"Natalie Goldberg is one of the world's most beloved writing teachers, a mentor who has inspired millions to take up the pen and write. Here, in The Great Spring, a collection of her best short essays on food, family, writing, painting, meditation, travel, love, loss, death and enlightenment, she follows her own sage counsel, writing her way toward an understanding of what it is to be fully alive."--Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being
"The Great Spring is a book about writing, about meditating, about traveling, about wondering and wandering, asking essential questions, searching for answers and yielding delightful and pertinent revelations. Only Natalie Goldberg can make this all come together with her patented clear and powerful prose."--Lee Gutkind, editor of Creative Nonfiction magazine
"Goldberg writes observantly, with a direct simplicity. She gently catches your eye while piercing the soul. To read her is to invite your own transformation."--Jonathan Odell, author of Miss Hazel and the Rosa Parks League
