them on.

Common Sense Factor is an education-first publishing initiative offering clear, practical guides that help people slow down, understand what matters, and make confident decisions in everyday life.
Peter Last is the founder of Common Sense Factor Book Publishing and the author behind the Common Sense Factor collection, including the Wisdom Chronicles and What To Do First guides. An author, health coach, and hypnotherapist, Peterâs work is rooted in lived experience rather than theory. His journey began through personal struggle, where he discovered that the most meaningful lessons often emerge not from perfection, but from the quiet, imperfect moments we tend to overlook. Peter believes that being human means being unfinishedâand that growth comes from awareness, not self-judgment. Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, his work encourages readers to see challenges as places where strength, clarity, and understanding can form. Rather than hiding flaws, Common Sense Factor invites people to learn from them. Across all of his booksâwhether focused on personal insight or practical responsibilities like home maintenanceâPeterâs mission remains the same: to make wisdom easy to understand, easy to apply, and grounded in common sense. These books are not about having all the answers; they are tools to help readers ask better questions, build confidence, and respond to life with steadiness and clarity. Peterâs guiding philosophy is simple: you donât need to be perfect to move forwardâyou just need to start. As he often says, âTake what resonates and leave the rest. Real wisdom begins when you discover what fits your path.â
