When you think about personal transformation, do you have a picture of who you want to become? Many of us unconsciously create an idealized image of our “awakened” selves—and in doing so, reveals David Whyte, we undermine both the work and reward of genuine transformation.

John O'Donohue was a one-of-a-kind force of nature: a genius with words, a brilliant thinker, and a professional excavator of the soul. In the course of his extraordinary life, this Irish poet and teacher touched the hearts of millions with his unique blend of philosophy, instruction, and spiritual insight.

From Nóirín Ní Riain and her two sons, a luminous collection of songs in celebration of hearth, home, and the Divine. "This music comes from the heart," says Nóirin, "like a secret shaft of light to shine upon you." A transcendent merging of familial voices that resonate here in every piece.
