Publisher's Summary

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.

Yes!

It took me a while to get through but was well worth it. This is a book I will have to purchase and reread over and over again.

Not his best work

I’m a huge fan of think like a monk, but felt this book lacked substance.

sub par

This book is suited for teenagers or immature adults. Didn't get any value from this.

Basic

I absolutely love Jay Shetty and am a huge fan of his first book ‘Think Like A Monk’.

I felt this book lacked substance and organization and was curated for an immature audience.

There are far richer books on the subject of intimacy and relationships. Check out experts such as Terrance Real and his book ‘Us’ if you are seeking a deeper understanding of who you are in relationships and how/why you approach them the way you do.

Thank you

Makes a complex topic easy to understand and relate to. The multiple exercises are things to use, check in with regularly as a tool to gauge one’s own progress in life and love . This book helps to understand yourself better as a person for growth and to help make the world around us a better place with the tools necessary to work on our own self. To love ourselves first wholly. To accept the world as it is and regulate our own self accordingly. If you haven’t read it, I suggest you do !

As always, thank you Jay for helping to make the world a better place.

Audio quality is lacking:(

I’m super stoked to listen upon release today, but Mr. Shetty sounds like he’s in a closet doing this recording, staying hopeful but it sounds the same in Introduction and Chapter 1 so far

Why is this so painfully loud? I am going to try to get a refund. Save your credit and your ears.

Relationships = Growth

This book touches on almost everything we all needed to hear and reflect on. Very relationship focused but the tools in the book can be related to all relationships.

Insightful

I enjoyed listening to this for some helpful tools to improve my already strong marriage. Especially the chapter about conflict being crucial to growth but learning to “fight” in positive ways. Lots of great take aways for every stage of relationships and I will definitely revisit the meditations included.

Wish this Had a PDF - So much

This book is jam packed with meditations; great insights; good lessons and helpful stories. I think a PDF along with this book would be helpful. There are a lot of lessons here and a good mix of things, you will not be board.
