The Universal Heart : Bring out The best in Yourself and All Your Relationships

by Stephanie Dowrick

How you can make lasting change from within to create positive and loving relationships with family, friends, children, and colleagues using simple and fail-safe golden ""rules"" A life worth living is a life of love. The presence or absence of love makes the greatest difference to our happiness, our health, and wellbeing. Yet seeking love and sustaining it continues to disappoint many people. In this powerful and practical book, Stephanie Dowrick affirms our highest ideals and intentions. Better still, she shows us how possible it is to live them out. With the compassion and psychological depth that is the hallmark of her writing, she also explores the common pitfalls to love. Then, with persuasive wisdom, she helps us to transform them. What also makes this book exceptional is that the author shows us how to live more appreciatively across all our relationships, including with our own selves. Through her powers of storytelling, she demonstrates that anything worth discovering about love improves not one but every one of our connections. In a world where fears of not being or having enough dominate, she proves that love is ours to discover, to give, and to receive.

Overall I would highly recommend this book for people who want to,or continue to,learn the most simple lessons of living a wonderful, fulfilling life.

This came at the right time for me - quite a number of significant things in my life collided. Stephanie's wisdom, gentleness and understanding helped to create some calm and peace. I lent the book to someone else going through similar things - I never got it back, but I don't mind. I bought another without hesitation.

Found it difficult to sit and read it constantly - have given it back to the lender and will try again when I buy my own, as I do want to have it there to refer to from time to time....

I learned so much from this book about myself and my relationships… will be reading it again some time in the future.
