The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo
A new edition of the #1 NYTÕs bestseller by Mark Nepo, who has been called Òone of the finest spiritual guides of our timeÓ and Òa consummate storyteller.Ó
Philosopher-poet and cancer survivor Mark Nepo opens a new season of freedom and joyÑan escape from deadening, asleep-at-the wheel samenessÑthat is both profound and clarifying.
His spiritual daybook is a summons to reclaim aliveness, liberate the self, take each day one at a time, and savor the beauty offered by life's unfolding. Reading his poetic prose is like being given second sight, exposing the reader to life's multiple dimensions, each one drawn with awe and affection.
The Book of Awakening is the result of NepoÕs journey of the soul and will inspire others to embark on their own. He speaks of spirit and friendship, urging readers to stay vital and in love with this life, no matter the hardships. Encompassing many traditions and voices, Nepo's words offer insight on pain, wonder, and love. Each entry is accompanied by an exercise that will surprise and delight the reader in its mind-waking ability.
