David Whyte's best-selling first volume of Consolations used everyday words to present us with a prism through which to better understand ourselves and the lives we walk through. At the request of readers globally, Whyte returns with fifty-two short, elegant meditations on a single word ranging from 'Anxiety' to 'Body', 'Freedom', 'Shame' and 'Moon'. He embraces their nuances, amplitudes and depths, and, in doing so, confronts realities that many of us would spend a lifetime trying to avoid.

In Consolations II, anxiety might be more mercifully understood as the preparation for being hurt, fixed beliefs are recognised as the very places where we do not wish to understand, guilt is a friend compassionately waiting for us to catch up and routine becomes a form of ritual and worship. Each piece in this life-affirming book is an invitation to slow down, shift our perspective and find comfort.

In this audiobook, Whyte explores the full constellation of human experience.

Reaching deep to define the words we have —to thier depths, where their rich meanings are much more the the word itself, to where we find ourselves at a loss for words but full of feeling.
Makes total sense? Yes? :)
