Description

The author says "Most people think of love as a feeling, but love is not so much a feeling as a way of being present". This book offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships, 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, it explores the five hallmarks of mindful loving: attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection and allowing.
