About this listen

To apply a Buddhist viewpoint to relationships is eye-opening. It points to a radically different worldview, one that runs counter to the spirit of much of the conventional advice we receive.

Broken hearts, resentment, affairs, divorce. Why is it so hard to make relationships work? New York Times best-selling author and mindfulness expert Susan Piver applies classic Buddhist wisdom to modern romance, including her own long-term relationship, to show ancient philosophies have timeless - and unexpected - wisdom on how to love.

The Four Noble Truths of Love will challenge the expectations you have about dating, sex, and romance, liberating you from the habits, traumas, and expectations that have been holding back your relationships. This mindful approach toward love will help you open your heart fearlessly, deepen communications with your partner, increase your compassion and resilience, and lead you toward a path of true happiness.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain: expansive, real love for yourself and others.

“One of the most exquisitely wise - and comforting - relationship books I've ever read. The Four Noble Truths of Love is a lighthouse for the beautiful, murky mess of intimacy; one of those keepers that you wear out and gift to every friend and say, ‘This will help.’ This book has permanent residency on my bedside table so I can keep coming back for Susan’s compassionate reminders: that we are inherently good and our capacity to love is indestructible.” (Danielle LaPorte, author of The Desire Map and White Hot Truth)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

You saved my marriage

Nice to have, not have to have

Many of us wish that it was so easy to meditate and think all your relationship issues away and whilst it's honourable to practice caring kindness whilst living mindfully and the link to the noble truths is a valid one it might be understandable that critical thoughts arise when further assessing the possibility to come to terms with deeper rooted issues or the struggles with regards to living somewhere inconvenient for the sake of complying with one's partners career choices or tapping into meditation to radically changing one's feelings about the other when there conflict or despair.
