Book description
Editorial reviews
An essential set of tools and principles for healing your heart, finding love, and loving life.
Finding love can be hard. Being single can feel even harder. InLove Life, world-renowned coachand New York Times bestselling author Matthew Hussey provides a practical roadmap for letting go of past relationships, overcoming the fear of getting left behind, and finding the love we want.
Sometimes it feels like life and love are working against us. Just finding someone we like can be a struggle. Even when we do, we often find they're not ready, or they want different things. Then there's the internal fears and anxieties that lead us to self-sabotage--the ones that make us indulge the wrong behavior, hold back from expressing our needs for fear of losing someone, or overinvest in people and lose ourselves in the process. Love Life sheds light on these common patterns and how to overcome them, by showing us how to adopt new standards, elegantly communicate them, and develop the deepest levels of confidence that underpin them. Like many of us, Hussey has gone through major life changes over the past decade, and he opens up about his experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes.
Love Life is about doing love better. More than a book about romantic relationships, Love Life shows us how to take control of each of the major relationships in our lives: our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with life itself.
Our love lives have the power to elevate or eradicate the adjacent joy in our lives. Love Life sets you on the path to finding the love of your life, while deepening your love for life.
