In If It Hurts, It Isn't Love, author Chuck Spezzano finds truth in simple insights: What I think I need is what I am called to give. Depression is the fear that something new will leave me. When someone gets angry at me, there is a lesson for me to learn. Jealousy is a birthing place. These principles show how to look afresh at one's most important relationships, in a way that heals pain and brings love and forgiveness. After each principle, the author gives brief exercises that nudge readers further, prompting them to absorb the insights even more deeply.

He has helped thousands of people to transform their experience of love. "Love is the real work of your life," says Robert. "As you release the blocks to love you flourish even more in your relationships, work, and life." In Loveability, Robert weaves a beautiful mix of timeless principles and helpful practices about the nature of true love. With great intimacy and warmth, he shares stories, conversations, meditations, and poetry that have inspired him in his personal inquiry on love. Key themes include: • Your destiny is not just to find love; it is to be the most loving person you can be. • Self-love is how you are meant to feel about yourself. It is the key to loving others. • When you think something is missing in a relationship, it is probably you. • Forgiveness helps you to see that love has never hurt you; it is only your misperceptions of love that hurt. • The greatest influence you can have in any situation is to be the presence of love.

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible. Imagine for a moment what the world might look like if we as people of faith, morality, and conscience actually aspired to this mantra. What if we were fully burdened to create a world that was more loving and equitable than when we arrived? What if we invited one another to share in wide-open, fearless, spiritual communities truly marked by compassion and interdependence? What if we daily challenged ourselves to live a faith that simply made us better humans? John Pavlovitz explores how we can embody this kinder kind of spirituality where we humbly examine our belief system to understand how it might compel us to act in less-than-loving ways toward others. This simple phrase, "Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible," could help us practice what we preach by creating a world where: spiritual community provides a sense of belonging where all people are received as we are; the most important question we ask of a religious belief is not Is it true? but rather, is it helpful? it is morally impossible to pledge complete allegiance to both Jesus and America simultaneously; the way we treat others is the most tangible and meaningful expression of our belief system. In If God Is Love, Don't Be a Jerk, John Pavlovitz examines the bedrock ideas of our religion: the existence of hell, the utility of prayer, the way we treat LGBTQ people, the value of anger, and other doctrines to help all of us take a good, honest look at how the beliefs we hold can shape our relationships with God and our fellow humans—and to make sure that love has the last, loudest word.

We always try to understand our thoughts and emotions regarding the relationships we are involved in. And so many times … we fail in interpreting the meaning behind all what is going on. We simple don’t understand it. We believe it’s a love story … or even the love story of our lives …. or a very good friendship … but it always has an ugly end. And damn it … it was the perfect case scenario of a connection between 2 souls. The meaning of all what happened …. becomes a nonsense. Someone that used to be a good friend … or a soul mate if it’s about a love story … becomes the worst enemy you ever had. No one around … is understanding the meaning of all that. What looked like love between 2 souls … ended as a weird life lesson. So … should we say … it’s karmic?! It looked a story about love … but all became … a lesson offered by the karma. But why?! Why this life lesson?! Why couldn’t that love story or friendship continue?! Why such a beautiful connection … ended with a betrayal?! What is the message behind that nonsense?! Love and karma … somehow 2 contradictory directions that we could follow … but maybe having the same final destination. So … is it love?! Is it karmic?! Should we ask this question from the early beginning … or simple explore and enjoy that relationship till life will reveal us the real meaning?! Asking ourselves about the fact that it could look as great connection, but might be … just karmic … or be a karmic relationship looking as an amazing connection … should induce too many paranoia ideas from the early beginning and we will not let us follow the right steps for the story. So?! Should we let everything … just happen?! Too many questions … and maybe contradictory answers. Would help a lot to know the real meaning … and maybe we should explore all the connections we have with the people from the timeline of our lives. And the final question which comes in our mind is … if it is karmic …. how do we break this karmic chain?! Well … it starts with love … has a karmic end …. but …. It always needs to end … with love. It all becomes a cycle … the love-karmic cycle. The meaning?! Maybe … to understand the connections between everything it exists in this world … and the world itself. Love?! Karmic?! Or love-karmic?! I invite you in a journey of finding those answers. And i will not be so naive to tell you that we’ll come up with the absolute truth … but … Let’s do it … Let’s analyze … define all what is going on … and if it’s karmic … there is only one thing to do … metamorphose it into … into love again. I believe that karma is not a bitch … but a teacher, but also that love is everything … and the key to the Infinity.
