Synopsis

A powerful new audiobook of spiritual awakening from #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Nepo

In The Book of Soul, Mark Nepo, the bestselling author of The Book of Awakening, offers a powerful guide to inhabiting an authentic and wholehearted life. After we are physically born, we must be spiritually born a second time, a process that takes place through the labor of a lifetime as we develop into more fully realized beings. The Book of Soul delves into the spiritual alchemy of that transformation in all its mystery, difficulty, and inevitability.

The audiobook is divided into four sections that mark the passages we all face: enduring our Walk in the World, until we discover Our True Inheritance, which allows us to live in the open by Widening Our Circle, as we Help Each Other Stay Awake. The Book of Soul is a piercing guide, replete with beautiful truths and startling insight, that leads us deeply into the process of transformation.

Goodreads review by Colleen on June 13, 2020

I received a copy of this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I was incredibly underwhelmed by this book. The chapters are very short and are basically short vignettes of New Agey, pseudo-psychological strings of words that sound insightful but are really meaningless. Maybe these p......more

Goodreads review by Mairy on March 12, 2020

I am usually not a fan of self help books, but the title of this book appealed to me so I wanted to give it a try. It is divided into 4 parts. The first half of it was stunningly eye opening. I was connecting to many little little stories, quotes, ideas,.. one of the stories that stuck into my head......more

Goodreads review by Joan on May 04, 2020

Let me preface this review by stating that I am a long-time admirer of Mark Nepo. His book "Inside the Miracle" is virtually a Bible for me, and has brought me incredible solace in the wake of my father's death from Alzheimer's Disease. That is why it really pains me to say that The Book of Soul was......more

Quotes

"It's easy in these times to allow ourselves to slip into resignation, isolation, or despair. The Book of Soul is an antidote, a path that leads us back to our own wisdom and intuition and to the authentic truth of our souls."

—Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global and Founder, Huffington Post

"Mark Nepo has long been one of my favorite spiritual writers, and The Book of Soul is further proof why. It’s filled with breathtaking lines you’ll want to linger over, commit to memory, and carry with you. I recommend it for all of us wanting to stay connected to a deeper purpose as we rush through our days."
—Melinda Gates, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Moment of Lift

"In The Book of Soul, Mark Nepo reminds us how rare it is to be here at all and how precious, real, and raw our tether to this life and each other. The insights gathered here will help you negotiate the currents of life while resting in the barest of simplicities. This book will strengthen your soul."

—Joan Borysenko, author of The PlantPlus Diet Solution and Your Soul’s Compass

“Mark Nepo’s The Book of Soul is like finding manna in the desert. I began reading it and instantly got chills. And a profound sense of relief. No matter what is going on “outside” of us, our soul’s journey in this human body is the sweet honey that, when recognized, sustains us most reliably. Read this book and be refreshed.”
— Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times Bestselling author of The Wisdom of Menopause


"Mark Nepo has written another generous and valuable call to truth—at once, inspiring, enlightening, empowering, and humbling. His words and the spaces between them remind me to slow down, to explore the still unfinished and awkward places in my life, and to honor and surrender to what is sacred, pure, and often confounding but always true about being human. Nepo’s commitment to transform the tumble and grist of life into insights and understandings helps me improve my life."

—George Cappannelli, Co-Founder of AgeNation
