What is 7 Keys to Love and who reads it? 7 Keys to Love is a book that took over 30 years to write, a compilation and clarification of the many facets of one of the world’s most confusing and compelling topics: love.
JK Rowling recently said in the last Harry Potter movie: "Don't pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and, above all,
The Dalai Lama has said: "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."
Sandy Hinden, the author of the book, learned of the power of love when he started to collect quotes on love over 35 years ago. He continues to do so, and has discovered there are two kinds of readers of 7 Keys to Love.
The first reader seeks to Find Fulfillment for Self, Relationships and Family. The second type of reader is seeking to Transform Our Communities and the World, to make a Difference.
In reading 7 Keys to Love, both of these kinds of readers learn how to apply love daily in their communication, collaboration and creativity to create more of the life they really want.
The book describes 7 types of love and more. For those seeking to Find Fulfillment for Self, Relationships and Family, the first four chapters deal with Self Love, Emotional Love, Physical Love and Family Love.
For those seeking to also Transform Our Communities and the World, to Make a Difference, the next four chapters focus on Platonic-Altruistic-Community Love, Creative Love, Spiritual-Universal Love and The Transformational Love Process to help create the world we really want through, what Sandy Hinden calls, sustainable communities.
