  Written over twenty years ago, The Restless Heart was the product of a lonely young man searching for meaning to his feelings of emptiness and isolation. Powerful and autobiographical this new edition loses none of the passion and idealism of the younger writer. Indeed, Rolheiser comments in his Preface how timid we can become with maturity and how re-reading his early work he felt pride for his younger, braver self. Identifying different types of loneliness, the author reassures and challenges and frees the reader to live more meaningfully with solitude.
