Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

Oprah gave away copies of The Book of Awakening to her audience in her final "Favorite Things" (part 2) episode on November 22, 2010.

Cancer survivor, poet, and philosopher Mark Nepo has consciously allowed life to move through him. The Book of Awakening is the result of his journey of the soul and will inspire others to embark on their own.

Nepo 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.

Mark Nepo has written a beautiful book about life, informed by the shadows of death. I've been blessed and humbled by reading his words.

Mark Nepo is one of the finest spiritual guides of our time and The Book of Awakening is one of the finest fruits of his spirit.
