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

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Well worth listening to

I am a fan of JohnO’Donoghue’s work. I appreciate what he has to say, it helps me understand what life is about in a helpful way. I was slow to buy this book because it wasn’t all written by him. Perverted the integrity with this was put together was impressive, in addition to finding more areas of John’s wisdom, I got a picture of the author from a different perspective.

I was carried by the surprise of its own unfolding

A collection of thoughts, ideas and aspirations generated within a heart of vision and purity. I am inspired and filled with courage and joy. A soulful book to cherish.

Amazing

John is a legend and his brother's voice deep, soothing and easy to ingest. Like a clear sunray taken in by a body cold and in need of warmth.

Great listen

John O'Donohue's work, whether poetry, books or in this case, radio talks and sermons, is always amazing. His insights are profound, his world view thought provoking and inspirational, and his theology gentle and very, very beautiful.
Pat O'Donohue's narration is fantastic - I love the connection he obviously has with John O'Donohue's work.

This audio book speaks to your Soul! Simply a masterpiece!

A beautifully narrated book that genuinely speaks directly to your soul.
Deeply sensitive and thought provoking, highlighting a fast changing world that is out of sync with Nature. This book gently stirs deep seated memories that we are born from the earth and forever connected to it.
