8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go

Ok so literally I finished this with 25 minutes to spare WINNING!
I liked this book- I read it knowing that it would be not the most page turning and it wasn’t because it was a self help book.
But I feel helped! Currently feeling on the precipice of change and although this was mainly written with romantic love in mind, all kinds of love come from the same foundation, so I think the advice in this book is applicable to familial and friend love as well.
This book is based a lot on Jays experience as a monk which was cool- especially the parts on self love/ solitude and loving your community and the world. The book was well written and I feel a new sense of confidence in my relationships.
He focuses on how a romantic relationship cannot be your purpose, growing together, and how to fight effectively which I liked.
The last part is about how the only way to truly experience love is to give it freely and to live with love which is also what the sermon at church yesterday was about AND what I’m trying to do for Lent (live with love/stop being as much of an aggressive hater)
So I liked that all of these things overlapped.
Also it’s a lot about expressing gratitude for the little things
Quote I liked:
“Solitude helps you realize that there is a you before, a you during, and a you after every relationship, forging your own way even when you have someone else”
Slay this was a lot feeling profound now EXCITED for a silly little romance novel
