The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters

In The Book of Soul, Mark Nepo 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 book 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.

"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
