FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF
THE BOOK OF AWAKENING
Mark Nepo is a beloved teacher, poet, and storyteller, and the author of the bestseller The Book of Awakening. In his latest book he invites us to live from our inner core in ways small and large, every day. That is all we can do in life, and all we need for our lives to bear witness and contribute, to make the world a better place. To listen to the stories in this book is to find our own place of courage and peace.
“Pained by war and aware of injustice in the world, we are in need of wisdom, hope, encouragement. Mark Nepo gives us all of that in this poetic, profoundly thoughtful rumination on how we might live.”
—Howard Zinn

"This is an easy book to love. Each chapter is a gentle urging to stretch, from the inside out, into a bolder, more dynamic, more present life. It's one of those books you can just leave around for a while, then pick up and read another chapter and come away inspired and thoughtful. "
— Corrina (5 out of 5 stars)
