Love radically!

Myths are shattering and illusions are shattering throughout this book. Fairytale princes, air castles and an ideal relationship do not exist. With the help of Veit Lindau’s personal story and the practices he suggests, you too can learn to love radically: Radical love is an active choice. It is your willingness to open yourself to another person with all your heart and common sense and to turn your relationship with him into a life-giving, mutually reinforcing space. Only a relationship with the other will allow you to become who you can be. If you want to know how strong, complex, wonderful and beautiful you really are, you need a partner. You have to open up to your fellow human beings. To surrender yourself completely to a relationship means that you look boldly into this mirror and you don’t run away from either the light or the shadow you see in it. To surrender completely means to peel off the invisible protective sheath that covers your entire body, woven from reservations, tactics, and masks, and you meet openly and honestly — with yourself, others, emotions, learners, unexpected surprises, love — all that . This book is for the sober fools who live among us. For those who know that they will die and that every moment of life is precious. For those who have nothing to lose because of that, except for the opportunity to do everything here and now. To those who, in spite of all the catastrophes caused by the human race on this planet, are foolish enough to believe in love unceasingly. For those who enjoy romance unscrupulously and are able to think sober. True self-surrender is not for skewered citizens. It requires an unbridled heart. You need it.
