Facing the Lion, Being the Lion by Mark Nepo
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF AWAKENING Mark Nepo is a beloved teacher, poet, and storyteller, and the author of the bestseller The Book of Awakening. In his latest book he invites us to live from our inner core in ways small and large, every day. That is all we can do in life, and all we need for our lives to bear witness and contribute, to make the world a better place.

Mark Nepo gives us all of that in this poetic, profoundly thoughtful rumination on how we might live. --Howard Zinn Reading Finding Inner Courage made me stronger, clearer, and more honest with myself.
