Open Heart On/Of: OH, O LAB is more than a book — A book that folds love, intention with open heart and mind into everyday life, it’s a movement of healing, reflection, and love. "Open Heart On/Of" is an interactive journey that blends simple paper-folding with profound practice of intention and connection into a one-of-a-kind experience , inviting readers to create paper open hearts that embody both states of being open-hearted ("on") and giving from the heart ("of") as a response to our technology-driven world's need for genuine human connection. Open Heart On/Of shares that with intention, anything and everything is possible.
In a world both disrupted and awakening, where we face the most exciting, terrifying, hopeful, and despairing moment in human history, this book is a quiet invitation to return to what matters most.
In an age where technology grows faster than our ability to connect, Open Heart On/Of: OH, O Lab arrives as a gentle revolution—a book that asks us to fold love into the everyday. Author Joseph Darcourt, a Juilliard-trained cellist, neuroscience researcher at Columbia University, and founder of Olifeclass.org, introduces this debut not just as a book, but as a movement.
Part art book, part interactive journal, Open Heart On/Of invites readers of all ages to experience the transformational power of intention. Inspired by Joseph’s childhood introduction to origami and his mother’s creation of “Paper Open Heart ,” the book includes 59 sheets of origami paper and guided pages to craft hearts filled with handwritten messages. In every fold lies an invitation—to reconnect, to heal, and to offer love to the world.
