About this listen

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

Anam Cara holds the spontaneous beauty and magic of life, both spiritual and worldly. John O'Donohue speaks the wisdom of the infinite, and offers us a reason for each soul to be incarnated that is beyond simply unravelling the layers of past experience, and allows us all to contribute to the beauty of this existence as a true expression of the whole. It quenches the thirst of longing.

John O’Donohue has brought elements of myself back to life that I didn’t know were living in me. His words are a blessing. A channel to the divine. Beautifully narrated by his brother with such respect and heartfelt love.
