"Susan Piver consistently offers what so many of us seek: A generous, caring, loving teacher, someone with an open heart and a clear mind, eager to help us find our own way forward." --Seth Godin, author of Linchpin.

Broken hearts, resentment, affairs, divorce. Why is it so hard to make relationships work? New York Times bestselling author and mindfulness expert Susan Piver applies classic Buddhist wisdom to modern romance, including her own long-term relationship, to show that ancient philosophies have timeless—and unexpected—wisdom on how to love.

The Four Noble Truths of Love will challenge the expectations you have about dating, sex, and romance, liberating you from the habits, traumas, and expectations that have been holding back your relationships. This mindful approach toward love will help you open your heart fearlessly, deepen communications with your partner, increase your compassion and resilience, and lead you toward a path of true happiness. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain: expansive, real love for yourself and others.

“Susan Piver brings together decades of wisdom and experience from both her Buddhist practice and her relationships. This book is direct, insightful and honest to its core. Using the lens of the Buddha’s noble truths and the path of liberation, Susan presents a practical roadmap that can be accessed by anyone. I don’t think a book quite like this has been written before. She is definitely a wise guide on what it truly means to love altogether and how compassion and insight can be mined from the ups and downs of everyday life and every connection. Susan presents the biggest view possible on what love can be—it’s quite an invitation.”
Josh Baran, author of The Tao of Now: Daily Wisdom from Mystics, Sages, Poets, and Saints

“The Four Noble Truths of Love is like the book baby of the Buddha and Oprah Winfrey. It pulls no punches in the best of ways. Chock-full of relationship a-ha moments, it made me reflect not just on my marriage and how to keep deepening into it, but also on every loving relationship in my life. This wisdom may be thousands of years old, but Piver’s ability to convey it with grace, humor, humility, and profound relevance to modern life is a true gift. Get it, read it, live it!”
Jonathan Fields, founder of Good Life Project

“Susan Piver consistently offers what so many of us seek: A generous, caring, loving teacher, someone with an open heart and a clear mind, eager to help us find our own way forward.”
Seth Godin, author of Linchpin

“If you’ve ever felt that secret shame of not loving well or not managing to embody that perfect detached modern-day Buddha you know you’re supposed to be, this is not only your book, it is your salvation. Susan’s message, voice, and real world guidance show you the way out of the illusions and traps of relationship and into a level of freedom that is at once both profound and practical.”
Christine Kane, founder and CEO of Uplevel You

The Katrina Ruth Show

ABSOLUTELY Changed My Perspective of What Love Means, and Requires

June 15, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Nearly 2 years ago, I became single for the first time in over 15 years; leaving my second marriage after years of feeling stuck, unhappy, lost, and like I didn't know what's wrong with me or if love was even really available for me. I hate to admit it, but in the final few years of my last relationship, I had started to completely believe that being even a LITTLE bit happy in a relationship was not a 'real thing'. I viewed every relationship I encountered with mistrust, and assumed that both parties must be unhappy. As such, I was very bitter and also just deeply sad about love as a concept. It felt like an impossible dream.

Fast forward until now, and I have spent the past several years actively studying, growing, learning, and facing into my own flaws and uncertainties as well as limiting beliefs in this area. It's been an interesting journey, and incredibly reward, however it wasn't until I read Susan's book on the Four Noble Truths of Love that I for the very first time understood that the 'end goal' is not some perfect and never disruptive situation with another human being.

I can honestly say that my mind was expanded beyond what I believed possible with what Susan shares here, not only because it resonated and just felt RIGHT, but also because it allowed me to see that there's nothing wrong with me, when there are ups and downs and me being triggered or upset or feeling misunderstood in my current experience of love. I thought that everytime something felt like it wasn't working it meant I was wrong, or it was wrong! Now, I can see that it's about the dance. The ebb and the flow. And that even if things feel REALLY messed up, that doesn't mean it's not true love. It's not a reflection of me, OR my worth.

This is just such a tiny part of what I've gained from this book. The tools, suggestions, explanations, and guidance in here are priceless, and I am about to start reading all over again already. If you've ever felt misunderstood in love, deeply sad or frustrated, 'not good enough', or ANGRY at why things aren't the way you want, or if you just want to understand how to give and receive love in a way that you can believe in - read this book.

Susan has written straight from her heart to ours - practical, enlightening, funny and down-to-earth.

June 12, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Susan has written straight from her heart to ours. Using her own marriage and years of Buddhist learning/teaching/living, Susan shares her wisdom and experience to teach us about our own journey through love. If you're in an amazing relationship this book will very likely help you deepen it in ways you didn't realize possible. It has for mine. If you're in a crappy relationship this could help to make it better or make a graceful exit. Between relationships? You'll be so much better prepared for the next one. It's so practical, enlightening, funny and down-to-earth. Thank you again Susan. You just make the world easier to navigate.

Here is the Path to Reduce Suffering in Relationship

August 21, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Being in relationship with another person means conflict WILL arise. Fear, loss, loneliness, hurt, upset, expectations and unfulfilled dreams are a part of any relationship.

Learning out how to avoid suffering in relationship while experiencing these discomforts is a specific application of general wisdom on how to reduce suffering in painful/stressful situations and the Buddha dharma is powerful teaching anyone can practice and implement. Piven has a lovely warm and challenging approach to applying Buddhist wisdom and practices in love relationships.

Brilliant and practical.

... downs of relationships and to find more ease and joy. It is not a "quick fix"

June 14, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In this book Susan lovingly guides us to turn towards the innate ups and downs of relationships and to find more ease and joy. It is not a "quick fix", as she offers no magic relationship tactic, it is a path to accepting what is the natural ebb and flow when two people chose to partner together. The book leads us to open up to appreciating it all, learning to manage our own triggers and to see that the very nature of partnerships can be messy and flawed and joyfully intimate in the many imperfections. Susan's keen understanding of The Four Noble Truths enables her to bring Buddha's teachings to us for our lives today and the result is a deeper understanding for how to live and how to love.

Thank you Susan for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. Thank you for your time and energy and guidance. This book, coupled with a solid meditation practice (that I also learned from you!) has helped me to be a better partner, lover and friend.

A much needed gem!

June 15, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a fantastic book. I have read all of Susan’s books and find wisdom, humor, inspiration, and applicable tools in all she writes. This book tops them all! It is an elegant rendering of the Four Noble Truths to address the joys and sorrows of intimacy.
I am a Buddhist oriented psychotherapist and am always on the lookout for books to recommend to my clients who are struggling with relationship issues. I am thrilled to be able to suggest this book to all my clients.
Susan’s book goes far beyond the usual “how to” self-help guide - by inviting the reader to approach intimate relationships as a pathway to personal healing and wholeness.
