Unbinding the Heart invites us on an inspiring journey of inner exploration to reconnect with our true selves. Born in Greece, a country that celebrates life, Agapi Stassinopoulos 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 we are all born with open hearts, but that 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 spirit, stifle our authentic expression, 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. 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.

Née en Grèce, dans ce pays qui célèbre la vie, l'auteur a appris les vérités essentielles à travers les exemples de sagesse, d'attention, de gaieté, et de générosité qu'elle a observés autour d'elle, en commençant par sa propre mère. Elle a pris conscience que nous naissons tous avec un cœur ouvert, mais que nous apprenons rapidement à poser des conditions à notre bonheur. Dans son cheminement à travers la vie, Agapi a subi les influences qui, provenant du monde qui nous entoure, restreignent l'âme. Dans sa lutte pour trouver sa place et sa voix, tentant d'équilibrer la carrière d'actrice dont elle rêvait avec la vie spirituelle à laquelle elle aspirait, elle a découvert une voix qui n'appartenait qu'à elle. ''Libérer le cœur'' montre comment elle a trouvé son chemin vers elle-même. Dans 32 histoires personnelles et sincères, remplies d'intuition et d'humour, Agapi nous transporte de la généreuse cuisine de sa mère, où les semences d'une vie sans peur ont été plantées, au théâtre classique de Londres, puis à une épiphanie dans un autobus de la ville de New York.
