Creating a Life that Awakens and Feeds your Soul (feat. Mark Nepo)
Our soul’s journey is ultimately about awakening to our potential and authenticity. But that journey is not always easy. According to my guest, Mark Nepo, it’s a process that takes place through the labor of a lifetime as we develop into more fully realized beings.
And his new book, “The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters,” is a powerful guide that can assist us in our transformation.
Mark Nepo is a poet and philosopher who has taught in the fields of poetry and spirituality for over 40 years. A #1 New York Times bestselling author, he has published 22 books and his work has been translated into over 20 languages. Mark has been interviewed several times by Oprah Winfrey and was also chosen as one of OWN's SuperSoul 100, a group of inspired leaders using their gifts and voices to elevate humanity. In 2015, he was given a Life-Achievement Award by AgeNation.
In this interview, Mark and I discuss several themes from his book, including the role of courage, inspiration, creativity, and kindness in the evolution and elevation of our souls and how we can use it to experience the truth, harmony, and depth of life.
