The Path to Love: Renewing the Power of Spirit in Your Life (Signed!) [B1694]

1997 signed HCDJ in nice clean condition. A remarkable fusion of Eastern wisdom and Western practicality that offers strategies for clearing away the obstacles to love your life, for restoring the boundless soul of love, and for finding romance that will last a lifetime. Drawing on the Vedic texts of India and other great wisdom traditions, Dr. Deepak Chopra describes the seven stages of love, beginning and culminating in ecstasy. At each stage we hear stories like those of Clare, who only falls in love with unattainable men; of Frankie and Della, whose eight-year-old marriage has become a battleground of distrust; and of Gail and Jarrett, who near retirement without understanding how they will fit together into their new lives. As we see these couples overcome their obstacles, and as we work through a series of specific exercises, we anchor these lessons in our own experience.

We all know the only way to enjoy the ecstasy of true romance for a lifetime is first to discover love within ourselves, but this task has often proved too difficult. Until now. In The Path to Love, you will find an astonishing blueprint to the uncharted territory of your own heart. First, Dr. Chopra orients us with timeless wisdom and contemporary real-life examples, then guides us step by step on the path to love. And once we discover the love inside ourselves, we start to see it everywhere-in lovers, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends-until our own lives become self-sustaining acts of passion, romantic and fulling and miraculous.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Inspiring, motivating, spiritual and self-finding! The true definition of love is that it starts with Self. For religious and non-believers. Highly recommended. Read with an open mind and most importantly an open heart"; "Short, consumable, pop psychology. If you're someone who is seeking a deeper connection with your partner, or simply trying to improve your outlook on life, this is the book you're looking for. The book was recommended to me by my therapist, and I'm glad she did. I found the surrendering and letting go sections of this book to be some of the most relatable passages I've encountered in a long time. I ended up sticky noting a few passages and sections so that I can come back to this over time. Some of the more hand wavy stuff didn't quite land with me. However, this is par for the course and I rarely read something like this that I entirely agree with. I simply take was works for me and leave the rest."; "This book has the best meditation exercises where you learn to let go of your anger, hate, and fear. There are also lessons and advice on cleaning your heart chakra to allow unconditional love and happiness to seep in. Deepak Copra uses a blend of ancient wisdom and modern insight from case studies to show how you can heal yourself by letting go of anger and hate. Highly recommended."
