About this listen
Our bodies are mere outlines of a vast and complex interior world, a landscape of contradiction and immense mystery. This Celtic view of the human condition predates Christianity yet survives to this day as part of Ireland's unique spiritual tradition. In The Inner Landscape, poet and Catholic scholar John O'Donohue explores the themes of self-exile and hardship and the Celtic way of welcoming paradox and finding precious light in the darkest valleys of our inner terrain.
Instead of fearing the contradictions of the outer world, O'Donohue begins, the Celtic people welcomed them. They developed special blessings for times of suffering in the belief that hardship leads to a special insight or gift of the spirit. When you learn the Celtic "secret of equilibrium" - how to see every difficulty as a threshold of possibility - you renew your life with unending possibilities. Despite our vast technologies, O'Donohue says, our real knowledge is minimal. Only within "the inner landscape" with which we are each blessed can true knowing take place.

My most cherished book of all
I love this book more than all books I’ve read. I hold it so dear to my heart and listen to it again and again. John O’Donohue sets my soul free. I can’t hear his voice without smiling. I wish everyone would read THIS book about the grace of suffering, in particular. It actually made me finally understand the nature of suffering, my own and other people’s, and allowed me to feel grateful for it. I feel so blessed to have stumbled across a repeat of an old radio interview with John O’Donohue just a few years on the CBC. My life would be severely lacking without his insight.

The perfect antidote to suffering
This book saved my life. There was a period of several months when I listened to it morning, noon and night. I went to bed listening to it and started it again when I awoke. This book is like therapy that works on a deep soul level. A great gift for someone in pain.

Beautiful
Beautifully woven words of wisdom.
A reimagining of suffering from a truer, deeper, ancient place.
