About this listen

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".

This is a one day at a time meditation book, listening as an audiobook is just annoying. Nice writing but doesn’t work this way

Not a great format for audio

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I’m sure this book is full of good life lessons, but the syrupy narration and writing style is nauseating. I couldn’t make it past the first chapter.

So cheesy, syrupy, just ick

After listening to super soul conversations by Oprah and listening to her talk about this book, I now I’m understand why it’s on her top spiritual books list!

If you’re going through an awakening this is the book for you! It’s also a perfect reminder of the life that we have.

Everyone needs to listen to this audiobook!
