The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life
- The Exquisite Risk: Daring to Live an Authentic Life
In these fast-paced times, the exquisite risk facing each of us every day is to slow down and â€œstill our own houseâ€ so that we may experience life rather than simply manage it. In The Exquisite Risk, poet and teacher Mark Nepo encourages readers to become quiet enough and open enough to listen to what truly mattersâ€”our own hearts, our loved ones, the wonders of natureâ€”in order to live a life with nothing held back. In rich, lyrical prose, Nepo shares his own spiritual path, including a battle with illness that helped him understand how only by daring to embrace all that life has to offer can we come to a deeper appreciation of its meaning and beauty.

In the spirit of works by Deepak Chopra and Ram Dass, The Exquisite Risk unfolds in chapters like â€œThe Struggle to Be Real,â€ â€œThere Are Teachers Everywhere,â€ â€œThe Rhythm of Kindness,â€ and â€œThe Gift of Surprise,â€ offering fresh perspective on the art of being alive and providing essential insight into how we can minimize what stands between us and our experience of life.
