The Essence of Love

About the Book

It is human nature to desire things greater than one’s current achievements. For some, it is more wealth; others, fame and power; and there are those as well that seek love. For author Tendo Ane, he firmly believes that in spite of one´s financial and social status, if there’s no love, there is always some sort of vacuum in our hearts that longs to be filled. That’s why in this book, he shares just that—The Essence of Love. He hopes that this brings understanding to that which we long for, attaining and preserving it so that our beings may find peace and know contentment. The author has heard many different proclamations of love—almost every day, in fact. He knows you have done so, too. “I love you”, “She loves him”, “He loves me”, “I love that”, “We love it”, and other expressions of love are conveyed and shared every day. But what is love, why is this word often used, and is love good or bad, for when the things we love leave us or fade away, we tend to hurt. Is this somehow related to our way of life or philosophy on and about love? And that’s what the author wants to explore in this book.
