Mark Nepo: Age Like a Meteor

The Sounds True Podcast Network. So we all know that meteors may become brighter and brighter till there's nothing left but light. And what struck me is that this is a a wonderful metaphor for the journey of a spirit in a body on earth through a lifetime, that over a lifetime, while our outer casing flakes off, we get brighter and brighter. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is Mark Nepo.

I like to describe him as a poet philosopher. He is a beloved teacher and storyteller and friend to me and to many. Mark Nipo has published north of 25 books, including the number one New York Times bestseller, The Book of Awakening. Sounds True has had the honor of creating quite a lot of beautiful work with Mark, both in written form and in audio form. And I've had the honor of having him on Insights at the Edge several times in the past.

We've had conversations about becoming the poem. Today our conversation will be about his latest book on aging. It's called The Fifth Season, Creativity in the Second Half of Life. Friends, stay with us. It was about a decade ago when I first heard this teaching from the famous management philosopher, Peter Drucker.
