Publisher's Summary

What is love? Sharon Salzberg believes that love is a powerful healing force for us all and that modern associations with romance and adoration are limiting. By redefining love, she helps us to recognize our desire for happiness and enhance our connections with each other.

Real Love is a creative toolkit of mindfulness exercises and meditation techniques that can help you to truly engage with your present experience and create deeper love relationships - with yourself, your partner, friends and family, and life itself. The audiobook encourages us to strip away layers of negative habits and obstacles and to improve deeper connections, helping us to experience authentic love based on direct experience rather than preconceptions.

Captivating

I wasn’t sure if this was going to be for me. New to meditation and curious about love but currently single, I was afraid of pain resurfacing. Real love has opened me up to embrace love in a whole different way. To treasure what I have, and acknowledge what I don’t and to find love in the everyday interactions and moments I have. I feel like my soul has lifted and I will be reading this again and again and revisiting the meditations as I continue to experience life with its beautiful highs and lows.

one of the best spiritual books ever

I am surprised so few comments for such a wonderful book. just proves that so called bestsellers doesn't always guide well.

it's beautiful, in a quiet and meaningful way. it shows a potential way of living-without judgments, unnecessary suffering and with lots of love. the difference is that you are not doing it for any deity or other reason, but for yourself and the fellow human beings. Sharon gives plenty of examples of how it might work on real life so it's practical too. could not recommend higher
