<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A fresh perspective on the art of being alive and essential insight into how we can minimize what stands between us and an authentic experience of life, in the spirit of works by Deepak Chopra and Ram Dass</b> <p/><b>"Once again, Mark Nepo draws us to the heart of what matters. He illuminates love with the light of his own understanding."--Marianne Williamson</b> <p/>In these fast-paced times, the exquisite risk facing each of us every day is to slow down so that we may experience life rather than simply manage it. In <i>The Exquisite Risk</i>, 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. <p/>In rich, lyrical prose, Nepo shares his own spiritual path, including a battle with illness that helped him understand how daring to embrace all that life has to offer can bring us to a deeper appreciation of its meaning and beauty.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Once again, Mark Nepo draws us to the heart of what matters. He illuminates love with the light of his own understanding." --Marianne Williamson <p/>"<i>The Exquisite Risk</i> is a celebration of an honest life, lived on purpose. Mark Nepo's words, like water on a stone, gently but firmly score a path for us to follow, a path that leads us into the place of remembering what a life is for; an invitation to tell the truth, remain close to the earth, and love well. What, more than this, can we ever ask of a book as our companion?" --Wayne Muller, author of <i>Learning to Pray</i>, <i>Sabbath</i>, and <i>How, Then, Shall We Live?</i> <p/>"Every page of <i>The Exquisite Risk</i> 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 <i>A Hidden Wholeness</i>, <i>The Courage to Teach</i>, and<i> Let Your Life Speak</i> <p/>"An inspiration . . . <i>The Exquisite Risk</i> 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 <i>The Ignorant Perfection of Ordinary People</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark Nepo</b>, a member of Oprah's SuperSoul 100, is a poet and philosopher who has taught in the fields of poetry and spirituality for forty years.
