Everybody, Always
Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People
Editorial Review
In this Summary of Bob Goff's new book Everybody, Always, he explains that we loved people before and we are going to love more people as the days go by. We also have been loved and cherished by those surrounding us and we tend to try as hard as we can to reciprocate to this love. The act of falling in love with people who are kind and who love us back comes easily to us. It happens naturally without us having to think about what we are doing or why. We just have this feeling and we act upon it. But that is not what love truly is about. True love happens when you open up to the person in front of you without caring about their personality or mishaps. It is what Bob Goff calls the act of becoming one with love. You become love when you stop judging others for what you see by your eyes and start seeing them with your heart instead. This summary of the book explains the manual on how we can achieve that. It is not going to be easy, but it is going to be fulfilling in the long run.
