## Description

desertcart.com: How to Love (Mindfulness Essentials): 9781937006884: Nhat Hanh, Thich, DeAntonis, Jason: Books

Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This is a beautiful third novella in the Mindfulness Essentials series, focusing on love and kindness. It can be read by anyone, you don’t need to have read any of the other books in the series. The book is made up of short, poetic chapters featuring teachings and insights by Thích Nhất Hạnh. At the end, it includes mindfulness practices and mantras. The relatable tone is easy to read and presented in an accessible, non-judgmental way. The principles offer guidance not only on romantic love, but also on platonic, familial and self-love. One of the key concepts explored throughout the book is the Four Elements of True Love: loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. This is a lovely, concise work that blends practical advice, like mindful breathing and compassionate listening, with deep philosophical insights about life and love. I really loved this simple, heartfelt little book, it’s something anyone can pick up and find something meaningful about love. Favorite Quotes: “The more you understand, the more you love; the more you love, the more you understand. They are two sides of one reality. The mind of love and the mind of understanding are the same.” “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” “Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love.”
Review: Beautiful Intentions with Room to Grow - I am not a self-help book type of person, and I used to take a weird kind of pride in that. But when my partner of 12 years left me last spring, it disrupted my life in ways I couldn't just shrug off. At a friend's recommendation, I bought this book with a big dose of skepticism. My first read through was fast - not because of the simplistic language and ideas, but because I was looking for the answers to my questions and solutions to my problems. On my second read, I slowed down and appreciated the surface messages and the beautiful language. I'm on my 10th or 11th read through this book, and often pick it up to read passages whenever I'm feeling down to spark good, healthy thinking (I'm so anti-self-help I still have an aversion to calling it "meditation"). But the book itself won't make you better: you have to put in the work and learn to be whole. The book is there to provide healthy relationship goals, but in the end, you always need to be responsible for your own happiness. If there are any shortcuts, I haven't found them yet. The author gives wonderful guidance and advice, and provides good descriptions of what a loving relationship should be. I don't agree 100% with everything in the book, but it's full of beautiful intentions and open-hearted encouragement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great teachings
*by O***Z on March 10, 2024*

I chose this rating because it is an easy read with meaningful teachings. I have been practicing some of the teachings for a week now and already feel better. More true to myself helping to be true to others. I would recommend this book to anyone who has room for improvement in their self being, which is most people!!
