Love thy neighbor. Lovingkindness. The love of the universe. From traditional religions to new spirituality, love is the foundation on which all practice rests. We all embrace the idea of love … and then we get on Facebook.

Whether divided by race, gender, sexual orientation, identity preference, or opinion, the incredible moral and social division in our world has become a source of pain and confusion for so many people. We know that love and unity are beautiful ideals, but the question remains: How do we get there?

In what may be his boldest and bravest book yet, bestselling author Matt Kahn teaches us how to remain aligned with our highest truths and values no matter what differences or challenges we face, so we may create an opportunity to heal the painful patterns that keep us small, stuck, and separate from each other.

Throughout the book, Kahn shares ten essential principles—mercy, worthiness, bravery, and more—that help us access the highest and most loving qualities within ourselves and others. Each chapter contains personal stories and real-world applications, guiding us to reach into our own hearts and give one another the respect, validation, and encouragement needed to make it through the evolutionary shifts before us. Shifts into greater unity, and greater love.
