Beloved spiritual teacher Vex King follows up his international bestseller Good Vibes, Good Life with this essential guide to building meaningful, mindful, and loving relationships.
Humans are social animals. But it is nearly impossible to build healthy, sustainable bonds with others without first practicing self-love and having a good relationship with yourself. To get along with others, we often alter our habits or subsume our unique personalities. By trying to transform or suppress our true selves, we erode our self-worth and self-knowledge. We begin to lose sight of who we really are and what we truly want. When our self-understanding and self-confidence are damaged, it ultimately hurts our relationships.
In this wise and transformative book--a revised edition of Closer to Love--Vex King offers relationship advice that helps us find and sustain the connections we want with ourselves and others. Good relationships begin with loving ourselves and recognizing our own desires and needs. This self-discovery allows our best selves to radiate with confidence and to attract and choose partners--romantic and platonic--who are truly compatible. When we feel comfortable in our own skin, we are able to give and receive love without being blocked by the destructive emotions and past trauma that previously held us back and prevented us from forming fulfilling and lasting relationships.
Filled with Vex King's profound wisdom, thoughtful self-practices, and easy-to adopt-habit builders, this guide to personal development opens you up to the love you deserve and shows you how to bring it into your life.
In this guide to creating healthy bonds, you'll discover:
- Self-Love as a Foundation: Learn why a compassionate relationship with yourself is the essential first step before you can build sustainable, healthy bonds with others.
- Healing Past Trauma: Identify and release the old wounds and destructive emotions that block your ability to give and receive love without fear.
- Attachment and Compatibility: Move beyond your usual 'type' and learn to recognize and attract partners--both romantic and platonic--who are truly compatible with your most authentic self.
- Actionable Self-Practices: Go beyond theory with thoughtful exercises and easy-to-adopt habit-builders designed to open you up to the unconditional love you deserve.
