Mark Nepo is a poet and philosopher who has taught in the fields of poetry and spirituality for over 30 years. Nepo is best known for his New York Times #1 bestseller The Book of Awakening. He has published 16 books and recorded six audio projects. As a cancer survivor, Nepo writes and teaches about the journey of inner transformation and the life of relationship.

Nepo has a doctorate in English. He taught for 18 years at the State University of New York. In his 30s he was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma, a struggle which helped to form his philosophy of experiencing life fully while staying in relationship to an unknowable future.

In 2010 Oprah Winfrey chose Nepo's Book of Awakening as one of her Ultimate Favorite Things for her farewell season, launching it to the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. Nepo has appeared several times with Oprah Winfrey on her Super Soul Sunday program on OWN TV. He was also interviewed by Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. Oprah has also written about Nepo twice in her O! magazine column, "What I Know for Sure" (most recently in April 2011). 

About Nepo's recent book "Inside the miracle":  
The heart of the cancer journey and its aftermath has greatly informed his work.  In 1994, Mark published and recorded a landmark book, Inside the Miracle, about the nature of suffering and resilience, which Publishers Weekly called one of the best audiotapes of the year.  The book had a greater reach than anyone imagined.  Sounds True is now publishing a new, expanded edition of Inside the Miracle, which gathers twenty-eight years of Mark's writing and teaching about suffering, healing, and wholeness, including: the original poems and prose from Inside the Miracle.

"One of the great transforming passages in my life was having cancer in my mid-thirties.  This experience unraveled the way I see the world and made me a student of all spiritual paths.  It's my hope that the trail of this lifetime conversation with suffering and care will open you to the fullness of your own humanity. "-Mark Nepo.

Teaching from Mark Nepo about healing, suffering and wholeness

In 1997, Jeff Olsen experienced a horrific automobile accident. The accident caused multiple life-threatening injuries, including crushing both his legs. He had 18 surgeries and spent six months in the hospital. His left leg was amputated above the knee. The most devastating outcome of the accident was the loss of his wife and youngest son, both killed instantly. Overwhelmed by the injuries his body suffered, Jeff had a profound near-death experience in which he met his wife on the other side, who told him he couldn’t stay and had to return. Having that glimpse into heaven gave him the courage he needed to carry on and care for his living son. He has since remarried and adopted two more sons. According to Jeff’s website, his greatest joy comes from being a husband and father. His mission is to assist people in consciously embracing who they are and the connection they share with others and the universe. Jeff has written two books: "I knew their hearts" and "Beyond Mile Marker 80: Choosing Joy After Tragic Loss".

Here you can find interviews and my personal blogs in English and Norwegian where I am raising questions about the big mysteries of life like where do we come from, why are we here and what is our purpose! 

I am a passionate seeker for the deeper meaning of life, this is why I started interviewing people whom I found had wisdom to share.
