Oprah and Mark Nepo: The Big C (7x8)

: 10, 2013

Oprah sits down with Mark Nepo, author, poet and teacher, at her home in Hawaii. During their discussion, Mark opens up about how battling cancer can be a catalyst for a spiritual awakening. Mark had just achieved his life's dream of becoming a published poet when he was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. While undergoing treatment, he embarked on a journey that would ultimately lead to his greatest life lessons. Now a two-time cancer survivor, Mark is the author of 14 books, including the New York Times best-seller The Book of Awakening, which made its way onto Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things list in 2010. Through writing and teaching, Mark remains devoted to the exploration of inner transformation and healing. Also, in a Super Soul Short update, wellness advocate Kris Carr reveals how a recent spiritual shift has changed the way she lives with—and beyond—cancer.
