A guide to inner resilience from bestselling author Mark Nepo.
Every day, we must choose between surviving and thriving, managing risk
and enhancing it, opening ourselves or closing off. Bestselling author

fortitude while embracing the rhythm inherent to every stage of
life--falling down and getting up.
For anyone who has fallen down, this book offers a hand to help them
stand and make their way. This book explores how to enlarge your senses
when pain and fear make you feel small; how to become skilled in the
never-ending practice of course correcting and tuning as we go; and how
to embrace your own gifts and wisdom in meeting life.
