A deep journaling tool for becoming less reactive, and more responsive and open to loveIn her highly anticipated new book, How to Be Loving, Danielle LaPorte teaches that “resiliency is our capacity to respond from the heart―it has everything to do with love and inclusiveness, and nothing to do with getting tougher.

The experience is punctuated by micro teachings on the virtues of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Forgiving, Wisdom, and Radiance.How to B
