Publisher's summary

From the mountains of Connemara to friendly pub conversations, John O’Donohue had the ability to make the most numinous questions personal. Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for the Modern World tells that even though this beloved poet and philosopher is no longer among us, his words still breathe with vibrant life.Including a foreword written by Krista Tippett and narration by John’s brother Pat O’Donohue, this unabridged audiobook presents a collection of new teachings. Based on conversations over years with Irish broadcaster John Quinn, these selections include thoughts on the gifts of aging, our fascinating relationship with memory, and why we need not fear death.

  • Why the insights of mystics like Meister Eckhart are more relevant than ever in a world prioritizing image over substance
  • Contemplation of nature, its landscapes, and our intertwined relationship with both
  • A reading of one of the special dawn Easter masses given by John at Corcomroe Abbey in his beloved Co. Clare, Ireland
  • Poems and blessings in celebration of the ache of absence, imagination, and the turning of the seasons
  • Life’s hidden narratives - whether in the history of mountains or your inner world

Remember our infinite possibilities

I love all of John O'Donohue's works. His method of helping all of us to see beyond what the tangible and socio economic world tells us is real makes my heart sing.

Walking in Wonder is exceptional

What an amazing production about an extraordinary individual. As he has said words are a living vehicle, and these words, narration and content prove his observation. As an artist, I have been carving time, motion and color for forty years...John O’Donohue’s words, his deep insights are masterpieces without question.

Exactly the right book at exactly the right time.

This book offers a rare alchemy of insights from across time and distance from many great voyagers of thought and spirit. If life has lulled you into the mundane and meaningless, here is a reminder of the wonder and depth of your own existence.

Pick it up every day and read a passage to get through the Day.

I’m not a Believer but I have no problem drawing on O’Donohue’s Reflections on Life and the Wisdom this book offers. His Brother has done a beautiful job of condensing John’s Poetry, Blessings and wide-ranging Influences into a work accessible to anyone of any age.

I would treat it the way Evangelicals read passages from their Bible, except that it’s much better written and more useful in navigating the Realities of Life on this Planet.

This is a Five Star Book if there ever was one. *****
