Narrado por: Mark Nepo

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, “a consummate storyteller with a rare gift for making the invisible visible” (Publishers Weekly), this beautifully written spiritual memoir explores the endless ways we can listen for life’s deepest messages.

Mark Nepo moved and inspired millions of people with his #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Awakening, a spiritual day book. Now, in this new exploration of the human journey, Nepo inquires into the endless ways life asks us to listen. Having experienced hearing loss, Nepo affirms that listening is one of the most mysterious, luminous, and challenging art forms: “Whatever difficulty you face, there are time-tried ways you can listen your way through. Because listening is the doorway to everything that matters.” Weaving together memoir and meditation exercises, Nepo offers many ways to listen to life and live more fully. A moving exploration of self, our relationship to others, and the world around us, this remarkable guide unpacks the many ways we are called to redefine ourselves and to name what is meaningful as we face life’s challenges.

Great depth and inspiration!

As a cancer survivor myself, Mark Nepo‘s books have open me up to many dimensions of deeper living. This book is my favorite.

True North conversation

Real, honest, beautiful. The stepping down upon the Earth, and greater knowing, as if for the very first time but aided with a spiritual set of eyes that encourages me passed the dark passages of my life. That they are necessary. That light is found there. That it was in me all along.

Most of this beautiful conversation I have always felt but could never articulate it in such empathic, understanding, and concerning for the listener's ear. Mr. Nepo sounds like one of my favorite teachers, his confidence and belief in me, and what I can do for myself and the world, present in his every word built through his life experience.

I was sad to end such a beautiful conversation, to sit intently, and learn, and be moved. I am grateful, and yes, we will meet on another mountain top via some other trail, the way of yet another high pass!

Deep soul stirring wisdom

I highly recommend this book for anyone on a soulful journey through life. Nepo's poetic prose and soothing voice are like yoga for the spirit.

just wonderful! loved every single table topic!

Mark Nepo knows how to play with words and keep us engages at all times. the meditations were wonderful and the lessons unforgettable.

Just speed up the narration

After reading reviews I was concerned it would.be a hard listen. Just speed up narration to 1.20 and it will sound like normal speech.

Life Changing

In depth, honest, and full of wonder. The flow of the book made the reading light, but dense in the best ways possible. Will HIGHLY recommend to those searching for themselves.

Amazing book terrible chapter titles

This book is amazing. However, if you’re trying to search for anything navigating the 200+ chapters with no titles is a tad infuriating. I wish they would add the headers to the titles so it was more searchable.
