Self-Love is an original and insightful study of a much-maligned concept that may in fact hold the key to well being. Author Joseph Magno explores the positive aspects of self-love as well as the destructive consequences that can result when it is lacking. Building on the perspective that human beings are inherently loving by nature, Magno argues that self-love is causally and reciprocally linked to selflessly loving others. By contrast, fear, selfishness, suffering, and even the abuse of others may arise from a dearth of self-love. Magno further maintains that self-love in the sense of self-acceptance provides the essential link between physical and psychological health. Putting theory into practice, Magno also demonstrates how the principles he describes may be applied to recover self-love and ultimately restore wholeness and well being. Self-Love offers a philosophy of holistic health that will be an important resource for psychologists, social workers, health care professionals or anyone seeking physical, psychological, or spiritual renewal.

This review is from: Self-Love (Hardcover)
Dr. Magno has the ability to show the reader how important the art of self-love is in living a truly happy life. I was really impressed by the knowledge that fear is unfounded in our lives and certainly negative emotions are unnecessary. In clear and easy language, Dr. Magno explains the way to move from emotions of negativity to emotions of positive self worth. I truly enjoyed the book.
