The Love Mindset: An Unconventional Guide to Healing and Happiness Kindle Edition

If you're the kind of person who is able to make positive change in your life simply by understanding the problem, then this is probably the book for you. While I appreciate the authors intellect in defining and explaining the issues that we as human beings face in our thoughts and actions, I kept waiting chapter after chapter to hear from her encouragement or suggestions for solutions. Try this technique, or for me I did so and so and it really helped to change my thinking. Instead, the chapters felt like a never ending string of metaphors strung together to tell us how messed up we are. I think that most of us are not naive enough to think that there's a magic pill that will make our lives better, and we're willing to do the work that it takes to get there. I was really hoping for some positive guidance and suggestions on how to do that work. Admit tingly, I only made it through about 2/3 of the book before I couldn't take anymore of hearing we suck and this is why without any positive guidance for making change. Perhaps the last few chapters offer more in the way of guidance, I just didn't see it in the first 10 which was very disappointing.

Okay. I picked up this book on a whim, thinking that it would provide me some answers to my question, "What is love, what is self-love and what can I do to achieve self-love?"As I read chapter after chapter, all her descriptions, stories, explanations made a lot of sense intellectually. I was able to understand but had no idea what to do, where to start the practice of self-love.I reached out to her from her website and managed to get in touch and she is a lovely person. I would go so far as to state that she is one of my guardian angels, sent by the Universe at the right time and at the right place. She was warm, infinitely graceful and welcoming and listened to me without judgement. That kind of safe sanctity to be vulnerable is a treasure simply because it is so rare. And because I cherish it so much, to me, it is a gift to share with everyone I come into contact with - to be infinitely kind, gentle and respectful of them - to love them exactly as they are.One thing I definitely like is her description of her thought process through her stories, how she felt, what she did, the things that went through her mind. I could relate to everything because I am human too, and when you read her stories, you will relate to it too because everyone has gone through those thoughts and emotions to some degree. So this book will help you, even if you are not on a path of self-love because this is knowledge that will benefit everyone.Her book convinced me that love is truly the only way to live. It heals, it strengthens, it nourishes and it is always, always gentle. To act without love brings about destruction. To live life without loving yourself brings destruction TO YOURSELF. Simple concept but it made everything else start to make sense to me. Why certain things happen, why I react to things in a certain way, why people act the way that they do; everything boils down to love. Pick up her book and read through it and I hope that life will start to make sense for you too.If you are looking for WAYS to practice self-love, this book will give you the pre-existing knowledge needed. When the importance of love and self-love starts to make sense to you, then delve deeper into other books which offer concrete practices such as journaling about your beliefs, your past wounds, etc. etc. If you jump into doing things without really understanding what love really means to you, it is akin to flailing around in mud and you will most likely be frustrated with yourself. So practice self-love by getting this book first, for YOU. :)

This is the type of book I’d describe as, “a bit hippy-dippy;” some mildly far-out philosophies on how to keep and open mind and open heart to let love in. I found the ending to be particularly powerful and resonating in that it emphasizes the concept of moving the seed from a poisonous location. Far too often we allow ourselves to stay in a place that just reinforces negativity, debilitating our ability to grow and prosper- to find love. This book was helpful at keeping my mind at peace and outlined a way of thinking to keep the peace and light in my life.

This book is fantastic. I can't wait to read Vironika's new one! I completely understand everything that she talks about in this book, but she brings to light new ways of looking at everything. I kept thinking "oh yeah, that really makes sense!" Within the many books I've read, I do know that I need to look within for love. I'm working on it, and it's good to know that I'm not the only one who has been through such horrible self-inflicted terror in life. I've waken up, but now I know I can wake up even more. Thank you Vironika.

I really liked the book from the very beginning till the very last page.It resonated with so many things in my life, but what it did more for me was to push me to take further action into getting into the love mindset.I recommend this book to everyone, but I also encourage you to take action while reading or right after reading it.Books like this might seem like a great story, but the action taken will give you the love and happiness you are after.Take the challenge, do the work!

People respond in ways they are treated. This book has helped me become aware of the effect that I have on people, and it has me to become critical of myself in situations where it is important to think clearly for optimal outcome. Now I can have a conversation with my mom without ending in a fight or disagreement, but instead in understanding one another's behavior better.

For some time I've wondered if I was approaching self love wrong and I was happy that Vironika confirmed this, my expectations towards this book were exceeded and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to make a long awaited change within themselves. The honesty of her experiences will make you feel raw as we are all straddled in some way between where we are and where we'd like to be. At first the price almost deterred me but I'm glad I didn't.

Check out Benhito Massaro’s youtube if you are seeing this now, which you are. Yay! :-)

I've just stayed up all night having read a blog post by the author that rang very true for me, which lead me to the book.I'm someone who has been on a journey of self-discovery for the last couple of years and I found that Vironika's approach was exactly what I needed to hear. She has a warm and friendly writing style that is unafraid to address the complexities of the human mind and challenge those unhelpful thought processes at source. It reinforced and furthered my own thinking on the subject and has given me plenty to take forward in how I deal with the challenges of life. Really impressive piece of writing and one that I intend to go back to over and over whenever I need a reminder, although it's already left a deep impression on me. Really excellent, the first self-help book I've ever come across that actually speaks to me in terms I can understand and implement for myself.Also a bonus star for the kindle version being cheaper than the paperback.

I don’t think there’s a section of the book I haven’t highlighted, screenshotted or just pined over. Beautiful. Thank you for bringing this into our lives 💜

I loved everything about this book! The chapter on bandages and armour is truly beautiful. We either love and grow or we remain asleep.

Honest and real a must read

Would recommend this book without hesitation. Great insight and a great read. Would read it again and again : )

A self-help book with a lot of heart. You can hear the author's personal experience behind writing this book without too much self-reflection or pity... it just is what it is.The author clearly cares about the human spirit and wants to share her enlightenment to love being at its core.It is a book promoting LOVE. Self-love. Love for people. The universe. Us. You know the deal, let go of what ails you, open your heart and begin to heal. The more you look to read this kind of book, the more you know you are already on the right path.My only negative is too much flowery prose, such as the repetitive feed the tree/root analogy.

Whilst not always an easy read, the messages in this book are empowering. Find a quiet place to read and reflect, and you will gain much from this book

I've read lots of this kind of stuff, but this one was one of my favourites. It's very authentic and accessible. A simple shift in mindset can really take you a long way.

This book covers the most important concepts in everyone's life. Concepts that each and every person on this planet ever wondered about and tried to make sense to himself. This book is not just a nice read when you have free time, it's a must!

Great read to help you out on your journey of self-discovery! :)

Brilliant Book. Buy it now.
