True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart by Thích Nhất Hạnh
informative
inspiring

4.5
My fourth read. Thich Nhat Hanh, the renowned Zen monk, offers timeless insight into the nature of real love. With simplicity, warmth, and directness, he explores the four key aspects of love as described in the Buddhist tradition: lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and freedom—explaining how to experience them in our day-to-day lives.
True Love also emphasizes that in order to love in a real way, we must first learn how to be fully present in our lives, and he offers simple techniques from the Buddhist tradition that anyone can use to establish the conditions of love.
I am biased in my review. Thich Nhat Hanh has always, to me, been a great teacher in Buddhist Dharma as well as one of the great teachers of all time in regards to learning how to be more compassionate and how to love oneself.
