In this insightful book, readers are guided on a transformative journey that identifies the primary cognitive–behavioral challenges hindering the development of deep, enduring love. The author masterfully reveals how these obstacles can be transcended through a shift in perspective, replacing self-centeredness and needless anxiety with empathy, serenity, and courage. Through timeless wisdom drawn from sages and philosophers, the book introduces "love philosophies" that empower individuals to cultivate authentic love and reshape their relationships positively. This work stands out by offering a cognitive–behavioral approach grounded in philosophical wisdom, encouraging readers to select the philosophies that resonate with them personally rather than dictating a one-size-fits-all solution.
