The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Lifeby Mark Nepo
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In these fast-paced times, the exquisite risk facing each of us every day is to slow down and “still our own house” so that we may experience life rather than simply manage it. In The Exquisite Risk, poet and teacher Mark Nepo encourages readers to become quiet enough and open enough to listen to what truly matters—our own hearts, our loved ones, the wonders of nature—in order to live a life with nothing held back. In rich, lyrical prose, Nepo shares his own spiritual path, including a battle with illness that helped him understand how only by daring to embrace all that life has to offer can we come to a deeper appreciation of its meaning and beauty. In the spirit of works by Deepak Chopra and Ram Dass, The Exquisite Risk unfolds in chapters like “The Struggle to Be Real,” “There Are Teachers Everywhere,” “The Rhythm of Kindness,” and “The Gift of Surprise,” offering fresh perspective on the art of being alive and providing essential insight into how we can minimize what stands between us and our experience of life. From the Hardcover edition. Review:“Once again, Mark Nepo draws us to the heart of what matters. He illuminates love with the light of his own understanding.” Marianne Williamson Review:“Every page of The Exquisite Risk is alive with Mark’s compassion, rich with his soulfulness. If you are looking for one of those rare books that offer companionship on the journey, you will find none better than this.” —Parker J. Palmer, author of A Hidden Wholeness, The Courage to Teach, and Let Your Life Speak Review:“An inspiration . . . The Exquisite Risk affirms that there are essentially two responses to life—a risky opening up to love and a controlling move into success and isolation. The direct reporting of Mark Nepo’s epiphanies moves and flows in a wonderful sequencing of revelations that deepen and fill out as we read. . . . An exquisite gift.”Robert Inchausti, author of The Ignorant Perfection of Ordinary People From the Hardcover edition. Synopsis:From an award-winning poet and spiritual writer comes a beautifully written guide to the life that is meant to be lived--a life of risk, which opens us up to love. About the AuthorMark Nepo is a program officer and poet in residence at the Fetzer Institute and a teacher of poetry and spirituality, as well as a frequent guest speaker at seminars and workshops around the country.
