Description
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk offers a revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on ancient wisdom and new science. Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we’re often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until now. Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why you don’t break in a break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners. By living Jay Shetty’s eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.

Reading this book, you might not expect it, but you’ll fall in love with your LIFE again, as well as with your partner, your family, and and your opportunity to create more real and genuine relationships in this chaotic and distracted world., It’s weird to say this, but I love the structure, intention and what feels like emotional energy of this book. Starting with “Solitude” and moving through Compatibility, Healing, and Connection reminds us that love evolves and changes throughout our lives, to this day. I love the 8 Rules:, 1. Let Yourself Be Alone, 2. Don’t Ignore Your Karma, 3. Define Love Before You Think It, Feel It, or Say It, 4. Your Partner is Your Guru, 5. Purpose Comes First, 6. Win or Lose Together, 7. You Don’t Break in a Breakup, 8. Love Again and Again, The section on Healing is especially powerful., Each rule is actually profound when you read them, but Jay gives so many great examples you know how to be and what to DO and SAY in your real relationships after reading., Like Jay’s last book, this is practical but inspiring, elevated but relatable, hopeful but honest., I know Jay personally as a friend and he put so much heart and soul into this book, you really FEEL it. His humility, brilliance, and mindful approach to living shows up here just as you’d want in such a deeply personal topic., For those ready to reignite their relationships, this is for you., Brendon Burchard, author The Motivation Manifesto

Jay Shetty clearly and concisely breaks down what love is. Likely the most challenging emotion to define for us. Most importantly, he allows the reader or listener to discover what their definition of love means to them and challenges them to see what they carried from their childhood into their marriage., It’s part information, part exploration, and part coaching manual. Love is the foundation of what we all seek. He relates both ancient wisdom and scientific research and brings the reader opportunity for personal growth and insights., Whether single, married, partnered, or widowed, this book is for every person seeking deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships., I recommend listening as there is some excellent mindful meditation he walks you through. However, I purchased both, and I am glad I did. I am now working through some steps to heal myself in my relationship with love, myself, and all my relationships., Jay is on a mission to “Make wisdom go viral.” He believes wisdom is the fountain of positive strength, giving the courage to fight the darkness of selfish greed and ignorance and the power to choose love, compassion, and empathy., I am glad to be a part of that mission, and you can be too, start here. You’ll be happy you did.

As you start to read the book and start to understand what the author is saying you will feel a shift within yourself. I am only talking on my opinion on how I felt as i started to read. So much understanding and clarity comes with this book as well as some challenges that you may face in your life now and within yourself on a personally level. This book has reassured me that happiness has to come within before anything and love doesn’t just appear as it is in movies and on tv. There is nothing to dislike about this book so far. I will say hands down I have read “ Think like a monk” and that was a very good book and a eye opener into Jay Shetty life which made me shift my way of thinking much more. To say the less my husband was in the process of leaving to the army and we started to read “Think like a monk” and it set his mind to a complete focus as he left to boot camp and us seeing one another 8 months later. I will recommend both books!

I just entered the seventh decade of my life and this book came to me at the right moment as I am about to enter the 48th year of being married to my husband. It touched me at various levels. I am learning how to write a love letter to myself, to my husband and to the world; I am learning how to let go of those I love dearly; and most importantly, I am enjoying the process of redefining my purpose in life as I enter the Sanyasa stage of life. Thank You, Jay!
