In Unbinding the Heart, author, speaker, and Huffington Post
regular Agapi Stassinopoulos invites readers on an inspiring
journey of inner exploration to reconnect with their true
selves. 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
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 readers with the confidence to let go of the
beliefs that bind them and come to a deeper understanding of
life and love.
