Product Description

The author says "Most people think of love as a feeling, but love is not so much a feeling as a way of being present". This book offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships, one that focuses not on finding an ideal mate, but on becoming a more loving and realistic person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, it explores the five hallmarks of mindful loving: attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection and allowing.

A book worth its weight in gold
I have read a few books about relationships already in an effort to improve my close personal relationships, and have certainly enjoyed many of them, especially the more practical ones, which give first aid help! but this has to be the best book that has yet fallen into my hands, with no exaggeration. It not only gives practical help, but it is a class in timeless wisdom based on the Christian and buddhistic teachings, without getting religious or esoteric, but nonetheless deeply spiritual, and associating all these valuable everlasting teachings with our daily predicaments, with practical examples and beautiful insights. It's also masterfully written. If you are in your search for spiritual growth and true maturity this book can be one of the best investments you can ever make. I can only thank David Richo through this review for having written such an inspiring book...you have instantly brought so much peace to my heart...Thanks
