In the majority of romance and relationship books on the market today, the endgame is attracting the romantic relationships we desire. But skill in the art of romance does not assure happiness. Love Life 101 shows how awareness of factors - such as who we truly are, why we are here, and how we are connected to each other - can make the difference between a meaningful love life and an often painful waste of time. Insights learned from hundreds of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the mystic perspective shared by spiritual luminaries of all religions, cultures, and eras reveal how our physical and spiritual realities are intertwined. We cannot properly understand our physical world choices if we are oblivious to the spiritual world context in which they arise. Awareness of this “bigger picture” helps us find our life partner, have a more graceful love life and reduce the level of pain and missteps we encounter. Love Life 101 creates a step-by-step guide for applying the profound benefits of NDEs and the mystic traditions in romantic relationships. A fundamentally important publication for anyone interested in improved relationships and personal fulfillment, Love Life 101 is a masterful guide that shifts the paradigm of the self-help romance and relationship market for the better.

The choices made by the entity during the course of a human lifetime determine the degree of spiritual advancement or regression that occurs. … Some people will continue to chase after material success, while others learn that “the purpose that will bring everything into true focus is to know God on an intimate basis.” Furthermore, the author believes that we must learn to distinguish the desires of the ego self from the more enlightened options guiding the “true self.” As the ego acts in self-interest, spiritual progress is inhibited …. According to Flynn, “Our true self, however, knows that it is eternal and connected to everyone else.” Inasmuch as Flynn’s worldview reflects an inclusive universe, he often refers to and quotes from the texts of multiple religions—Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity, to name a few. …[E]ach chapter of the book ends with questions that are aimed at helping readers evaluate their current circumstances and recognize their habitual behavior in relationships.
