"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.""-- - Baker & Taylor

How to use the genius of your heart to create conditions for healingâyourself and the collectiveâfrom a contemporary, accessible, loving sage. - McMillan Palgrave
This is a counterculture call to gentleness, from a contemporary and accessible sage.
What happens when you begin to identify as Loveââas the Soul beyond your personality constructs?
What changes when you see yourselfââand others, through a Loving gaze? Everything.
Love is universal, but how we learn about it and express it is incredibly personal. Being Loving doesnât necessarily mean feeling more. It means feeling everything with more Love. Itâs the ultimate inclusiveness. Because in the heart, itâs ALL INâyour light and your shadowsâand everyone elseâs.
We do not need to focus on âfixingâ ourselves. As we focus on living from our heart centerâfrom Loveâanything thatâs not in alignment with that Light falls away. This message is so liberating. And practical.
Youâll learn that progress is more about letting go than learning new tricks. Andâ¦
⢠You can choose higher quality thoughts more consistently (without spiritual bypassing) and interrupt lifelong patterns of rejecting our shadow side. We can unlearn the dogma that perpetuates perfectionism.
⢠Your ego, which is just an exaggerated sense of a separate self, will begin to calm down. You canât life hack your way through fearâthat only creates more fear. Instead, you can invite every part of yourself into the heart to rest in Love.
⢠Youâll stop talking yourself out of your natural inclinationto Forgive. The heart is for⦠giving. Itâs such sweet relief to opt for the power of Love and move on.
⢠You repeatedly choose higher-quality thoughts. Our thinking is magnetic. We can use the intelligence of Love to calm our nervous systems and experience real peace.
⢠You will create conditions for healing in your life. Accepting yourself and situations as is will free up so much of your life forceâenergy you can use to grow in new directions.
Here it is. Heart centered, soul powered, and divinely timed. A place for nuance and Compassion, where profound acceptance has room to grow.
This is How to Be Loving.
