The Book of Awakening

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

De: Mark Nepo

Narrado por: Mark Nepo

The Book of Awakening, by poet and teacher Mark Nepo, provides small doses of what really matters, simple truths and stories from everyday lives, plus inspiration from the great wisdom traditions. Each day’s entry is accompanied by simple, yet profound, practices designed to help us live the life we want by being present to the life we have. For, in the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “You are that which you are seeking.”

A daily guide for authentic living in hard times, The Book of Awakening is a book to keep your head high, your heart open, and your feet on the ground. “It is true,” Nepo writes, “If you can’t see what you’re looking for, see what’s there. It is enough".

Daily Vitality

Mark Nepo has written a book that I have enjoyed every day for a year. The inspirations provided through his observations and meditations are timeless and timely. I plan on re-listening through the next year.

wonderful daily inspiration

I have used this book for my daily inspiration for several years and will continue that practice into the new year.

Can’t stop at just one day.

I’ve listened through this book at least seven times in the less than a year I’ve had it. When I start it I can never stop at just one teaching. The book is laid out as a once a day 2-4 minute reading. I’ve never once stopped at just one. Thi book alone has reduced how often I need anxiety medication.

A year of silent wonder

This has truly been one of God's tender mercies. It has been a morning companion that I did not realize had come to an end. Cannot stop now, so we continue together again each morning in 2023. To God be the glory!

A companion for life

I was gifted the paperback of this book many years ago. It has been wonderful to listen daily to this Audible version 🕉

Made my world richer

Mark Draws from the best literature and thought with wonderful use of language in deep exploration of becoming more alive and awake. I so much appreciate what I am learning from him on my cancer journey

amazing

hard at first but then It just clicked. I loved it.
it's very descriptive.

My morning companion

I've spent the past few months listening to 15 minutes of this book every morning during my meditation and it has irrevocably changed my life for the better.

Great Resource!

Touching! Glad to have taken the journey with Nepo. Will revisit again I’m certain. ❤️ Soulful
