When you explore the gap between truth and story, it becomes a doorway to personal freedom. Writing is an unsurpassed tool for illuminating the places where you’re stuck. The core of this teaching is simple. “When you tell the truth, your story changes. When your story changes, your life is transformed.”

Scientific studies have shown that a regular writing practice has the ability to improve physical, mental, and emotional health in dramatic ways. Writing to Awaken has helped thousands of people around the world to reach their creative and spiritual goals. No writing experience is necessary.

In Writing to Awaken, targeted, and revelatory questions explore your hidden narratives in order to gain an authentic understanding that can move you toward a more liberated, truthful life. Mark teaches that each of us has a personal myth constructed from the beliefs, experiences, and misperceptions of our lives. Learning that you are the storyteller, not the story, liberates the mind from its narrative ruts and connects you to a greater sense of purpose and well-being.

“Filled with powerful stories and revealing exercises, this book opens the craft of writing as a way to dive into the art of self-reflection. It will restore meaning and change your life.”
