<p>Oprah Winfrey called Mark Nepo's <em>The Book of Awakening</em> (Conari Press, 2000) “an answer to a prayer” as she sought guidance in staying centered in life. Mark Nepo now presents <em>Staying Awake</em>, his first full-length audio learning course for remaining present, open, and committed to the full spectrum of experience this human incarnation offers. This three-part program blends poetry, spiritual insight, and reflections from Nepo's journey through cancer to illuminate the “way under the way”—or how to sense and inhabit the place of true meeting, how to make sense of our experience and the mystery of transformation, and how to give voice to our authenticity.</p>
