{"product_id":"loving-yourself-by-richard-frost-mbe","title":"Loving Yourself by Richard Frost MBE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book explores how love for ourselves originates from Gods love for us, and asks how we can love ourselves in a way that is neither self-absorbed nor narcissistic. Richard Frost engages with both the head and the heart to discover what is appropriate self-care, wrestling with some of the issues and offering kernels of wisdom gleaned from his own experience and from other people, as well as signposting practical self-help. There is honesty and profound insight in this writing that draws on a wide knowledge of other writers and thinkers. The book touches on aspects of spirituality, identity and wellbeing, and explores the human condition: what will help us to make choices between good, better or best, balancing love of neighbour with love of ourselves? This book can be read comfortably at a single sitting, but it is also a book to linger with, to mine and to apply to daily living and spiritual practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Frost is a licensed lay minister, Benedictine Oblate and former mental health and employment specialist.
