How to Love

Pocket-sized and illustrated, this book shows that when we feel closer to our loved ones, we are also more connected to the world as a whole. Nhat Hanh brings his signature clarity, compassion and humour to the thorny question of how to love and distils one of our strongest emotions down to four essentials: you can only love another when you feel true love for yourself; love is understanding; understanding brings compassion; and deep listening and loving speech are key ways of showing our love. This is a comprehensive guide to expanding our understanding and capacity for love, perfect for those brand new to meditation as well as those looking to deepen their spiritual practise.
