Soul Sustenance: The Power of the Heart

Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own.

It's not often that a book can really blend the spiritual and the scientific well. In The Power of the Heart, which will be published in early October, Baptist de Pape interviews eighteen notable personalities, including Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra, and Jane Goodall, who share personal stories and words of guidance. By allowing them to speak in their own words, in provides a rich representation of many traditions that have enabled discovery and love.

The book shows how the heart is more than the physical organ, but is really the spiritual and intangible center of who we are. Not only does the book include words of wisdom from amazing people, it also includes mindfulness exercises to help unlock the powers of the heart: intuition, gratitude, love, and forgiveness. It's a book that is appropriate for people of all spiritual backgrounds, and, like any book, will contain nuggets of wisdom, as well as tidbits that don't pertain to every reader. But on the whole, it's an inspiring book to read.
