How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People): Spiritual Advice for Modern Relationships

How to Love Yourself is one of the best books I've read on the topic of relationships. This book translates life-changing spiritual principles in a hip and relevant way. Meggan and Lodro offer the most treasured gift; a pathway to learn to love yourself no matter what. I recommend this book to anyone ready to give, receive, and embody love.

? This is a new kind of self-help book. There is no perfection and pontificating here--just the beautiful, messy, and wonderful truth about love, shared with great generosity. While both authors are deeply steeped in their mutual wisdom traditions, their greatest teachings are in the personal stories they share. No matter what is (or isn't) happening in your life, Lodro and Meggan help you to see that your whole life is your love life.
-- Susan Piver, New York Times best-selling author of The Wisdom of a Broken Heart and Start Here Now

How to Love Yourself is an illuminating look at love--a quality hard to figure out even as we are taught that it makes the world go 'round. The book is wise, useful, and also great fun to read. Lodro, from his long-term Buddhist practice, and Meggan, with her Christian mystic background, offer different ways of viewing love as the force that frees us to truly be ourselves, and be happy.
-- Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness

The great thing about Lodro and Meggan writing a book about love is that you get perspectives from both a down-to-earth Buddhist dude, and a hot female mystic--AND!--double the jokes and love stories. The result is a lot of truth and modern wisdom on how to expand your capacity to love--in suffering, in sex, in separation, in spirit, in your very real life that could always be filled with more love.
-- Danielle LaPorte, New York Times best-selling author of The Desire Map and The Fire Starter Sessions

I so wish I had read this book when I was 18 and just starting out in the dating world. It would have saved me a lot of trouble and a boatload of Kleenex. Meggan and Lodro are not only totally sane in their approach to relationships, they're also practical and hilarious. This page-turner will most assuredly crack you up, but more importantly, it will ease your path to finding the love of your life, whether that turns out to be someone else or the person staring back at you when you look in the mirror.
-- Kate Northrup, best-selling author of Money, A Love Story

How To Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People) is a manual that helps you dive deep into the cave of your own heart so you can become your own beloved. This step-by-step guide helps you crack open the most auspicious part of you so that you can walk safely in love. If you are ready to courageously leap out of fear and into unconditional love, this is the book for you.

How To Love Yourself (And Sometimes Other People) has real modern gems in it, and the down-to-earth and complementary voices of its authors, Meggan and Lodro--both young experts in their own spiritual fields--leaves you feeling like they are totally present with you as you read these pages. What really helps us to navigate love is a good conversation with trusted friends, friends who don't judge us, friends who actually know what they are talking about. Meggan and Lodro both show their ability to be those friends, to themselves, to each other, and to us as we read along.

Looking for love? Well, stop. Seriously, the search is over. Meggan and Lodro remind us that love is right here, within. There's nowhere we need to go or some better version of ourself we need to become. How To Love Yourself is that slap to the forehead that we all can use. This beautiful gem reminds us that we are love and therefore we don't need to wait for a partner to find love. We can get that party started right now--and then a partner can swing in and join us on this wild adventure of loving ourselves. No stress. No expectations. Just love.
