"You Are Still Alive, Now Act Like It contains some of the most engaging stories I've read in spiritual nonfiction. As these engaging stories are consistent throughout the book and are complemented by intelligent and profound deductions, the book is deeply engaging from start to finish. Ray does not sugarcoat his words nor shy away from telling uncomfortable stories. Consequently, I felt confident about the sincerity and transparency of his messages."

“I’ve studied and written about the dark space between science and spirituality for years. I finally read one of the most compelling and elucidating personal stories of how the experience of a real human being casts light into these dark corridors. In a book titled You’re Still Alive, Now Act Like It, Ray Catania takes you on an exciting ride, and it’s damned hard to get off.”

"Author Ray Catania shares his journey of "inspiration, transformation and the pursuit of enlightenment" in the nonfictional work, The Atheist and the Afterlife-An Autobiography. He tells his story with honesty, with a gritty sense, but always based on Truth."

- Deborah Lloyd for Readers' Favorite

“What sets You Are Still Alive, Now Act Like It apart from other self-help books is its fearless and unapologetic approach. Catania doesn’t shy away from using profanity or delving into themes of violence and abuse. However, it’s precisely this edginess that gives the book its raw and impactful punch and makes it a standout in the genre. “

"I liked how Ray was articulate in describing the events that led to his change in beliefs to the universal collective consciousness structure. He was open and vulnerable-and vulnerability, in my opinion, is an authentic trigger for inspiration-in how he talked about the events he experienced, his moments of self-doubt, and eventually how he got to accept the reality of the laws of the universe."

"Catania's text is distinctive in many ways - notably, its focus on the evolution of one individual's spiritual and metaphysical beliefs. The author offers multiple straightforward steps for readers to implement, despite a fairly enigmatic topic. His recommendations are articulate and represent a strength for this text."

This is a practical and yet philosophical book enriched with real-life experiences and wit."

"This book shows the reality of awakening, which is not always smooth and pleasant, and can be full of doubt and disbelief. Ray walks us through his psyche as he navigates this opening of consciousness (or 'awareness') and offers details of this raw experience plus the scientific angle. And his theory of dark energy will certainly make you think."
