![Whatever Arises, Love That: A Love Revolution That Begins with You by [Kahn, Matt]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2Bsh-MrLRL._SY346_.jpg)
If you haven't been persuaded to buy the book by all the other 5-star reviews, then perhaps you have a skeptical mind like mine. Maybe you have an inclination towards rational argumentation, inquiry and critical thinking that makes a book all about "irrational" love seem off-putting. At the same time perhaps you have seen Matt Kahn on Youtube and found that what he was saying appealed to something within you, and sometimes even made perfect sense.
Well, my friend, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by reading this book. To prove my point, I just flipped open to a random page where Kahn writes, "...the doubt and skepticism many people had toward these [spiritual] topics made me feel like I was on the wrong planet" (33). It's clear to me, at least, that Matt isn't the only to feel this way. Many of us growing up in the world find that other people try to get us to agree to things that don't turn out to be true, so we become skeptics to protect ourselves from falsehood. At the same time there is part of us that feels drawn to topics traditionally reserved for "religion and spirituality," perhaps because of existential impulses or a desire to feel peace or express ourselves with joy and love (as when we were kids). Our doubting mind can be resistant to engage with these topics because it doesn't want to feel cheated later on if it "all turns out to be a bunch of lies."
For the skeptics, my advice is to focus on the things in the book that make perfect sense, and work up from there. For example, maybe you have had someone give you a compliment before and felt how nice it is, so that when Kahn writes about the "healing power of a compliment," it's very easy to see what he's saying and to begin practicing it. In my experience, after a while of working with simple loving practices like this one, the doubting mind becomes less resistant as something in you begins to open up again. Maybe in time we come to see that the power and experience of "unconditional love" is enough to make us realize that we don't need to justify why we love. It is "love beyond reason" because it transcends reason. Not a backward step but a forward one.
I hope that this finds you well, and that you become ever happier as you journey on. Love -- Paul
