Hidden Wonders of the Human Heart: How to See Through your Sorrow
About this ebook
The cultivation of insight has never been more urgent. We live in a world awash with glances, swipes and clicks. The intimate truth of our hearts is increasingly veiled behind categories and labels that merely codify how we feel. If we are to appreciate the wonders at play in the depths of our human nature, we need to learn how to see ourselves through a more creative vision.
Weaving compelling storytelling with insight from poets, artists and musicians, Hidden Wonders of the Human Heart takes its place alongside popular nonfiction titles that explore how we can enrich everyday experience, by listening, feeling and seeing more deeply.
