A special twenty-fifth anniversary audio edition of Celtic spirituality and mysticism by beloved poet and philosopher John O’Donohue includes a new introduction by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins; an afterword by the late author’s brother, Pat O’Donohue; and insightful material from O’Donohue’s circle of close friends.

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.

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 nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit.

Narrated by Pat O’Donohue

John O’Donahue’s Anam Cara is a message of tender love encouraging the reader to drop the confines of the outer world. He does this by sharing his sacred self through the lens of his Celtic spirituality.

Being of Irish heritage I felt so akin to his spiritual concepts about the whole person including rejecting shame about sensuality and taking the sacred approach of rejoicing in the gift of our divine bodies.

A lovely tapestry of grace woven with threads of tenderness, love, peace, honesty, and heart that comforts the human spirit through our journey in life and into the experience of death.

I had to accustom to the Irish brogue, but then enjoyed its quiet lilt.

Excerpts from Anam Cara were sent to me when my husband died. The words resonated and I sought to hear the whole work.

I have now been introduced to the masterful writer and expansive thinker that is John O’Donohue. I invite others to take the journey with Anam Cara, a book others point to as seminal to John O’Donohue’s thinking.

Good companion in sorrow and joy
