This is a book about love. To be more exact, it is a book about how to become a more loving human being. How to love ourselves, our families, our communities, other human beings, and all of creation--more. It has been inspired by the writings of the contemporary mystic, Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook, usually referred to as Rav Kook.

Rav Kook teaches us that loving is primarily a spiritual experience. It flows from our souls. Or more exactly, it flows from the Source of the universe into and through our souls. Just as our heart naturally circulates blood throughout our body, so too our soul naturally streams love throughout our life. Loving is our most pure and natural state of being.
