Product Description
In a refreshingly honest investigation of the true nature of love, don Miguel Ruiz brings to light the commonly held fallacies and misplaced expectations about love that permeate most relationships. In the tradition of Carlos Castaneda, he uses inspirational stories to impart the wisdom of three fundamental Toltec masteries (Awareness, Transformation, and Love). The themes explored include the Toltec wisdom of the heart, the track of love, and the war of control.

 A new look at love November 20, 2008
I think The Mastery of Love is an extremely important contribution to partners and parents. I like to listen to Miguel Ruiz's work (this book and the Four Agreements) on audiobook because they are short and to the point. I enjoy discovering new tips each time I hear it.
As I was listening to Mastery of Love, I realized that pure and unconditonal love was so simple to attain, yet I do not know a single person or couple who loves this completely. We all have implants of shame, guilt, criticism and other manipulations attached to our love.
Learning this for ourselves will not only improve our relationships with our partners, we will teach our children how to love themselves first and it will be reflected back to them for their entire lives. It is time to change the fear-based ideology we call "love" and tap into the well-being and peace that comes naturally from within. This book is a fantastic starting point.
It reminds me of this quote, "Even after all this time, the sun never says to the Earth, 'you owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that: It lights the whole sky." This is the kind of love you are working toward when you start studying The Mastery of Love. Best wishes!

This small, simple little book is filled with an abundance of insightful life lessons that can direct you onto the path of living a spiritually rich life. "The Mastery of Love", by Don Miguel Ruiz, is a practical guide on the art of forming a relationship. From Ruiz's perspective, relationship building is indeed an art form.
Ruiz divides his spiritual journey into three different areas of emotional awareness. The first is the `Mastery of Awareness', whereby he looks at relationship from the perspective of freedom. He suggests that relationship can only thrive and develop through a sense of freedom and truth. The second is the `Mastery of Transformation' , in which the author encourages the development of spiritual awareness. Finally, the author examines the `Mastery of Love' suggesting that the road to true happiness and truthful expression of the mind, body, and soul is the expression of love. As the author delves into each of the three major tenants of his approach, it becomes clear that love and relating to one another can be a simple journey of self awareness and the willingness to embrace love.
The spiritual journey in this book reminds me of my favorite authors on the topic of pursuing happiness and self expression. Ariel and Shya Kanes' book "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life" is an incredible book dedicated to pursuing a fulfilling and meaningful life through awareness and transformation. I have taken their workshops in New York City. Their approach has truly shifted the qualitative experience in my life and how I interact within all of my relationships. You can check out their books and workshops on Transformationmadeeasy.com
I suggest you check out the books by Ruiz and the Kanes and read them back to back! Both will help enrich and enliven the way you interact with life and with other people!

Don Miguel Ruiz's Mastery of Love is a must read for anyone who is looking to apply Toltec wisdom to their relationships. I rank this right up there with the Castaneda tradition.
 Great companion for the Four Agreements November 1, 2008
A great read every time and excellent when read in conjunction with The Four Agreements.
Toltec Wisom - The Mastery of Love September 14, 2008
This book is really right on. It shows you how to apply The Four Agreements to any relationship. It's very enlightening and written in an easy to understand fashion. The audio version of this book is great too.
