Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Nepo for a transformational conversation with Joel Fotinos on his new book, You Don't Have to Do It Alone: The Power of Friendship.

In this new book, Mark Nepo turns his attention to the value of community, offering another insightful and inspiring take on our shared human experience. You Don't Have to Do It Alone is an earnest exploration and joyous affirmation of one of the most important aspects of being human: friendship. Through examples from history, mythology, and his own life, he unravels the nuances of close companionships, and reveals how a true friend can be the key to our own vitality. Only in the presence of unconditional love can we feel safe enough to be who we truly are. Mark explores all that it takes to love another and be loved, ultimately showing that—despite what we’ve been taught—you don’t have to do it alone.

"Mark Nepo is more than simply brave and more than simply wise; he is deeply kind — because he understands that kindness is the most courageous act of wisdom there is. I can say with all certainty that I would follow this man anywhere his words want to take us."  ―Elizabeth Gilbert
