More Together Than Alone: Discovering the Power and Spirit of Community in Our Lives and in the World
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).

Praise for this book
"More Together than Alone is a beautifully crafted message from the heart, a powerful cry that we are one, interconnected living community, stretching through time and space. Weaving together stories with profound reflections, this book strikes at the deepest need of our time. It is such a profound book, so many stories across millennia, so much on which to meditate deeply, that a few words of endorsement seem inadequate. Mark Nepo offers a vital message that belongs to all of our human history, but is especially needed at this moment in our shared destiny."
