The Mastery of Love

If you could sum up The Mastery of Love in three words, what would they be?

Inspiring, practical and hopeful

What other book might you compare The Mastery of Love to and why?

7 Habits of Highly Effective People also talks about the interaction of man and his environment. For those in 12 Step recovery programs this is great support material.

Have you listened to any of Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have no basis for comparison, but the performances were very good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I can't listen in one sitting, but I looked forward to getting back to it each time I had to stop.

To Love starts with one self.

Where does The Mastery of Love rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Mastery of Love is a 5-star book. This book has lessons to learn about Love. Love starts with One Self and taking a look at how we were brought into this world to love. I like how Don Miguel Ruiz guides is through what happens to us as we grow up, from the wounded mind to the loss of innocence and how fear keeps us from love. Love begins with one self. I found this book profound for me at this time in my life as I have been like the divine huntress. Each chapter unfolds in a beautiful story to explain transformation we need to go through to experience the love we have been longing for. I have been discussing this book and sharing chapters with friends as I find it as a great guide to get us to the place of love in our life.

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked The Divine Huntress as it described me hunting for love.

What did you learn from The Mastery of Love that you would use in your daily life?

I will incorporate more prayer and forgiveness. As Don Miguel Ruiz describes we have to continually forgive others and ask for forgiveness to heal our emotional wounds. We have to be truthful with ourselves. Open those wounds and seek forgiveness. Also, respect and love and cherish our own bodies. Practice this love daily by treating our body with love every day.

Any additional comments?

The Perfect Relationship brought some humor for me and I like how the author described the perfect relationship. If we want a horse, why do we settle for a dog or cat? We can't go into a relationship with expectations to change the other person. The Perfect Relationship is when we don't have to change the other person at all. We accept them and love them as they are.

great book, one of my favorites books.

I have recommended this book anytime someone asks for a good book, specialty to young couples who are getting married

I was reminded that I am love!

There is a powerful message shared in this book regarding the way we look at relationships vs the art of love.
