The Way of the Heart

A luminous and courageous meditation on how to live with authenticity in an age of confusion.

In The Way of the Heart, beloved Italian author Susanna Tamaro – known worldwide for Follow Your Heart – returns to the central theme that has defined her writing: the need to listen to our inner voice when the world around us grows noisy and hollow.

With her signature clarity and compassion, Tamaro explores the contradictions of our times — the relentless rush of progress that leaves us more anxious than fulfilled, the technological noise that drowns out our emotions, and the loss of empathy that has turned relationships into fleeting exchanges. Yet, rather than condemning the modern world, she offers a path toward healing: a return to the heart.

This is not a sentimental journey, but a spiritual and ethical awakening. Tamaro urges readers to rediscover the courage of simplicity, to nurture our capacity for silence and wonder, and to reclaim the inner compass that helps us distinguish what is true from what is merely convenient.

Through reflections that intertwine philosophy, faith, and personal experience, The Way of the Heart becomes a gentle but firm call to responsibility — toward ourselves, others, and the planet we share.

It’s a book to be read slowly, in quiet moments, and returned to whenever life feels disconnected. Because, as Tamaro reminds us, “only by following the way of the heart can we find our true home in the world.”

A timeless guide for those who feel lost in a fast, fragmented world — and who long to live more fully, deeply, and sincerely.
