Self-Help Relationships
Love might not be what we think it is. We all seek the
happiness that comes from loving and being loved, yet we
often find ourselves dissatisfied in our relationships and
unable to grasp the cause. Thich Nhat Hanh here shows the
way to overcome our recurrent obstacles to love—by learning
to be mindful, open, and present with ourselves and others. As he explains, “training is needed in order to love
properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must
practice deep looking directed toward the person you love.
Because if you do not understand this person, you cannot
love properly. Understanding is the essence of love.” This quintessential guide to loving also introduces the four
key aspects of love described in the Buddhist
tradition—loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and freedom—and
describes many simple and direct ways in which we can
practice authentic love in our everyday lives.
