Praise for Living a Loved Life

“When we learn to love the life we are living, the joke is on us. We have been inhabitants of Paradise all along. Who knew? Modern neuroscience is catching on to the ancient wisdom that Dawna—and her preternaturally wise grandmother—transmit with such grace through luminous stories that ring the doorbell of the heart. When we savor what is and find possibility in life’s inevitable challenges, our nervous system is reprogrammed from self-protection to sweet connection with the astonishing miracle of life.”

—Joan Borysenko, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

“I love this book. After reading it, I’m inspired to be a grandfather but also an elder. I wish I had a chance to meet Dawna’s grandmother…but I think I already have…because, as Dawna wrote, ‘she passed into me.’ Now her grandmother has passed into me too, and I can use all the help I can get!”

—Al Carey, CEO emeritus of PepsiCo North America

and chairman of Unifi Inc.

“I’m sure I’m not alone in my life-long yearning for a gramma who was wise, taught me the most important life lessons, who adored me, and whose ‘believing eyes’ would bring forward my gifts for the world. Dawna Markova, in her touching book, Living a Loved Life, is kind enough to loan her exquisite grandmother to us to reaffirm that which is necessary for each of us to live life in its depth and fullness.”

—Linda Bloom, co-author of 101 Things I Wish I Knew

“Dawna Markova is one of the great wisdom teachers of our time. She touched countless lives with I Will Not Die an Unlived Life, and many more will be touched by Living a Loved Life. This beautifully written book was shaped by three questions: ‘How do I find a way to live a life I can love now? How do I help make it possible for those who will come after me to do the same? How do I re-collect the wisdom earned through my own and others’ challenges?’ I don’t know anyone who would not benefit from exploring those questions, especially in the company of a master mentor, a true companion on the journey toward the human possibility. That’s Dawna Markova, and this book is her gift to you and me.”

—Parker J. Palmer, author of On the Brink of Everything, Let Your Life Speak, Healing the Heart of Democracy, and The Courage to Teach
