How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful

How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving
- Great product!
"Most people think of love as a feeling," says David Richo, "but love is not so much a feeling as a way of being present." In this book, Richo offers a fresh perspective on love and relationshipsâ‚¬"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, How to Be an Adult in Relationships explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life:

Â Â Â 1.Â Attention to the present moment; observing, listening, and noticing all the feelings at play in our relationships.
Â Â Â 2.Â Acceptance of ourselves and others just as we are.
Â Â Â 3.Â Appreciation of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament.
Â Â Â 4.Â Affection shown through holding and touching in respectful ways.
Â Â Â 5.Â Allowing life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control.

When deeply understood and applied, these five simple conceptsâ‚¬"what Richo calls the five A'sâ‚¬"form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A's, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformation.
