The author of the No.1 Sunday Times bestseller Think Like a Monk offers a revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on ancient wisdom and new science.

Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we’re often thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until now.

Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose together, how to define love, and why you don’t break in a break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners.

By living Jay Shetty’s eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.

Jay Shetty's book '8 Rules of Love' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2023-08-14.

Review

A fulfilling life begins and ends with how you show up in your relationships. With that said, this could be the most valuable book you read this year.
Dr Julie Smith, Clinical Psychologist and #1 Sunday Times Bestselling Author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

8 Rules of Love guides you on your quest for love as you build a foundation first with yourself, then with others and, finally, with the world. Jay's teachings and writings inspire and empower you to navigate love and to live life with compassion, humour and the belief that anything is possible.

This is the first and last book anyone needs to read on the topic of love and relationships. A truly complete, demystifying, challenging and captivating journey through modern love, its inevitable human challenges and its unavoidable human answers. One of the most important books I’ve ever read.

Jay’s gift is to teach and empower. This book not only helps us gain a better understanding and appreciation of love, but assists us in achieving greater awareness of the self and the needs of those around us.

Jay Shetty has created an excellent guide to rising in love to joy and fulfilment. The usual falling in love is a mask for self-importance; this is love as the ultimate truth in creation. The rules of love he explores will take you on a path of self-discovery towards new levels of awareness – the only means to blissful relationships.
