Mark Nepo--the #1 New York Times bestselling author and popular
spiritual teacher--"has given us not only a much-needed message of hope
and inspiration, but a practical guide on how to build a better
tomorrow, together" (Arianna Huffington, founder of HuffPost). This
poignant and timely meditation on the importance of community,
demonstrates how we can live more enriching lives by cultivating
connectedness.
At once a moving meditation and an empowering guide, More Together Than
Alone is a compelling testament to the power of community and why it's
so essential in our lives, now more than ever. Mark Nepo draws from
historical events, spiritual leaders, and the natural world to show how,
in every generation, our tendency is to join together to accomplish our
greatest achievements, from creating education to providing clean
drinking water, and preserving the arts.
Nepo's historical snapshots, from ancient times to contemporary
examples, show how community creates a light in the darkest of times.
The book explores the heart of how we come together in varied and
beautiful ways, whether forming resistance groups during the Holocaust
or rebuilding after the nuclear devastation in Nagasaki. These inspiring
stories teach us that even in the bleakest days, we have the power to
create connections and draw strength from one another.
Featuring thought-provoking analysis and practical takeaways, More
Together Than Alone will help us inhabit a stronger sense of
togetherness where we live and in the world so we can achieve our
highest potential, as individuals, and as communities. "In an age of
racial divisions, school shootings, and international conflict, this
book's message about the necessity of coming together is timely, and its
examples of human compassion and unity are often comforting"
(Publishers Weekly).
