How to Be Loving: As Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up

Danielle has a way with words. She puts feelings and situations into words that I tend to search for a lot. Very gentle approach. So much wisdom and knowledge!

I love Danielle books. Have them all. This one wasn’t designed in the same fashion. I’ll be buying the audio book because the text was hard to read. Maybe I’ll getting old but other books do not have the same issue.

How To Be Loving is a gorgeous layout of what's ahead for us as human beings in this Aquarian Age. Many can feel a change in the air with where we are headed as a humanity -- from stiff competition and gnarly gains to cooperation and community driven all inclusive love. Danielle LaPorte is an incredibly gifted orator and author who delivers her point of view across the pages of this beautiful book with magnetic flair, helping us come home to our Hearts. The virtues, compassion, resilience, divine love -- all of this and more are presented in her most poetic ways, and really do help soften our rigidity around our personal, little selves. To develop a more inclusive view is to heal. Danielle shows us the way. As she says, this is not a map, this is a call to connect deeply with our Inner Nature so that we realize our own divinity, and in doing so, can resonate with the divinity in others, thus leading us to lives filled with graceful abundance for us all. To love something/someone is to include it into our Hearts. To discard something/someone is to create more polarity and pain and subsequent dis-ease and painful states for ourselves. What a brilliant gift and yes, a definite balm for us all, especially those starved for truth and expansive ways. This book is a must read for all willing to discover a more fluid way of living and breathing life into all our relationships with ourselves and our loved ones. To love deeply is to have lived fully. I hope other readers discover this gem and encourage others to look at the new earth through this purified lens. Thank you Danielle. This is the New Way!! Love.

Once again Danielle Laporte is able to write a book that speaks directly to our souls. She continues to be ahead of our evolution and puts into writing the wisdom that our hearts and minds are craving to hear.This book offered me a pathway and guidance on how to listen to my own heart intelligence, who knew my own heart had so much to say. While I have spent a lot of $ and time seeking people and books to "fix me" I found this book to be an invitation to embrace my own softness and move through the world open. The virtues that Danielle offers are game changers, while I used to think my power came from boundaries and critiques, I now see that the true bravery of living in kindness and acceptance is the path for me.This book speaks to the future of healing, the future of the collective shift we are moving through, and is a MUST READ as we all navigate the present times.

I've been following Danielle LaPorte for a long time, but even if you are just finding her now, get this book. It is a balm for our time, but also the antidote for our times: we need healing. We need love. This book helps us get there. I know I need to be kinder to myself and think more about interacting with others. We're all in such a messed-up place right now. This is not your typical "self-help" book, because it's not just about The Self, it's about how we are all connected; we are all part of infinity. I'm not even sure I know what that fully means yet, but I'm reading to find out. Do the world and yourself a favor: get the book. It's lightweight if you want a hardcover. Many people are highlighting passages, so if you want the digital it can help us all see connections with what is resonating with others. And Danielle reads the book herself, and if you've not listened to her podcast, her voice resonates with love itself. Five stars. Six if there were such a rating.

This is the most eye-opening, honest reflection of our true purpose in life, to learn to be more heart-centered and loving with ourselves and others. I read each chapter multiple times to really let these truths sink in and to feel my heart opening up.Danielle calls it a love letter and that’s exactly what it feels like. I recommend this AND the audiobook of her reading the words softly spoken, compassionately like a friend, and living like the message. It’s actionable and life affirming.I’ve already purchased the book for a friend and have several others in mind whom I also want to share these truths with. Cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone walking a spiritual path and looking to bring it all home - with love.

I ordered two copies of this book, one for me and one to give away. After only 10 days reading a chapter a day, I gave the second copy to my best friend. This book is truly a treatise on how to heal your Inner Child with love, so you can live your best life. Every day I read a chapter and record the gems of wisdom I receive in my special journal that I set up just for this book. Folks, I buy a LOT of books. I’ve read a LOT of spiritual books, hoping for something to heal my broken heart and guide me on a better way to live. I can stop now. I’ve found it. By applying the rituals and healing tools that Danielle shares, I am healing myself a little every day. My favorite passage so far is the “The Wound-to-Healing Sequence.” Brilliant and Magical and so, so Healing . . . Thank you, Danielle!

I just started reading this but so far I absolutely love it! I love the compassionate exercise about saying to your self ‘“I’ve done that before.”So when you are experiencing someone talking to you in a certain tone or doing something that makes you unhappy you say to yourself “I’ve done that before” weather in this relationship or in another time in my life. It really helped me open my eyes and be more compassionate

As I began reading this book I found that quite a few of the themes were very familiar to me, as I was already on a path that aligns with the authors offerings. That said the deeper I got into the book the more I found I was inspired and had heartfelt awakenings. I knew I was going to love the book I just didn’t realize I’d love it this much. I even gifted the book to my sister for her 50th birthday.

I have been following Danielle's work since 2011 when I was living in Vancouver. I was in my early 20's and in grad school at the time. Danielle has a way of speaking and writing that makes you feel instantly connected to yourself and others. Her work has helped me connect back to myself time and time again. This new book is no exception! When I started to read the first few pages, I could feel my body soften and my breath slow. Reading How to Be Loving is a spiritual experience in and of itself and one that I look forward to each time that I open the book. Because this book focuses on divine love, it does not create separation among people depending on privilege, status, or wealth. These concepts are accessible to all just as love is within each of us. I read another review speaking to how this book does not acknowledge how so many people are in a state of survival and do not have the privilege to focus on spirituality and love. I would like to offer that this book is especially for those in a state of survival as it is speaking to the heaviness that the last couple of years have brought for so many of us and the collective suffering that has resulted. This book offers a gentle invitation to shift our perspectives even though many of our circumstances may not significantly change. These shifts in thinking and feeling can be significant and have a lasting impact on our overall wellbeing.

I loved every word, phrase, quote, and syllable! Danielle has combined many teachings of loving gurus and created a book that is easily understood, digested, and applied in this polarized world.Being more loving and the principles in this book are key to a more peaceful world.I highly recommend for those committed to personal evolution. 👌

This book is magnificent. It spoke to every fibre of my being and provided the deepest of exhales. I lingered on every chapter because each provided so much opportunity for reflection, refraining, and releasing.Deeply healing and loving, this is the book the world needs right now.It’s an invitation to soften, to open our hearts, and pour love into ourselves and each other. I’m getting additional copies to give to everyone as gifts.

Like everything else she creates, I’m always drawn in by her wisdom and that great big heart! I sink into her words like a warm, bubble bath.I couldn’t wait for this book to arrive and now, at last, I can ease my nervous system one sweet chapter at a time. I’m keeping this one, but Christmas shopping for my loved ones just got easy.Thanks Danielle xo
