"A powerful, potentially life-changing book" (Body & Soul) that reveals how to fall in love - and stay that way.
As a great teacher once said, "We never ask the meaning of life when we're in love." But the real question is . . . Why aren't we in love all the time? Now, 'Zen And The Art Of Falling In Love' answers that question.
Dr Brenda Shoshanna, practicing psychologist and a celebrated expert in Zen, teaches readers how to combine a psychological understanding of relationships with the principles of Zen, offering a completely new and different way of looking at love.
Each chapter in the book is structured around a specific Zen practice, giving readers thirteen steps they can easily take to learn how to reclaim love and their true selves. Some of those steps include:
- Taking Your Shoes Off (becoming available)
- Sitting On The Cushion (meeting yourself)
- Cooking (nourishing others and yourself)
- Meeting With The Master (dealing with moments of dramatic choice)
Readers will learn new means of dealing with the usual trouble spots of relationships, such as miscommunication, lies, betrayal, jealousies, insecurities, and disappointment. The book allows the reader to look at these issues through the eyes of Zen practice, and to receive instruction and perspectives that will change their entire life - and most importantly their love life - for all the years to come.
