Mark Nepo

Mark Nepo, the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening, has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time,” “a consummate storyteller,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” In The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters (St. Martin’s Essentials, May 2020), his 22nd book , Mark explores our struggle to inhabit the soul on Earth through a messy human life, and how underneath our differences, we can be who we are everywhere and create a path to what matters. He suggests that after being born physically, we unfold within a second womb, meant to incubate our better angel. Our journey from innocence to experience is how we emerge from the second womb. This book delves into that process of transformation in its mystery, difficulty, and inevitability. Divided into four sections, The Book of Soul explores the passages we all face in moving through this experiential unfolding. It is designed to be entered a chapter each week over the course of a year, so readers can weave their inner reflection into their days.

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 "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
