Guest of your Show: Mark Susnow, author of the Soul of Uncertainty—a Fable for our Times
From the Soul of Uncertainty
More than ever we live in a time of uncertainty. The edge of uncertainty that each of us feels on a daily basis, pervades everything we do, and keeps many of us up late at night. How we come to terms with this uncertainty is our biggest challenge and determines our experience of life.
Rather than another “how to” book, Mark Susnow, life coach and strategist and thought leader has woven a story inspired by many true events that have occurred in his life and the lives of many others who have graced his life. During the past decade many amazing people have invited him into their lives and shared with him their hopes, their concerns, and their dreams. If there has been a theme underlying their journey and his own, it is the challenge all of us face— to find peace in the midst of uncertainty.
About the Author Mark Susnow
Transitions—some bigger than others—have defined his life. The new millennium was the inspiration for perhaps his biggest transition, taking a giant leap of faith and saying goodbye to his successful career as a trial lawyer. Even though his career at times was covered by Rolling Stone Magazine, the New York Times and other major media outlets, he had reached the point when the yearning of his soul called out for more.
In some ways, the seeds for the next phase of his life had been planted many years before. In the early days as a trial lawyer, fighting for justice, he discovered that meditation and yoga helped him get through those dark stressful moments and gave him a competitive edge. When he was six years old, he discovered that playing music also gave him a sense of peace and comfort. For most of his life, playing music and taking time for daily meditation fed his soul.
Inspired by the vision of the new millennium, he answered the call of the yearning of his soul and began his quest. His family, which included three young children, totally supported his decision.
Since then, he has been a life coach and strategist, author, and sought after motivational speaker, sharing his inspirational messages with many others. In 2010, to much acclaim, his first book, Dancing on the River: Navigating Life’s Changes, was published.
Whether as a trial lawyer, band leader or solo artist, for most of his life, he has found himself in front of people sharing his message of personal and social change.
Some of the elements of his story have been integrated into The Soul of Uncertainty. But it is neither autobiography nor memoir. Instead, it is a powerful fable that has been inspired by many true events that have occurred in his life. Many of these events have been transformed into teachable moments and meaningful lessons.
About the Soul of Uncertainty
A young man just setting out in life encounters a mysterious modern day mystic, Mervin, and an ‘unexpected road trip of the soul’ begins. Mervin promises to help him tap into magical powers inside himself, to attain a sense of inner freedom, joy, and knowledge of his soul’s purpose. The Soul of Uncertainty, considered by many a fable for our times, explores the human experience of life in all of its ups and downs, forgettings and rememberings, on a journey of spiritual adventure.
