Traditional wisdom and cutting-edge science come together in "8 Rules of Love," a comprehensive guide for every stage of a romantic relationship. Instead of viewing love as a vague concept or a set of platitudes, Jay Shetty lays out concrete, practical steps that can be taken to improve one's ability to practice and cultivate it. He discusses what love is, why marriages last, and how to deal with success and failure together. Taking cues from both Western science and ancient Vedic teachings, he covers every stage of the dating and marriage process. As an added bonus, he shows how to recognize and avoid dishonest promises and accomplices.
