This book has been so helpful in my life. It keeps me grounded It inspires me to be better today than I was yesterday. Mark Nepo captures the essence of being alive in the present moment! Can you imagine a better way to spend your time than having an awakening?

His beautiful and creative prose
fills my soul with love, with wisdom, with purpose with experience and peace despite and amidst the amidst the chaos & drama of daily life! When I read the entry for each day, it feels as if I’ve taken a warm bath in calmnesss. I am prepared to face the challenges of what’s to come! I highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially to anyone who feels emotionally empty. It’s absolutely wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A mí me gusta, de vez en cuando, leer algún libro de meditación o temas parecidos. Cuando vi que la editorial anunciaba éste, decidí darle una oportunidad, aunque no había leído a Mark Nepo antes. Un libro para renacer cada día es una especie de diario, hay una entrada para cada día de año, donde el autor nos da una reflexión o un pensamiento sobre ese día y entonces nos pide que hagamos algún ejercicio, algo sencillo, que tenga que ver con lo que estamos leyendo en ese pensamiento.

No es un libro que tengas que seguir al pie de la letra, no es que te veas obligado a hacer tal o cual cosa ni a estar de acuerdo con el autor. Seguramente habrá días que te parezca que hacer eso es algo absurdo, puede que, al contrario, consideres que llevar a cabo tal ejercicio, te ayudará.

En lo personal, no me dediqué a leer las entradas de los días desde enero hasta hoy, lo que hice fue ir leyendo entradas al azar, de días anteriores a esta fecha, no quise buscar ningún día después, para darme la oportunidad de hacerlas en el momento que les correspondiera. Hice uno de los ejercicios, me “llamó la atención“, vamos a decir y decidí intentarlo. Lo más curioso es que no lo hice al momento de leer ese pasaje, fue ya en la noche, cuando estaba en la cama y no podía conciliar el sueño que de pronto recordé ese ejercicio en particular y pensé: ¿por qué no? Así que terminé haciéndolo. Me sentí bien, más que bien en realidad, después de haberlo llevado a cabo. Fue… liberador.

Un libro para renacer cada día no se ha vuelto mi libro de cabecera, sé que no leeré todos los días la entrada correspondiente, pero sé que cuando quiera encontrar algo especial para mí, abriré el libro en un día al azar, y me toparé con algo así: especial, tanto si lo llevo a cabo como si no, sé que en algún momento me servirá. Cuando menos lo espere.

I'm loving this book. The daily inspirations are simple and profound, and totally accessible to the average person. I find myself remembering the reading thoughout the day. It's the best book of daily inspirations I've ever had.

Beautiful!

365 dana u godini, za svaki dan jedna napisana glava knjige, jedna ispovijest, jedno raspoloženje, jedan misaoni proces, jedno osećanje, jedan citat, jedna mala vježba za razmišljanje, sve zajedno jedno ljudsko iskustvo podijeljeno sa svijetom. Hvala, Mark, na prelijepoj književnosti, na prijateljstvu na daljinu i na podsjetniku o divnim stvarima u životu. Vraćat ću se puno puta tvojoj knjizi.

Daily meditations and inspirational stories that started to get on my nerves after reading about 40 of them. Just not for me.

Reading this daily. Each reading gives such a window to a deeper, richer, examined life. Nepo is a gifted writer who has really taken this journey. Grateful for his insight which helps
Improve mine.

This book was giving to me upon my release from the hospital, was bedridden for months, the book really came in handy going through that and the chemo phases, definitely helped me through some trying times and just coping with what was going on.
And still read it from time to time.

I couldn’t finish this one, and I almost never abandon books.

I wanted to incorporate this book as part of my morning routine (meditate, read, stretch). I liked some of the quotes and a few of the messages, but the author lost me on most of the daily entries. The messaging was too abstract and “New Age-y,” and I realized that this does not serve me.

I’m going to replace this in my morning routine with an article of Mindful Magazine. I think I need to stick to evidence- based mindfulness texts and stay away from anything with too much woo.

Not my favorite style of book. Some interesting insightful sections, but too much daily boringness for me. This is more of a pick-up-randomly and read-just-a-bit type of book, not how I do my reading since this is a library book and had to be returned in 3 weeks. There is an entry for each day of the year, no chapters. The author rambles on and seems depressed. He starts with one observation, and wanders onto something unrelated. Not for me, yet it's highly recommended by Oprah and Amazon.

Here we have a list of random stories, each ending with a random list of "action points," not necessarily related to the story even remotely. Plus each chapter mentions "God this," or "God that," or "prayer."

Please don't waste your time on this Ridiculous Religious Collection of Randomness.

I was first introduced to Nepo by a dear friend, who would send me voice recordings of the daily excerpts and meditations contained in Nepo's "The Book of Awakening." I found the recordings so moving, so profoundly healing to my soul, that my friend surprised me with a copy of my own.

Nepo's words of wisdom, courage, and inspiration have become my favorite way to start my days.
