“Once again Danielle Laporte is able to write a book that speaks directly to our souls… to the future of healing, the future of the collective shift we are moving through, and is a MUST READ as we all navigate the present times.” – Meaghan T.  ★★★★★

What happens when you begin to identify as Love—as the Soul beyond your personality constructs?

What changes when you see yourself, and others, through a Loving gaze? Everything.

A guide to using the genius of your heart to create conditions for healing––personally and collectively––How To Be Loving is a nuanced perspective on the life-changing power of Self Compassion, shadow work, and receptivity to Higher Guidance. 

In this counterculture call to gentleness, the bestselling author shines tender light on:

• Why spirituality is simply the practice of thinking with Love.
• How the lofty-sounding work of “healing” and “Soul alignment” happens naturally when embodying the 7 Virtues: Divine Love, Compassion, Wisdom, For Giving, Loving Kindness, Resilience, and Radiance.
• Why you’ll make greater progress by letting go than learning new tricks. (Yes, really… You don’t need to focus on “fixing” yourself. When you focus on living from your Heart Center, anything that’s not in alignment with that Light falls away.)
• How to consistently choose higher quality thoughts (without spiritual bypassing). This is how we use the intelligence of Love to calm our nervous system and experience peace.
• How to fully accept yourself + situations as-is to free up your life force—energy you can use to grow in new directions. 
• Relaxing into your natural inclination to Forgive. (After all, the heart is for … giving. It’s such a sweet relief to opt for the power of Love and move on.)

“Danielle’s most profound and prolific work to date… If you’re ready to heal your suffering while opening your heart, run––don’t walk––to pick up this book.” – Jessica Zweig, Author, CEO + Founder Simply Be

We’re here to awaken to our Divine Nature and interconnectedness⁠, not to identify as small selves in a hostile universe. 

When we use our heart’s mind to make every choice, we realize: We are not the wound, we’re the healer.

Here it is—unabridged and warmly read by the author, paired with text. Layered with practices, prayers, and reflections. Heart Centered, soul powered, and divinely timed. 

This is How to Be Loving.

This is a counterculture call to gentleness—an unabridged audio from a contemporary and accessible sage.

What happens when you begin to identify as Love—as the Soul beyond your personality constructs?

What changes when you see yourself, and others, through a Loving gaze? Everything.

Love is universal, but how we learn about it and express it is incredibly personal. Being Loving doesn’t necessarily mean feeling more. It means feeling everything with more Love. It’s the ultimate inclusiveness. Because in the heart, it’s ALL IN—your light and your shadows—and everyone else’s.

We do not need to focus on “fixing” ourselves. As we focus on living from our heart center—from Love—anything that’s not in alignment with that Light falls away. This message is so liberating. And practical.

You’ll learn that progress is more about letting go than learning new tricks. And …

• You can choose higher-quality thoughts more consistently (without spiritual bypassing) and interrupt lifelong patterns of rejecting your shadow side. You can unlearn the dogma that perpetuates perfectionism.
• Your ego, which is just an exaggerated sense of a separate self, will begin to calm down. You can’t life hack your way through fear—that only creates more fear. Instead, you can invite every part of yourself into the heart to rest in Love.
• You’ll stop talking yourself out of your natural inclination to Forgive. The heart is for … giving. It’s such sweet relief to opt for the power of Love and move on.
• You repeatedly choose higher-quality thoughts. Your thinking is magnetic. You can use the intelligence of Love to calm your nervous system and experience real peace.
• You will create conditions for healing in your life. Accepting yourself and situations as is will free up so much of your life force—energy you can use to grow in new directions.

Here it is—unabridged and read by the author. Heart centered, soul powered, and divinely timed. A place for nuance and Compassion, where profound acceptance has room to grow.

This is How to Be Loving.

How to use the genius of your heart to create conditions for healing—yourself and the collective.

A heart centered life is a reflective life, and when we live more reflectively, we operate less reactively. With her signature relatability, Danielle LaPorte turns self-help right side out. “Don’t try to life-hack your way through fear—that only creates more fear.” And stop suppressing your ego: “It will put up a fight, but the ego just wants to be loved—integrated, not segregated.”

The bestselling author explains why self-acceptance is counterculture, how virtues can turn into dangerous vices, and why healing is a nonlinear process that leads to gentleness. The most liberating message might be, “We don't need to focus on ‘fixing’ ourselves. As we focus on living from our heart center, anything that’s not in alignment with that light will fall away.”

Designed with reflective practices and inspirational mini posters, the tone is calm and steady, but there’s an urgency to this content. “The heart-mind is our greatest and often most neglected form of intelligence," teaches Danielle. “There’s no polarization in the heart space. It can hold fear and compassion, shadow and light—yours and theirs. We’re yearning to come into balance with love. It’s the antidote to polarization.”

LaPorte examines the misidentifications that cause suffering and helps us identify with our Divine Nature. “You are not the wound. You're the healer.” Her wisdom is relief in anxious times.

“Your truth is so laid bare, raw, revealed. I’m drop-jawed in awe.” – Meggan Watterson, author of Reveal

Experience the life-liberating methodology that’s lifted over 300,000 people worldwide! 

New Year’s resolutions. Quarterly objectives. Bucket lists. BIG goals. Little weekly to-dos. We hope hitting these goals will make us feel fulfilled, happy, enough…

We expect to hear trumpets at the finish line. Instead, we hear crickets. We find emptiness, not fullness. Stress, not serenity. So we look to yet another goal to deliver the big payoff. Rinse and repeat.

It’s an exhausting cycle of self-defeat. How do you end it? By realizing:

You’re not chasing the goal. You’re chasing the feeling you hope the goal will give you.

So… what if you first got clear on how you want to feel in your life, then created some “Goals with Soul” to generate those feelings NOW, not in some imagined future?

“I don’t say this lightly – it changes everything.”  – Samantha Reynolds, Founder & CEO of ECHO Storytelling

In The Desire Map, Danielle lays out a holistic approach to life planning that will revolutionize your concepts of success and ambition––changing what you pursue, as well as how you pursue it.

As you follow the process through a refreshingly pragmatic, soul-stirring workbook, you will:

• Discover your core desired feelings in every life domain––livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality.
• Make practical + deliciously simple plans to generate more of your core desired feelings with daily, weekly, and monthly actions.
• Learn why easing up on your expectations actually liberates you to reach your goals.
• Use self-assessment quizzes, worksheets, and Desire Mapping tools to let your Soul lead the way to joyful living, and start creating the life you truly long for.

“I’m only on page 11 of The Desire Map and my mind has been blown WIDE OPEN.”  – Gala D.

Every incredible success story you can imagine, Desire Mappers have shared it! Finding inner clarity. Quitting jobs. Building businesses. Dumping the chump. Renewing vows. Moving on. Moving abroad. Learning pole dance. Writing memoirs. Making 6 figures on part-time hours.

The common thread is liberation––doing much less proving and way more living.

If you’ve had enough of trying to trick yourself into happiness through affirmations, or bucket-listing your hopes into some distant future, then you’re ready for The Desire Map―a dream-fulfilling system that harnesses your soul-deep desire to feel good.
