In these talks John O'Donahue explores the inner landscape of the human soul. This highly educated poet/philosopher sheds light on our universal human condition moving beyond the psychological into the Spiritual. O'Donahue is a pioneer of the Sacred and will continue to be a friend to many. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Wisdom from the Celtic World gives you a way to open up your soul to the "invisible world" of the spirit. It's especially nice to listen to John O'Donohue's voice, which adds a lyrical quality to the words.

The insightful words of wisdom of John O'Donohue go right to the core of our very being, but in a way of pure love for life and the power of the unseen spiritual world that guides our souls. I originally thought that I had purchased the book version so when the audio disks came I was a little disappointed. If it was a mistake it was meant to be ! The three volumes included in this set should be recommended reading for anyone who is at a crossroads in their life and who are in search for hope and deeper meaning to what we are faced with on a daily basis. O'Donohue is a wonderful blessing and I am thankful he graced the world with his presence and his peace.
