How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes Other People) is a smart, hip
guide for spiritual seekers who want to experience more love and
stability in all forms of relationships. Told from the unique
vantage points of authors Meggan Watterson and Lodro Rinzler, this
book explores staying anchored in the foundation of self-love as
you navigate the natural (and often stormy) cycle of a
relationship. Their dual perspectives as teachers and scholars of
Christian mysticism and Buddhism make for a rich and fascinating
dialogue that covers everything from sex, self-worth, deep
friendships and falling in (and out of) love, to break-ups - and
how to maintain an open heart through it all. At its core, this
book is about learning to love yourself no matter what. Meggan and
Lodro suggest that you are worthy of love - both self-love and the
love of others. They aren't experts on how to get that person to
fall in love with you, nor are they experts on how to have 'the
perfect relationship'. They are spiritual teachers who know that
relationships have a life of their own, and can speak to the human
element of what it means to experience them fully. In the process,
they share deeply personal, revealing, honest anecdotes and
spiritual practices to assist you with the inevitable ebb and flow
of love in all its manifestations.
From the author of the best-selling "Buddha Walks into a Bar . .
.," tips for living with integrity, compassion, and happiness--from
his popular "Huffington Post" advice column.
Since the summer of 2010, young Buddhist teacher Lodro Rinzler has
been writing a popular advice column for the "Huffington Post" and
the Interdependence Project called "What Would Sid Do?" ("Sid"
being Lodro's nickname for Siddhartha Gautama--the prince who
became the Buddha). Lodro's insightful and often funny answers to
questions--ranging from how to forgive, to how to deal with a boss
who's a bully, to whether or not it's OK to join Match.com--have
made him the Dear Abby of the spiritual-but-not-religious crowd.
This book gathers all of Lodro's "Huffington Post" columns, along
with much as-yet-unpublished material, to provide a guide to life
in a Q&A format that allows you to easily access wisdom for
dealing with the myriad challenges of life--traditional challenges
as well as uniquely modern ones related to things like social
justice and social media.
This isn't your grandmother's book on meditation. It's about
integrating that "spiritual practice" thing into a life that
includes beer, sex, and a boss who doesn't understand you. It's
about making a difference in yourself and making a difference in
your world--whether you've got everything figured out yet or not.
Lodro Rinzler is a bright and funny young teacher with a knack for
showing how the Buddhist teachings can have a positive impact on
every little nook and cranny of your life--whether you're
interested in being a Buddhist or not.
Told from the alternating vantage points of authors Meggan
Watterson and Lodro Rinzler, How to Love Yourself (and Sometimes
Other People) reminds us that love isn't something we have to earn.
All of us are deeply and intrinsically worthy of love - not only
love we hope to receive from others, but the love we give to
ourselves - and this book offers the insight and practical tools we
need to stay firmly grounded in self-love as we ride out the
natural (and often stormy) cycles of relationships. Meggan and
Lodro's Unique perspectives as teachers and scholars of Christian
mysticism and Buddhism respectively make for a rich and lively
dialogue that draws on wisdom sources like the Gospel of Mary
Magdalene and the Four Noble Truths, along with funny, revealing
stories from their own love lives and their deep friendship with
each other. You'll find guidance for embracing single life, dating
with an open heart, and thriving in lasting love; meditations and
practices for calm abiding, 'disciplined hope,' and connecting to
the source of love within you; and tips on everything from sex,
self-worth, and nourishing friendships to navigating breakups and
learning to truly love yourself. Ultimately, you'll be able to see
your ideal partner in a new light - not as someone who 'completes'
you, but as someone who mirrors back to you your own wholeness.
'Meggan and Lodro offer the most treasured gift-a pathway to learn
to love yourself no matter what.' Gabrielle Bernstein, New York
Times best-selling author of Miracles Now
From the author of the best-selling "Buddha Walks into a Bar . .
.," wisdom for "Generation Next" on how to make your work
meaningful, satisfying, and of benefit to others.
The question "What do I want to do with my life?" is more
difficult to answer for today's twenty-somethings than it was for
their parents--not only do today's jobs look different, but career
paths are altogether less of a sure thing. It's in this modern
context that Lodro Rinzler provides Generation Y with wisdom for
approaching the whole issue of livelihood--not only how to find
work, but how to bring compassion and meaning into the job once
you've got it. It's wisdom from the Buddhist tradition that works
for anyone, presented with the clever humor that made Lodro's first
book so popular.
The book is divided into three parts: Part One focuses on deciding
what you want to do with your life, job-wise and otherwise; Part
Two explores how to be beneficial to others, beginning with those
at your office and moving out to the world at large; and Part Three
shows how to turn even the most difficult work situations into
opportunities for awakening.
Lodro has a gift for presenting the Buddhist teachings in a way
that's practical, funny, and entertaining, but the book is
ultimately quite serious: it's about using your livelihood to wake
up.
