Drawing from Hindu wisdom, Jay Shetty shares eight guidelines for practicing love in romantic relationships and beyond.

Romantic love is one of the most universally-recognized concepts across time periods and cultures.

In Western culture, countless movies and songs center on love. Yet many people have difficulty pinpointing their own definition of love, which can lead to challenges in practicing it.

Jay Shetty is a bestselling author, podcast host, and viral video creator who spent three years living as a Hindu monk.

In 8 Rules of Love, Shetty draws from concepts in the Vedas, the ancient scriptures of Hinduism, to offer practical guidelines for approaching relationships.

Shetty breaks love down into four stages – solitude, compatibility, healing, and connection – and provides insights, exercises, and meditations for each phase.
