“In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in a dark wood, where the true way was wholly lost.” When you find yourself suddenly without bearings, as Dante Alighieri voiced so well centuries ago, where will you look for guidance?

In The Three Marriages, David Whyte, the best-selling author, poet, and speaker, asks you to think about your significant relationship to your partner, your work and your inner self in a radically different way by drawing them into a mutually supportive conversation.

On When the Heart Breaks, David Whyte invites you to join him in an investigation of a question that rests at the center of human experience.

David Whyte is a poet and philosopher who believes in the power of a "beautiful question" amid the drama of work as well as the drama of life, and the ways the two overlap.
