Celtic spirituality in conversation with everyday life

John O’Donohue brings Celtic spiritual thought to questions of friendship, belonging, solitude, creativity and the imagination. The book connects these subjects with relationships to other people, the natural world and the inner self, framing them as paths toward self-understanding and inner peace. This anniversary edition adds an introduction by Michael D. Higgins and an afterword by O’Donohue’s brother, Pat. Its blend of spiritual reflection and themes rooted in ordinary experience gives the collection a clear focus: how a sense of connection can shape the way we live with ourselves, one another and the landscapes around us.

Book overview

"In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, you will find John a "soul friend" on your own journey through life, offering support and solace, clarity, and consciousness--expanding narratives that invite you to experience relationships with people, nature, and even your inner world in new ways that nurture well-being and resilience in these challenging times." --Daniel J. Siegel, MD, Neuropsychiatrist and New York Times Bestselling Author

A special anniversary edition of the classic work of Celtic spirituality and spiritual growth by beloved poet and philosopher, John O'Donohue, with a new introduction by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, an afterword by the late author's brother, Pat O'Donohue.

In this revered work, John O'Donohue excavates themes of friendship, belonging, solitude, creativity and the imagination, among many others. Widely recognized for bringing Celtic spirituality into modern dialogue, his unique insights from the ancient world speak with urgency for our need to rediscover the thresholds of the soul and find inner peace.

With lyrical wisdom and fluency, O'Donohue encourages pathways of discovery to come home to the natural rhythm in ourselves in sacred connection with one another and the landscapes we inhabit. This timeless collection of Celtic wisdom nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit. It is "a book to read and reread forever." (Irish Times)
