I used to "sleepwalk", but then I awoke through a series of random (but destined) events.
Someone I just happened to meet told me about the Law of Attraction, which led me to deeper spiritual beliefs regarding self-determination and self-actualization, mostly in line with strains of eastern spiritual philosophy (some Hinduism, some Buddhism).
One book that made a very big difference for me though was
"The Power of Now". It teaches you to be fully "present" in every moment, and live life consciously and in control, as opposed to the autopilot nature society trains us to operate in.

I used to feel like I was sleepwalking, especially in my first year of college, taking classes in a major I didn't enjoy. I feel much better where I am now
