Some people look or act different. What about those that speak other languages or learn in a variety of ways? The Bully delights in taunting and putting others down, that is, until a frown makes him rethink his ways. After he seeks the guidance of a teacher, the Bully realizes that fighting is not the answer and that being rude is never okay. Through her, he learns the importance of kindness and what it truly means to learn to love. This book is a celebration of teachers who go above and beyond to promote acceptance. This book targets readers ages 4-8 and is a wonderful way to open meaningful dialogue about bullying.

Nobody thinks love unimportant, but we are not as clear as we should be about what love involves, and about what it is to learn to love. This book is primarily concerned with personal love between the sexes (or between members of the same sex). It is a mixture of analytic philosophy and depth-psychology, but free from jargon and technicality. Its main aim is to help us to understand the nature and value of love, and to grasp the difficulties we have to face when engaging with it.

Couples—discover how to navigate conflict and foster a more loving, trusting, satisfying relationship with this guide by two seasoned experts. What holds a couple together? Why are we afraid of intimacy? How can we keep our hearts open to one another in the midst of hurt and resentment? In this provocative book, Don and Martha Rosenthal, acclaimed workshop leaders and founders of The Heartwork Center, help couples move through conflict and difficulty toward the love and trust essential to satisfying relationships. Based on nearly two decades of highly successful couples workshops, as well as the Rosenthals’ own 35 years as committed partners, this book is a rare combination of timeless wisdom and practical guidance. Written in clear, accessible language, it offers workable strategies for listening to your partner with an open heart; asking for change; giving and receiving; dealing with anger; and releasing one’s own feelings of guilt, fear, and defensiveness. Yet it does all this with a spiritual depth that is both rare and compelling. By embracing as material the full range of our feelings, the messiness of our imperfections, it speaks compassionately to the human condition we all share. Learning to Love is a spiritual guide to relationship that truly works. Its unique strength lies in showing partners how to use their inevitable conflicts as the means to a deeper intimacy. And its fruits, to those willing to cultivate them, are the tools and resources that can make the sharing of unconditional love a daily reality. Praise for Learning to Love “[A] deeply insightful and inspiring guide to love. Highly recommended.” —Marianne Williamson

A highly-regarded spiritual teacher and interpreter of the Bhagavad Gita shows how love is a skill – one which we can all learn, and apply, to build lasting, loving relationships. A lasting, loving relationship comes high on the list of life goals for many of us – so why is it so hard to achieve? And where can we find help? Eknath Easwaran is a highly regarded, much-loved spiritual teacher and author who has guided thousands of readers over the decades. Love is a skill, he tells us, and one that – with some effort – we can all learn. With humor, wisdom, lived experience, and lots of compassion, he gives us practical insights and spiritual advice that anyone from any background can follow to find true love. This is the second of two short ebooks from Easwaran titled Learning to Love, and you can read them in any order. Here he draws on two sources of inspiration. One is the Bhagavad Gita, the Indian scripture for which he is a leading translator and interpreter. The other is Shakespeare’s famous sonnet on love, which he knew well as a Professor of English in India before coming to the US. He comments on it in the light of all our modern challenges and offers his own light-hearted update on the plot of Romeo and Juliet. But you don’t need to know anything about these sources to enjoy this little book. Download it, read it, and get to work learning to love.

An insightful guide for consciously bringing compassion and love into your life • Explores feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and past experiences that block us from loving and receiving love • Includes deceptively simple yet profound exercises, meditations, and visualizations to support the exploration of your inner world • Explains how these principles and techniques originated in Roberto Assagioli’s system of psychosynthesis, enriched by the Findhorn experience of living in community Every person is born with the capacity to love. Over time, however, many of us have built barriers within ourselves as a reaction to painful experiences, and following these, we often develop fears, beliefs, and behaviors that keep these barriers firmly in place. The primary lesson in life is to learn to love, and this starts right on our doorstep. Often it is self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness that hold us back from experiencing all the love around us. Only when we start to love and accept ourselves with all that we are can we love others freely and fully. Learning to love requires an intention to change and a willingness to take action. Once we understand how to work with our doubts and fears and learn how to change our beliefs and behavior, our barriers will melt away and we spontaneously open up to connect deeply and harmoniously with the full flow of the river of life. In this simple yet insightful guide, Eileen Caddy and David Earl Platts detail the down-to-earth practicalities of exploring feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and past experiences that block us from loving and from receiving love. They show how bringing more love into our lives is not a mystery but often a journey back to ourselves and our core values. The authors examine the feelings of acceptance, trust, forgiveness, respect, opening up, and taking risks, among others, within a framework of compassionate understanding and non-judgment. Deceptively simple yet profound exercises, meditations, and visualizations support the reader in examining their inner world and implementing these vital concepts into their lives. The teachings in the book are based on popular workshops that Eileen, co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation Community, and David facilitated for years in and outside Findhorn. Many of the underlying principles and techniques originate in the system of psychosynthesis, devised by Roberto Assagioli. Learning to Love invites you to make a free and informed choice to bring more love into your life, and then helps you implement this choice step-by-step with confidence and joy.

Dr. Schreiner's book, Learning to Love and Loving to Learn, is a breakthrough study dealing with relationships in the family, the immediate family, and the extended family. She teaches the need for a strong spiritual value system as the basis for learning to love and loving to learn. Dr. Schreiner touches on such subjects as appropriate discipline, positive encouragement, helping children to reach their full potential, and how to make learning an exciting adventure for all ages. She deals with relevant problems of the twenty-first century, including such issues as addictions, codependency, and the trap of instant gratification. She stresses the need for families to develop self-control and to set realistic limits. She teaches parents how to develop problem-solving skills in their children so they can live more effectively in our troubled times. The book opens the door for learning to be an exciting adventure as readers learn to love and to love learning. Spiritual growth comes from gaining new information and insight and using that knowledge in your everyday life. The author describes the spiritual principles that bring families closer as they learn about themselves and parents free themselves from effects of having been raised in an addictive, incestuous, or otherwise dysfunctional family. Examples of how children and adults of all ages learn are included in every chapter. The workbook, included at the end of the book, will help readers to identify the effects their parents' words and methods of disciplining and showing love has had on their own self-concept and automatic behaviors. Automatic behaviors are emotional and sometimes physical responses to situations and events that arise because the event unconsciously reminds the reader of a similar childhood happening. Sometimes automatic behaviors are positive and sometimes negative and unwanted. The workbook will help readers to look at and edit the source of their automatic behaviors thereby enabling them to change their undesirable responses.

In this new book, Martin Israel explores the question: How can we learn to obey the commandment to love our neighbor? Through powerful meditations on the nature and responsibilities of existence and love Israel shows to his readers some of paths for the "mystical walk" that ends in love. He writes:"One does not believe in God; one knows Him by experience, and that experience makes all life's vicissitudes worth while. For this end is glorious [and] as one grows so one's vision expands to include all humanity and ultimately all that lives."
