Anam ċara: Spiritual Wisdom from the Celtic World by John O'Donohue

jaredfields's review against another edition

1.0

I expected to learn a lot about the ancient Celtic tradition but instead learned about O'Donohue's new age thought and his favorite poets. It was only through sheer will that I finished the lectures. Should be titles Wisdom from Irish New Age Thought.

Reading this is like if an 18 year old who just took their first philosophy class got so high they blacked out and then wrote a journal entry

Will definitely return to these in the future. While I have a couple of O'Donohue's books hearing him adds a lot.
Formatted as lectures, so it's not always easy to track with where you are. That said, John's philosophical/poetic approach is best taken with time for reflection anyway...so I didn't mind.
Pairs well with early morning walks -- or Irish whiskey in the evening.

Many quotes, but this one will stick::
"You were born for life. You were born for eternal life. And you should really give yourself the gift of risking enjoying it."
