8 Rules of Love

Most of us never receive lessons on how to love, so we pick up our ideas from films and pop culture and stumble through relationships as best we can. This guide tries to fix that by breaking love down into eight concrete rules, each with specific steps for building the skills to practise and nurture it. Drawing on ancient Vedic thinking alongside current research, the author explains how partners can win or lose together, what love really means, and why a breakup need not shatter your sense of self. The book follows the whole relationship cycle, from first dates and moving in together to ending things and starting again. It also shows readers how to recognise false promises and partners who cannot meet their needs, with the goal of loving yourself, your partner and the wider world more fully.
