Facing the Lion, Being the Lion

Finding Inner Courage Where It Lives

By Nepo, Mark

Publishers Summary:
A work from the heart that calls us to look within and grow. Facing the Lion, Being the Lion is work from the heart that helps us find our own courage and experience how connection to our own core connects us to all of humankind, as well as to nature and spirit itself. Nepo invites us to encounter the stories of ordinary people, political activists, artists, and spiritual teachers from all traditions--people who are summoning the best of who they are in all kinds of moments, great and small. This book empowers us to take those moments into our own hearts, to be inspired by them, to let them fill our lungs and circle our hearts, empowered to stand more firmly by our own core and a little taller in the world. "Pained by war and aware of injustice in the world, we are in need of wisdom, hope, encouragement. Mark Nepo gives us all of that in this poetic, profoundly thoughtful rumination on how we might live." --Howard Zinn "This is an invaluable book and resource for our changing times." --Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., cultural anthropologist and author of The Second Half of Life and The Four-Fold Way "Facing the Lion, Being the Lion . . . made me stronger, clearer and more honest with myself. It is the best kind of self-help book--an honest reflection of the human condition that teaches us how to move more deeply into life." --Robert Inchausti, author of Subversive Orthodoxy
