How to Be an Adult in Love: Letting Love in Safely and Showing It Recklessly

We were made to love and be loved. Loving ourselves and others is in our genetic code. Itâ€™s nothing other than the purpose of our livesâ€”but knowing that doesnâ€™t make it easy to do. We may find it a challenge to love ourselves. We may have a hard time letting love in from others. Weâ€™re often afraid of getting hurt. It is also sometimes scary for us to share love with those around usâ€”and love that isn't shared leaves us feeling flat and unfulfilled.

David Richo provides the tools here for learning how to love in evolved adult waysâ€”beginning with getting past the barriers that keep us from loving ourselves, then showing how we can learn to open to love others. He provides wisdom from Buddhism, psychology, and a range of spiritual traditions, along with a wealth of practices both for avoiding the pitfalls that can occur in love relationships and for enhancing the way love shows up in our lives. He then leads us on to loveâ€™s inevitable outcome: developing a heart that loves universally and indiscriminately. This transcendent and unconditional love isnâ€™t just for a heroic few, Dave shows, itâ€™s everyoneâ€™s magnificent calling.
