Mark Nepo’s The Book
of Awakening is full of insight. He provides small doses of what really
matters, simple truths, and stories for everyday lives. There is an entry for
every day starting off with a quote and ending with a list of steps to
incorporate the day’s theme into your life. Many of Nepo’s entries are based on
his personal experiences. This creates an intimate environment which allows the
book to become your companion, as well as becoming a part of Nepo’s life.
Because of its daily format, it is a great holiday present for a loved one that
they can read next year, finding inspiration and wisdom every day. There is
also a subject index, so you can look at specific topics when you need a little
extra advice.
