Awaken your inner healer, transform conflict, and embrace our ever-changing world with confidence and compassion.

Love thy neighbor. Lovingkindness. The love of the universe. From traditional religions to new spirituality, love is the foundation on which all practice rests. We all embrace the idea of love ... and then we get on social media. Or read the news. Or visit family.
Whether divided by race, gender, sexual orientation, identity preference, or opinion, the incredible moral and social chasms in our world have become a source of pain and confusion for so many people. We know that love and unity are beautiful ideals, but the question remains: How do we get there?
In what may be his boldest and bravest book yet, bestselling author Matt Kahn invites us to see our differences as golden opportunities to explore the depth of our interconnectedness. Offering wise insights and tangible tools, Matt teaches us how to remain aligned with our highest truths and values while we hold space for the experiences of others.
Throughout the book, Matt shares ten essential principles—mercy, worthiness, bravery, and more—that help us access the highest and most loving qualities within ourselves and those around us. Each chapter contains personal stories and real-world applications, guiding us to reach into our own hearts and give one another the respect, validation, and encouragement needed to make it through the evolutionary shifts before us—shifts into greater unity and greater love.

      In this ho-hum outing, empathic healer Kahn (The Universe Always Has a Plan) details how to embrace sensitivity and positivity in one’s relationships. The author provides “ten principles to help you transform the difficulties of human interaction into a sacred space of intimate connection,” encouraging readers to take control of their emotions and counter conflict with mindfulness. One principle contends that “anger is a reenactment of someone else’s trauma,” and Kahn urges readers to respond to the outbursts of others by pausing to reflect on the trials they must have experienced. To illustrate that “being helpful begins with listening,” Kahn tells how the capricious tempers of his parents caused him to develop a habit of tuning out of conversations for fear they might suddenly turn heated, and he recounts overcoming this by attending to how the words of others reflected the “unprocessed pain they carried within.” He also includes exercises to develop such qualities as bravery, respect, and appreciation; for example, he instructs readers to pay attention to the sensations felt during one’s daily routine and to take “breathing breaks” when annoyed as a means of practicing patience. Kahn cites few sources to back up his claims, so readers will have to accept his advice at face value. Those willing to take the plunge will find this to be an optimistic if insubstantial program for leading with kindness.
