OPEN HEART
In this book, Buddhist contemplative David Oromith distils the most resonant teachings into a pocket-sized companion for the everyday, pairing timeless Buddhist insight with real life. Guided by warmth, humour and the disarming honesty of someone who has walked the path with depression, anxiety and burnout, each reflection offers a clear step towards a calmer mind and an open heart.
