As a poet, philosopher,
and cancer survivor, Mark Nepo has been breaking a path of spiritual inquiry
for more than thirty years. In his new book, the #1 New
York Times bestselling author
explores how the soul works in the world.
Called “one of the finest
spiritual guides of our time,” this beloved teacher explores what it means to
become our truest self through the ongoing and timeless journey of awakening to
the dynamic wholeness of life—which is messy and unpredictable.
Nepo navigates some of the
soul’s deepest and most ancient questions, such as: What does it mean to
inhabit the world? How do we stay vital and buoyant amid the storms of life?
What is the secret to coming alive? Nepo affirms that not only is the soul’s
journey inevitable, it is essential to our survival. The human journey is how
the force of life grows us. No matter where we go, we can’t escape this
foundational truth: What’s in the
way is the way. As Nepo writes,
“The point of experience is not to escape life but to live it.”
Featured on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday program,
Nepo’s Seven Thousand Ways to Listen has inspired
millions of people to redefine themselves in the face of life’s challenges.
Comforting, moving, and spiritually practical, The Endless Practice is
filled with universal insights and stories woven with guidance and practice that will bring the reader closer to living life to the fullest.

“In his deep understanding of our complicated lives, Mark Nepo says,
‘Love the task and work the light.’ I’ve done this ten thousand times as
the curtain lifted on stage, never thinking to try to live that way
after the curtain dropped, in my everyday life. It wasn’t until I fought
my addiction and won that I realized I was in my own way, and until I
put something else in front of me, the life I wanted wouldn’t show up.
And then one day, along with all the blessings I received, I picked up a
copy of The Book of Awakening. And fourteen years later, I’m on
my third copy, because as I read each day I underscore and leave my own
notes. But the journey ain’t over as Mark’s new book, The Endless Practice, is yet another candle to light our understanding along the spiritual path called Life.”
