The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

by Mark Nepo

I have a friend who is a sage recommender of books. She introduced me to this book a few years ago. Each passage speaks to me personally. I often pull from this book for inspiration in sequencing my yoga classes and meditations. And though I’ve read many more books by Nepo since this introduction, I’m on my third read through of Awakening and it continues to give more each time through.

by Yung Pueblo

I first heard of this author during an “On Being” podcast interview. I was so taken by his presence that I immediately ordered two of his books. Book purists would anger at me for all of the many dog-eared pages in my copy. This book is a collection of prose and poems and profound thoughts that will resonate with your soul! Also, the best insight on “self-love.”
