Synopsis

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, “a consummate storyteller with a rare gift for making the invisible visible” (Publishers Weekly), this beautifully written spiritual memoir explores the endless ways we can listen for life’s deepest messages.

Mark Nepo moved and inspired millions of people with his #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Awakening, a spiritual day book. Now, in this new exploration of the human journey, Nepo inquires into the endless ways life asks us to listen. Having experienced hearing loss, Nepo affirms that listening is one of the most mysterious, luminous, and challenging art forms: “Whatever difficulty you face, there are time-tried ways you can listen your way through. Because listening is the doorway to everything that matters.” Weaving together memoir and meditation exercises, Nepo offers many ways to listen to life and live more fully. A moving exploration of self, our relationship to others, and the world around us, this remarkable guide unpacks the many ways we are called to redefine ourselves and to name what is meaningful as we face life’s challenges.

Goodreads review by Cathy on July 20, 2020

I believe that different people respond to different teachers, and Mark Nepo is simply not my teacher. I didn't resonate with his writing. That's not to say it was bad, it just wasn't my style and thus I didn't get much out of this book.......more

Goodreads review by Matt on January 18, 2021

This was a fascinating book. I hadn't heard much beyond a recommendation, so I was surprised to find it to be more spiritual and theoretical than actionable advice.
