In his latest book, prolific author Nepo (Inside the Miracle) shares how to shape the life of the soul, and make sense of every pain, fear, and loss, as well as surprise, beauty, and wonder. Through thought-provoking stories and commentary, the author assists readers in discovering what can be accomplished, what will last, and how to be kind and useful. He asks readers to record their feelings and supplies topics for inspiration, which include the challenge of self-analysis.
VERDICT Nepo is one of the best in terms of relating to the desires of the soul and pinings of readers. No time will be wasted reading through his work.
