    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, poet-philosopher Mark Nepo shares how we can have a direct connection to the attending guiding spirit within. Nepo helps us understand that the heart plays a central role in how our life-force manifests, and considers it one of our greatest resources as a conduit for our intuitive mind.  
Nepo gives us an analogy from India regarding how to meet fear and pain, which we often inflate, and provides a practical suggestion in “right-sizing” them. He suggests that we describe one, two or three reliable truths which are our personal foundation and which we can return to as we meet the challenges of daily life. He also writes about how the "net of relationship" distributes our suffering. 
Mark Nepo is the author of many audio learning projects and over 20 books including:Reduced To Joy (Cleis Press 2013)Seven Thousand Ways to Listen: Staying Close To What Is Sacred (Free Press 2012)The One Life We’re Given: Finding the Wisdom That Waits in Your heart (Atria Books 2016)More Together Than Alone: Discovering the Power and Spirit of Community in Our Lives and in the World (Atria Books 2018)Drinking from the River of Light: The Life of Expression (Sounds True 2019)The Book of Soul: 52 Paths to Living What Matters (St. Martin’s Essentials 2020)Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity (St. Martins’ Essentials 2022) Falling Down and Getting Up: Discovering Your Inner Resilience and Strength (St. Martins’ Essentials 2023)

    Bootstrapped - Liberating...

    An unsparing, incisive, yet ultimately hopeful look at how we can shed the American obsession with self-reliance that has made us less healthy, less secure, and less fulfilled  
The promise that you can “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” is central to the story of the American Dream. It’s the belief that if you work hard and rely on your own resources, you will eventually succeed. However, time and again we have seen how this foundational myth, with its emphasis on individual determination, brittle self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment, does not help us. Instead, as income inequality rises around us, we are left with shame and self-blame for our condition. 
Acclaimed journalist Alissa Quart argues that at the heart of our suffering is a do-it-yourself ethos, the misplaced belief in our own independence and the conviction that we must rely on ourselves alone. Looking at a range of delusions and half solutions—from “grit” to the false Horatio Alger story to the rise of GoFundMe—Quart reveals how we have been steered away from robust social programs that would address the root causes of our problems. Meanwhile, the responsibility for survival has been shifted onto the backs of ordinary people, burdening generations with debt instead of providing the social safety net we so desperately need. 
Insightful, sharply argued, and characterized by Quart’s lively writing and deep reporting, and for fans of Evicted and Nickel and Dimed, Bootstrapped is a powerful examination of what ails us at a societal level and a plan for how we can free ourselves from these self-defeating narratives.

    Offering both a framework and a set of practices that are grounded in different nonviolence traditions, Heart at the Center asks listeners to consider what a pedagogy of nonviolence looks like, sounds like, and feels like in the classroom. 
 
 
 
Written with warmth, expertise, and humility, Mike Tinoco invites us into his classroom, drawing on stories from his own life and powerful examples from civil rights movement leaders to explore questions such as: 
 
 
 
● How do we create classrooms and schools that are grounded in needs and match our vision for the kind of world we dream of? 
 
 
 
● How can we challenge conventional classroom management practices, welcome conflict, and nurture relationships with and amongst our students to foster positive peace? 
 
 
 
● How can we embed love in our curriculum and be inclusive of our students' lives, centering community, healing, and justice? 
 
 
 
● How can we slow down and take care of ourselves without compromising the urgency to fight for justice? 
 
 
 
Heart at the Center is a book for educators who believe that a different kind of classroom, a different kind of school, and a different kind of world are possible.
