About this ebook
From the international bestselling author of Awareness, a pocket-sized guide that will bring you to new levels of spiritual awareness.
The Way To Love contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness," de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act," de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. The Way To Love is his last.

Bought this book in Palm Beach Florida 15 years ago. It's a good compass when feeling lost. Simple succinct and matter of fact. Amazing insights that can get you back on track to your true self. Thank You.

This man's perspective on life may very well have saved my life. It is an amazing book; I keep rereading it, not necessarily page by page but I turn to different chapters depending on how I am feeling...

Book had me gripped from beginning to end. What an eye opener, as to how we go through life so blindely and unaware of truth and true love!
