Loveability: Knowing How To Love And Be Loved

Product Information

I believe that love is the real work of our life. We are here not just to find love, but also to be a loving presence in the world. The more we love, the better life gets. Love is the heart of success. If your definition of success doesn’t include love, get another definition! All the happiness, health and abundance you experience in life comes directly from your ability to love and be loved. Robert Holden is the creator of a unique program on love called Loveability, which he teaches worldwide. He has helped thousands of people to transform their experience of love. Here, heweaves a beautiful mix of timeless principles and helpful practices about the nature of true love. With great intimacy and warmth, he shares stories, conversations, meditations, and poetry that have inspired him in his personal inquiry on love. Key themes include:

My PhD research project concerns the embodiment of AI for the purposes of companionship, and the wider techno-companion industry. Examining both the production and use of humanoid techno-companions – such as care-assistive, corrective, or sexual robotic technologies – my research questions capacity-making in relation to love, alienation, exploitative labour, disability, and necropolitical debilitation. I coin the eponymous term 'Loveability' to refer to the construction of a subject as loveable (deserving of protection and care), the implications of love as a political practice (a force of communal liberation), and the limits of love as an affective experience (such as whether humans can love unreciprocating objects). Applying this theory of loveability to the design of techno-companions, the operations of the techno-companion industry, and the affective experiences of techno-companion users, my project offers a rigorously critical analysis of forms of embodied AI. In 2007, I made my first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. I nearly declined the offer as my daughter Bo was only a few weeks old. I’m glad I said yes! I’m an official contributor to Oprah.com– where you can find lots of my articles. I Can Do IT! Conferences I am a devoted Robert Holden fan and have fallen madly, deeply for his new book! It teaches us the most important thing we can do— give and receive love. Robert will help you open your eyes so you can open your heart and create a life full of joy and love. Everyone—and I do mean everyone—should read this life-uplifting book.” In 2005, I was appointed team coach to the leadership team at Dove & The Real Beauty Campaign. I coached Sylvia Lagnado, President of Dove, from 2005-2007, and also her successor, Fernando Acosta. My Success Intelligence team and I delivered leadership programs to Dove teams in Japan, North America, Europe and the UK between 2005 and 2008. Loveability In 1996, I met Tom Carpenter, my mentor. Tom is the author of Dialogue on Awakening. He’s the creator of The Forgiveness Network. Together, we made a DVD called Dialogue on Forgiveness. I dedicated my book Holy Shift! to Tom. I thank God everyday for Tom’s presence in my life. Writing Happiness NOW!

Loveability teaches you to listen to the voice of love in your heart. It helps you to forgive the past, to live in the present, and to make love more important than fear.” Loveability is my meditation on how to love and be loved. The heart of this project is a series of public workshops (see below) that explore the art and science of true love. I’ve authored two books on the theme of love: Loveability (Hay House 2013), and Life Loves You, co-written with Louise Hay (Hay House 2015). I’ve also published articles on loveability with The Daily Love, Oprah.com, and HealYourLife.comIn 2013, I gave a PBS lecture on Shift Happens! The lecture was broadcast in over forty states in North America. This was definitely a career highlight. I hope I get to do another one day. University of Santa Monica
