Description
Sam Keen's To Love and Be Loved offers a fresh perspective on love, challenging common misconceptions about romance and intimacy. He presents 16 distinct elements of love, from attention to desire and sexuality, and explores how these can be cultivated in daily life.
The book combines stories, poems, and quotes with insights from modern psychology and spiritual tradition to examine the complexities of human love. Keen discusses the importance of both enjoyment and commitment, as well as the essential qualities of empathy and compassion.
A meditation on the relationship between love and spirituality concludes the book, inviting readers to experience their place in the universe through the eyes of love.
