Combining an artist’s sensitivity with Zen Buddhist wisdom, poet and teacher Brooke McNamara introduces the profound practice of “savoring” as a way to meet the breadth of human experience with tenderness, curiosity, and awe.

What if you could experience each moment—ordinary, beautiful, or difficult—with a sense of wonder? 

In The Taste of Wonder, poet and Zen teacher Brooke McNamara invites you to slow down, return to your senses, and reconnect with what matters most through the practice of savoring.  

Using stories, Zen teachings, and practices to awaken your senses and nourish your heart, you’ll learn how savoring can help you: 

  • Enjoy pleasure without attachment
  • Meet pain, injustice, loss, and uncertainty with compassion
  • Appreciate the gifts hidden in ordinary life
  • Reconnect with peace, gratitude, and aliveness
  • Let go gracefully
  • Bolster resilience, presence, and generosity 

For creative souls who long to feel more alive and connected, The Taste of Wonder offers a spiritually grounded alternative to a culture of distraction and endless striving. Appealing to readers of Ross Gay, Rebecca Solnit, Natalie Goldberg, and Mark Nepo, this book shows us a more intimate and compassionate way to live—one grounded in the present and open to wonder.
