"In Reduced to Joy, Mark Nepo has written a love letter that speaks directly to the heart of the reader. He writes from the wisdom of experience - of having journeyed through two cancers. He gets to the essence of happiness, touching readers with his poetic passages and personal AH-HA's. He reminds us that in stillness, in embracing the mystery of life and in embodying our birthright as mighty expressions of love, we are reduced to joy. "——Susyn Reeve, author of The Inspired Life: Unleashing Your Mind's Capacity for Joy
