In The Exquisite Risk  poet and teacher Mark Nepo encourages readers to become quiet enough and open enough to listen to what truly mattersour own hearts  our loved ones  the wonders of naturein 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 The Struggle to Be Real  There Are Teachers Everywhere  The Rhythm of Kindness  and The Gift of Surprise  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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648053993525,"sku":"ByrdShop_1400051770","price":21.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781400051779.jpg?v=1781708118","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-exquisite-risk-daring-to-live-an-authentic-life-9781400051779","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
