Download How to Be an Adult in Relationships AudioBook Free

"A lot of people think of love as a feeling," says David Richo, "but love is not really much a feeling as a way to be present." In this audiobook, Richo offers a brand new point of view on love and interactions - the one which centers not on finding a perfect mate, but on becoming a more loving and natural person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, How being a grown-up in Connections explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and exactly how they play an integral role inside our interactions throughout life:

1. Attention for this moment; observing, hearing, and realizing all the feelings at play inside our relationships
2. Popularity of ourselves as well as others as we are
3. Appreciation of all our gifts, our boundaries, our longings, and our poignant human predicament
4. Affection shown through positioning and coming in contact with in respectful ways
5. Allowing life and like to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without aiming to take control

When deeply understood and applied, these five simple ideas - what Richo calling the five A's - form the basis of adult love. They help us to go away from common sense, dread, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and interactions. By giving and acquiring these five A's, interactions become deeper and much more meaningful, and they become a floor for personal transformation.
