In The Heart Aroused, David Whyte brings his unique perspective as poet and consultant to the workplace, showing readers how fulfilling work can be when they face their fears and follow their dreams. When Whyte walks into an organization, it is not just to advise and make recommendations. Instead, he clarifies our personal—and organizational—difficulties at work by placing them in the age-old context of poetry and story. Whether I was working with schools or businesses earlier in my career, this was an elegant, must-read book.
“The twenty-first century will be anything but business as usual. Institutions must now balance the need to make a living with the natural ability to change. They must also honor the souls of the individuals who work for them, and the great soul of the natural world from which they take their resources. This book looks at the link between should and creativity, success and failure, efficiency and malaise at work, and sets as its benchmark not the fiscal success, rather the journey and experience of the human spirit and its repressed but unflagging desire to find a home in the world.”
“Take any step toward our destiny through creative action, and we know intuitively that we are giving up whatever cover we had. The universe turns in our direction, realizing we are alive and about to make our mark. . . . Our of the silence the soul startles us by telling us we are safe—safe in our own experience. Our soul loves the journey. The textures of the path it has made through the journey by hazard or design are nourishing in and of themselves.”
