The book that change my life...

Sophie Cunningham

About 10 years ago, when I was 33 and had my heart broken (again) a friend lent me a book called A Path with Heart by Jack Kornfield.

I feared it was going to be a cheesy book along the lines of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus but it was much better than those and did, miraculously, change the way I approached relationships. And not just my romantic ones.

Kornfield, as it turns out, had been a Buddhist monk and was a trained psychologist. He had a great capacity to write about the kind of anxieties that tie people into knots with humour and intelligence. ‘
