Unbinding The Heart
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.

The Greek Goddesses have inspired the female imagination for more than three thousand years. Representing aspects of the female psyche, these goddesses have touched the lives of countless women over time. The profound emotional experiences of womanhood -being a daughter, being a sister, becoming a wife, bearing a child, experiencing sexual passion, love, and jealousy- are as timeless as the myths themselves. Conversations with the Goddesses explores these ancient myths, revealing the personalities of seven female divinities -Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hera, Hestia and Persephone- to help women grow and understand their own emotional patterns, and to learn to balance and navigate the challenges of life.
