Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

How to be Love(d) is the last book on love you'll ever need. Explore simple truths for going easier on yourself, embracing imperfections and loving your way to a better life through insightful stories and down-to-earth advice from artist and international best-selling author of Unlearn, Humble The Poet.

We all want love; everything we do is in pursuit of that love, but that journey has become difficult and complicated. We're programmed to seek love outside of ourselves, and we're trained to view love as something to earn, or a destination to reach. That programming blinds us to the simple truth that we are beautiful, eternal sources of love, and to be loved is to be love.

This book is a guide to self-love that helps clear the blockages on your path inward towards love and discard old ideas that prevent us from realising the love we've always had.

Clear away the misguided notion that you must be enough before you are worthy of loveβ€”you are worthy. Clear away the expectations for love you have learned from the mediaβ€”love is messy and real, not "happily ever after." Clear away your lack of self-awarenessβ€”see yourself for who you truly are.

Instead of earning more, achieving more, and gaining more attention, what we really need to do is clear pathways and make room for love to enter, be realised, and flourish. Whether we're talking about love for ourselves, or love for everyone and everything.
