The Science, History, and Art of Universal Love
By Taylor Oliphant · Complete first edition · HTML, EPUB, PDF, and digitally narrated audiobook · free
Short description
Metta Practice is a concise, evidence-informed guide to loving-kindness mental training for people seeking less stress, better mood, less self-criticism, and more positive connection. It teaches one portable method in four movements—find it, strengthen it, expand it, return to it—while documenting the research and its limits.
Author
