In this book, Richo offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships--one that focuses not on finding an ideal mate, but on becoming a more loving and realistic person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, \u003ci\u003eHow to Be an Adult in Relationships \u003c\/i\u003e explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1. \u003ci\u003e Attention\u003c\/i\u003e to the present moment; observing, listening, and noticing all the feelings at play in our relationships. \u003cbr\u003e 2. \u003ci\u003e Acceptance\u003c\/i\u003e of ourselves and others just as we are. \u003cbr\u003e 3. \u003ci\u003e Appreciation\u003c\/i\u003e of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament. \u003cbr\u003e 4. \u003ci\u003e Affection\u003c\/i\u003e shown through holding and touching in respectful ways. \u003cbr\u003e 5. \u003ci\u003e Allowing\u003c\/i\u003e life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen deeply understood and applied, these five simple concepts--what Richo calls the five A's--form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A's, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformation.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"How to Be an Adult in Relationships: The Five Keys to Mindful Loving | David Richo | Paperback | 9781570628122 | Used: Very Good | Family \u0026 Relationships 1731495 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48167907066008,"sku":"1731495","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81YgVOKhSvL.jpg?v=1771958089","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/how-to-be-an-adult-in-relationships-the-five-keys-to-mindful-loving","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
