The Power of Love: Loving yourself is the only way to be ready for someone else's love. (The Power of Experience #1)

In a simple yet straightforward manner the author has managed to de-mystify the sometimes intimidating prospect of being single in today’s world. This book pro-vides a roadmap of sorts which empowers the individual to not only navigate this sometimes treacherous terrain, but also to transform the journey into one of dis-covery, understanding, anticipation, deep joy and abundance. It further examines the topic of “single-ness” in the context of intellectual curiosity, self-improvement, self-discovery, and above all self-love, as a prelude to a true love partnership. It shows how the process, if properly manifested, makes the proposition of being single a deeply satisfying and soul enriching experience. In life, as in many things, I have found that the only way out is through and in this case the path, as well as the destination, is one and the same: deep enduring happiness.

The author examines the courtship ritual as a spectacular dance between the most evolved and beautiful species on earth. Through playful and purposeful prose, both the pleasure and exuberance of the dance are experienced by the reader as a glorious game, intended to be thoroughly enjoyed as the journey preceding the destination of true love, passion and ecstasy.

The power of love is about being present to experience the magnificence of the journey, the exquisite dance of courtship, and the ultimate rewards of doing the work necessary of oneself to prepare for true intimacy. It demonstrates the point that self-love and acceptance are prerequisites to commitment. The focus is on the here and now, the only time and place we can really affect change, with the only person whom we are capable of changing; ourselves.

The text provides a poignant reminder to all of us that the things in life truly worth having can only originate from within. Reading this brought me deep joy, in many cases laughing out loud from the sheer elation of finally understanding the key to happiness as a single person, the exquisite anticipation involved in taking the time to make the wisest choice in the most important decision any of us will ever make. This book examines the journey to our destiny, the path to the soul mate of our creation and of our dreams; and the ultimate expression of perfection.

I am eternally grateful and indebted to the author for having shared this profound wisdom and illuminating the path for so many singles out there searching for the perfect partner. After having read this book, singles everywhere may now discover the joy and passion intended to be experienced in this exquisite dance of courtship.
