In her highly anticipated new book, How to Be Loving, Danielle LaPorte teaches that 'resiliency is our capacity to respond from the heart--it has everything to do with love and inclusiveness, and nothing to do with getting tougher. Resilience is a foil to the ego's way of dividing everything into 'right or wrong.'' This journal is a resilience tool. Yearly vision quests are great, but regular reflection keeps us close to our life force--and to each other. And the more often we reflect on what's meaningful in our life, the more light we will find to steer by. Every passage in this journal feels like a portal to your inner knowing. Reflection prompts take the individual on a journey from seeing themselves as 'separate' to recognizing that we're each part of the Divine Plan. The experience is punctuated by micro teachings on the virtues of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Forgiving, Wisdom, and Radiance. How to Be Loving: The Journal is a process of 'un-selfing,' as Danielle calls it, to realize that we're connected to an infinitely creative, loving source. Tear-out mini posters are a beautiful feature. This book companion helps us train to keep responding from the heart so that we can, as this bestselling author puts it, 'adapt to what shows up, meet all situations with inclusive love, and proceed from there. And that's resiliency.'

A heart centered life is a reflective life, and when we live more reflectively, we operate less reactively. With her signature relatability, Danielle LaPorte turns self-help right side out. "Don't try to life hack your way through fear -- that only creates more fear." And stop suppressing your ego: "It will put up a fight, but the ego just wants to be loved -- integrated, not segregated." The bestselling author explains why self-acceptance is counterculture, how virtues can turn into dangerous vices, and why healing is a nonlinear process that leads to gentleness. The most liberating message might be, "We don't need to focus on 'fixing' ourselves. As we focus on living from our heart center, anything that's not in alignment with that light will fall away." Designed with reflective practices and inspirational mini posters, the tone is calm and steady, but there's an urgency to this content. "The heart-mind is our greatest and often most neglected form of intelligence,' teaches Danielle. "There's no polarization in the heart space. It can hold fear and compassion, shadow and light -- yours and theirs. We're yearning to come into balance with love. It's the antidote to polarization." LaPorte examines the misidentifications that cause suffering and helps us identify with our Divine Nature. "You are not the wound. You're the healer." Her wisdom is relief in anxious times.

"THINK WITH LOVE. Open-mindedness - spirituality - is the practice of thinking with love. First, we refer to our heart's mind for the best way to proceed. Then we recruit the mental mind to support the heart. This is what it means to have our priorities straight." This is one of seventy-two cards in How to Be Loving: The Deck: For Resilience, Kindness, and All Kinds of Idealism - from bestselling author Danielle LaPorte. A companion deck for her book and journal of the same title, this collection is substance with a side of playful. Some cards are short paragraphs of deep teachings. Others are poignant one-liners that people will be posting everywhere: "Embrace your contradictions." "Use your mind for holy purposes." "Ask your heart what it wants to tell your mind." There are beautiful questions that can be used as conversation starters or journaling prompts, like, "If you were to look at yourself with a loving gaze, what would shift?" Danielle has also sprinkled in textual art cards that are ready for framing or tucking into love notes. These nourishing words and sweet inquiries are antidotes to the fear-based, limiting scripts we've had on repeat for years. As daily writing motivation, oracle cards, date-night cue cards, or on-the-spot inspiration, How to Be Loving: The Deck is for deep thinkers and for people just stepping on the path to healing - themselves and our world.

As the creator of DanielleLaPorte.com--deemed "the best place online for kick-ass spirituality," Danielle LaPorte's straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, she reframes popular self-help and success concepts:
Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself.
Being well-rounded is over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.
Screw your principles (they might be holding you back).
We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to "feel" in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment.

Your bucket list. Quarterly objectives. Strategic plans. Big dreams. Goals. Lots of goals and plans to achieve those goals-no matter what. Except ... You're not chasing the goal itself, you're actually chasing the feeling that you hope achieving that goal will give you. Which means we have the procedures of achievement upside down. We go after the stuff we want to have, get, or accomplish, and we hope that we'll be fulfilled when we get there. It's backwards. And it's burning us out. So what if you first got clear on how you actually wanted to feel in your life, and then created some "Goals with Soul"? With The Desire Map, Danielle LaPorte brings you a holistic life-planning tool that will revolutionize the way you go after what you want in life. Unapologetically passionate and with plenty of warm wit, LaPorte turns the concept of ambition inside out and offers an inspired, refreshingly practical workbook for using the Desire Map process: Identify your "core desired feelings" in every life domain: livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality * Create practical "Goals with Soul" to generate your core desired feelings * Why easing up on your expectations actually liberates you to reach your goals * Self-assessment quizzes, worksheets, and complete Desire Mapping tools for creating the life you truly long for Goal-setting just got a makeover. There are more than 10,000 "Desire Mappers" who have worked through this system. "Every day I get stories about inner clarity, quitting jobs, dumping the chump, renewing vows, pole-dancing classes, writing memoirs, moving on," says Danielle. "This is about liberation. And pleasure. And self-determination. This is about doing much less proving, and way more living." If you've had enough of trying to trick yourself into happiness through affirmations or bucket-listing your hopes into some distant future, then you're ready for The Desire Map-a dream-fulfilling system that harnesses your soul-deep desire to feel good.
