It’s a small book with a chockful of wisdom- from mindfulness, to self-love, to managing relationships not only romantic ones but also work relationships. The focus is mainly on loving communication. I loved the teachings on the six mantras of loving speech:

  1. I am here for you.
  2. I know you are there, and I am very happy.
  3. I know you suffer, and that is why I am here for you.
  4. I suffer, please help.
  5. This is a happy moment.
  6. You are partly right.

A practical guide to communicating with yourself and others, this book is something you can easily read/listen to again.

This is a must read for all humans. I can already tell it’s something I’ll come back to time and time again. I bought a physical copy as well and can’t wait to read his other books. Everyone should learn these practices. Period.

As expected, TNH provided wonderful insight and guidances in how all of us can just take a few moments to consider how we interact in the world, and with humility, find a way to improve our communications and interactions. This book can be read, and reread.
