Publisher's summary

How to use the genius of your heart to create conditions for healing—yourself and the collective—from a contemporary, accessible, loving sage.

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.

Embodiment of Love

This book is a vessel of distilled, loving snd comforting wisdom that is deeply engaging. Danielle offers transformative self reflection questions in the gentlest of ways. Her voice is soothing and her laughter is contagious. With humour and authenticity, Danielle shares her heart and her learning for all of us to receive. I am listening to the “Accepting Life” chapter on repeat.

Love anarchy!

Incredible in every way - a recipe to save the world, starting with our own soul, rippling outward - this is one of those rare breed audiobooks that is smashingly better than the hard copy, which is also fantastic!

Highly Recommend This Book!

I can’t imagine anyone NOT finding this book helpful in some way applicable to their life. La Porte had me at the first mention of Immanuel Kant, but it’s likely to grab you in some other way. WHO honestly believes they know how to be loving?
