The author of Eight Habits of Love, Rev. Ed Bacon, argues that Mark Nepo is a national treasure. The well-known spiritual teacher Nepo, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening, now creates a new soul-trip road map. “A powerful guide to being in the world without being overwhelmed by it,” it says.
Deeply moving tales and observations enable us to flourish and endure life’s challenges, according to Arianna Huffington. According to the Library Journal, “The One Life We’re Given shares how to shape the life of the soul and make sense of pain, fear, and loss, as well as surprise, beauty, and wonder.”
The One Life We’re Given validates our purpose by delving into the art of waking and stating that we are here to stay alive—not only to stay alive. According to Spirituality & Practice, “the wisdom contained within the gleaming pages of this holy book is another luminous gift from a gallant, grateful, and imaginative spiritual master.”

Review
Mark Nepo is a gem of our country. Mark is able to communicate the language of the soul because he possesses that unique and exquisite consciousness. In addition to making our lives more beautiful, the words and energy emanating from his heart also heal us. — All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena’s rector and author of 8 Habits of Love, Rev. Ed Bacon
“This book is a potent manual for living in the world without surrendering to it. We may thrive inside and endure life’s challenges with the support of Nepo’s deep and moving tales and observations. — The author of The Sleep Revolution, Arianna Huffington
“With a lantern in hand, Mark Nepo illuminates his path as he navigates this perplexing and occasionally gloomy environment. In situations when we would have thought there was no possibility of a road, his voice helps us discover one.
In addition to being brave and intelligent, he is also incredibly kind because he knows that the most courageous act of wisdom is compassion. With complete confidence, I would follow this guy wherever his words led us.
The author of Eat, Pray, Love, and Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert
“Nepo explains how to mould the soul’s life and make meaning of everything that is unexpected, beautiful, and amazing, as well as all of the suffering, fear, and loss. Through provocative narratives and analysis, the author helps readers understand what is possible, what endures, and how to be helpful and kind.

In addition to offering ideas for inspiration, such as the difficulty of self-analysis, he requests that readers write down their emotions. In terms of connecting with readers’ innermost needs and longings, Nepo is among the finest. Reading his work will not be a waste of time.” The Library Journal
Summary
My favourite Mark book. I’m drawn in by his vivid allegorical story. To truly grasp, I sometimes have to read anything more than twice. However, it is worthwhile. He does go to the extreme, which is not something I often encounter. Being able to attend his on-site programs is my ambition and my objective. Anyone who would listen should check out this gem!
