About this listen
Falling Down and Getting Up is an invitation to view adversity from a new perspective. In this gentle, insightful guide, Mark Nepo helps listeners navigate the challenges of life by transforming their experience into a chance for deepening and renewal.
Each one of us is offered opportunities to choose between surviving and thriving, managing risk and enhancing risk, opening and closing, giving and receiving, living a balance between solitude and community. We can choose to enlarge our sense of things when pain and fear make us small. We can choose to delight in the never-ending practice of course-correcting and tuning as we go. Falling Down and Getting Up introduces listeners to their own gifts and wisdom, helping them explore the perennial practices and choice-points we all face in life.
Mark Nepo is a master teacher who has been convening circles and guiding retreats for fifty years all over the world. Beloved as a poet, teacher, and storyteller, he has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time,” “a consummate storyteller,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” Filled with humble insights and wise words, Falling Down and Getting Up will encourage and inspire listeners from every walk of life.

Story
As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?

In Areté, Brian Johnson integrates ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools to, as per the sub-title of the book, help you activate your Heroic potential and fulfill your destiny. If you asked the ancient stoic philosophers how to live a good life, they’d answer you in a single word: Areté. We translate Areté as “virtue” or “excellence” but the word has a deeper meaning—something closer to being your best self moment to moment to moment.

Both a personal and general meditation on identity and belonging, Daniel J. Siegel’s book combines personal reflections with scientific discussions of how the mind, brain, and our relationships shape who we are. Weaving the internal and external, the subjective and objective, IntraConnected reveals how our culture may give us a message of separation as a solo, isolated self, but a wider perspective unveils that who we are may be something more―broader than the brain, bigger even than the body―and fundamental to social systems and the natural world.

Critic reviews
"Drawn from Mark Nepo's many years of teaching, this book offers a transformative journey that helps us to connect with and explore the eternal part of ourselves—our spiritual nature, our essence. Falling down is part of the human journey, but Mark shows us how it can become a path of spiritual transformation. In this book, Mark unfolds the courage that can befriend us in learning the dance of falling down and getting up with grace."—Baptist de Pape, author of the book The Power of the Heart
"In Falling Down and Getting Up, Mark Nepo shares a lifetime of hard-earned wisdom through his moving, heart-warming vignettes that are like songs for the soul taking us home to ourselves. Like a jazz virtuoso, Mark weaves his poetry and teachings to move gently, yet persistently, into your blood and bones as he helps us move from the fear of pain and suffering to the rebirth of ever getting back up as we learn and grow together. I hope you will find a way to read this book slowly, deeply, and let it nourish you with its gentle, wise and heart-felt guidance." Michael Brant DeMaria, Ph.D., four-time Grammy nominated Recording Artist and author of When All Is Lost
“Once more, I’m inspired as Nepo hits the perfect note that is needed in these most challenging times. It’s easy to open one’s heart to his writings because he never lectures. Rather, he leads us with stories, poetry, metaphors, significant questions, and lessons he’s gleaned from the wisdom of authentic teachers. All this has a ring of deep truth. Nepo gives wind to our sails as we navigate the waters of falling down and getting up. I recommend this book with unreserved enthusiasm.”—Justine Willis Toms, co-founder and host of New Dimensions Radio and author of Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people—including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia—experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.

When we feel alone, cut off, or trapped, we can let those difficulties steer us onto a path toward an authentic, flourishing life—living in a way that allows us to find the wholeness that lies within. Even when we’re alone, a sense of community can accompany us through the stormy times. Our words, hearts, and actions can line up with a larger vision, rather than the smaller views our anxious, fearful thoughts arouse in us. To live in a less constricted way—Salzberg says we need to get real about what’s most important.

There, she met people at every point of the stress and trauma continuum. She saw devastation and stagnancy as much as she saw amazing resilience and growth. She asked herself: how do some people survive, even thrive, despite profound challenges? And how can we optimize the things we have control over, while buffering ourselves from stress?
