What it is about

David Richo organizes mature love around attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection, and allowing. Drawing on psychology, mindfulness, and spiritual practice, he examines how childhood adaptation, projection, fear, grief, boundaries, and control shape the difference between loving a person and demanding that they regulate our wounds. I need this book close whenever I start thinking the question has become simple.

Why I keep it

Being an adult in love. Harder than it sounds.
