Story
Andy was born into a family with a loving mother and a violent father. His mother was his rock, his safe place, the person he cherished most. Soon after he graduated high school, she was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Plunged into a deep depression, he spent the next two decades running away from his pain. Eventually, his pain caught up with him. He was forced to confront it once and for all. What he discovered in his healing process is that suffering can be a profound source of guidance and comfort. For much of his life, sadness sabotaged and crippled him. But he learned to transform it into vulnerability and then action.

When Rabbi Naomi Levy came across a poignant letter by Einstein, it shook her to her core.

Levy wondered what had elicited such spiritual wisdom from a man of science. Thus began a three-year search into the mystery of Einstein's letter and into the mystery of the human soul.

Summary
In Unbinding the Heart, author, speaker, and Huffington Post regular Agapi Stassinopoulos brings you an unabridged reading of her inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with her true self - featuring a new guided meditation available only in this audiobook.
Born in Greece, a country that celebrates life, Agapi learned the essential truths of happiness through the examples of wisdom, caring, playfulness, and generosity she saw all around her, starting with her own mother. She came to realize that everyone is born with an open heart, but we quickly learn to put conditions on our happiness - comparing ourselves to others, casting judgment, doubting ourselves, allowing fear or entitlement or self-righteousness to take hold - and slowly our hearts begin to close. We isolate ourselves, feeling alone, disconnected, and unheard; and in doing so we immobilize our spirits, stifle our authentic expressions, and cut off our joy. As she went on, Agapi, like so many of us, came under the soul-constricting influences of the larger world.
In her struggle to find her place and her voice, trying to balance the acting career she dreamed of with the spiritual life she longed for, she discovered a path that was uniquely hers. Unbinding the Heart shows how she found her way home to herself. To conclude, Agapi offers you a guided meditation to connect with your "portable paradise" - an always-available inner sanctuary of peace, openness, and joy. In 32 personal, heartfelt stories full of insight and humor, Agapi takes us from her mother's bountiful kitchen, where the seeds of fearless living were planted, to the London classical stage to an epiphany on a New York City bus - and inspires us with the confidence to let go of the beliefs that bind us and come to a deeper understanding of life and love.

Thank you for your words of wisdom and passion
I was introduced to Agapi through audible’s free bedtime meditation. I found her voice soothing and positive about life. I connected with her so deeply that I wanted more. It led me to finding this book. God has a miraculous way of connecting you with what you need at the time your soul needs it. I found Agapi’s book inspiring , full of wisdom and inspirational. It goes back to the theory that it is not about the destination but the journey and what are all the wonderful gifts you are gaining along the way, and when the downs do occur - we need not let it overcome us but remember the value that the experiences brings to one’s self. Loved it and thank you Agapi for taking your time to share your amazing story. Blessings and Namaste❤️.

She is talented beyond words! Her work is uplifting, down to earth, and courageously self aware. Listening to her audio books is like sitting down for a diving deep conversation with a dear friend, about things that really matter. She is able to put my thoughts feelings and insights into words of beauty. I listen to her books many times over and always hear and learn something new.
