Product Description
In this little treasure, 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. He 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.
Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, is an internationally known author, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Martin Luther King Jr.

For those who seek love and share love December 14, 2008
M. Hansen (Minneapolis)
We received this as a wedding gift and after reading it, I wished I would have had it with me all along my path to love. Like other works by Thich Nhat Hanh, it is a very approachable look into being mindful, this time about love: what to expect from love, where to seek love, what you have to offer love, and cherishing love for all the highs and lows. I also recommend his book "Peace is Every Step" for an approachable look at everyday mindfulness.
A Little Gem November 13, 2008
Cheryl D. (Portland, OR)
This is a short book about love, kindness and mindfulness by the eloquent Thich Nhat Hanh.
It teaches us how to open our hearts to our loved ones, friends, and even strangers. It is the perfect book to be inspired to give and receive true love.
I love his advise on opening up a dialog with a loved one by simply saying something to the effect of, "My love, I see you are suffering. When you suffer, I suffer. What can I do to help you not suffer?"
Highly recommended.

I truly loved this book, simplistically written and simply encouraging. Totally opened the doors for me on other books written by Thich Nhat Hahn.
I am sure you will enjoy this easy read!
Learning deeply about love August 10, 2008
Charlotta Lindahl (Sweden)
True love has learned me more about love in each chapter than any other book I have read.
Share it with the one you love and both of you can practice True love:)and your life will be happier and you'll understand mindfulness in a deeper way.
Amazingly practical and useful July 30, 2008
M. Bertini (Las Vegas, NV)
When settling in to read a book on love by a buddhist monk, I expected a fair amount of theory and not so much practical advice. I was wrong! In each chapter, the author first defines the components of true love. Then he gives readers solid, yet simple, steps to take to find/create that love. He even ties in references to Jesus to give the book even broader appeal to those not familiar with Buddhism. It's a great read, and much much much is packed into this relatively tiny book.
