We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.

Learn how Buddhism, the fourth largest religion in the world, can help you deal better with suffering and also improve your mental capabilities like focus, empathy, etc. The truth is that everyone faces personal struggle as they navigate through life. It’s just inevitable. To not expect obstacles or suffering is as naive as not preparing for them. But what preparation can we do to deal with suffering? This is not exactly a new question we’re asking here. Eastern religion and spirituality have been providing us with many solutions for ages.

Too many people, men and women alike, have bought into a notion of leadership that exclusively emphasizes traditionally "masculine" qualities: hierarchical, militaristic, win-at-all-costs. The result has been corruption, environmental degradation, social breakdown, stress, depression, and a host of other serious problems. Nilima Bhat and Raj Sisodia show us a more balanced way, an archetype of leadership that is generative, cooperative, creative, inclusive, and empathetic.

Summary
Experience the Transformative Power of Tibetan Buddhism’s Gradual Path of Enlightenment
“Enlightenment is an unfolding process - open to everyone,” teaches Dr. Miles Neale. “However, in a culture that reduces, commodifies, and sensationalizes meditation, our challenge is to restore the depth, sophistication, and integrity of the complete spiritual path.” With The Gradual Path, Dr. Neale presents a seven-session audio course to immerse you in the teachings and practices of the Lam Rim - Tibetan Buddhism’s time-tested path for psychological maturity and awakening. Created as an audio companion to Dr. Neale’s book Gradual Awakening, this course brings you a guided experience in the traditional Lam Rim journey, updated with insights from science and psychotherapy to root each step in our modern experience.
Lam Rim - The Hero’s Journey of Awakening
With passion and eloquence, Dr. Neale reveals how the Age of Reason’s “enlightenment” that originally emerged to free us from dogma and superstition evolved into a dangerous new “sickness of paradigm” that has given rise to our precarious global situation. By combining healthy scientific inquiry with the timeless power of the Lam Rim path, Dr. Neale invites us to catalyze genuine and sustainable well-being, compassion, and liberation - both for ourselves and the world around us. This path is a “hero’s journey” that begins with our inherent state of suffering and separation, then takes us through each step of transformation to becoming fully human.
Do we need to become enlightened to make a difference in the world? “Though enlightenment is always here and possible,” teaches Dr. Neale, “what matters most is to focus on the next incremental step ahead of you and awaken gradually - becoming a more mature, aware, insightful, and loving human being. Even making one small Lam Rim step brings a little more light in the world and makes a giant leap for humanity’s evolution.”
A portion of the proceeds from this program will benefit the Buddhist nuns of Kopan Monastery in Nepal.

Tedious
As this is a non-fiction book I don't know why there is an option for story - that's why I gave it 1 because the story option is irrelevant.
I was attracted to this book because I watched an interview with Miles Neale and he was a good speaker. However the book is tedious, he doesn't seem to be very enamoured with the material himself which does not make a good experience for the listener.
It's a shame because the material is good but he kills it!
Check out Pema Chodron instead - she covers Tong Len in a much more interesting, engaging way. It's because of her it became a regular practice of mine.

I wish everyone could see how valuable this is.
As someone who’s familiar with lam-rim, I can attest that this is very meticulous work, to say the least. Never have I seen the path summarized so effectively and ACCESSIBLY. I would imagine it potentially being a lot to process at once for some but either way, my invitation is to sit with each chapter for a bit and/or cycle through the book more than once. I definitely see my self re-listening to this whenever I need a refresher. From what little I’ve seen in his recorded classes, I honestly think Dr Miles is super underrated. It’s in his nature to speak his truth, and send powerful, assertive messages which are sometimes at the expense of being disliked, or worse. Qualities of an authentic, unapologetic altruist.

A MUST Listen for Seekers
I can't get enough of this book and have listened to it full now 3x and certain parts more than I can remember. I've invited my family members in and we listen together and talk weekly about how it has positively impacted our lives and how we view others and the world. The practice encouraged and taught in this book has led to more peaceful living, improved wellness and acceptance that has benefited not only ourselves but those around us.
I embarked on my own meditation journey ~7 years ago and had found Dr. Miles Neale's Guided Contemplations on Loving Kindness & Mindfulness (available on Spotify) to be the most astute and practical compared to others. He became the cornerstone of my journey. His other meditations on Wisdom used to escape me but this book brings those meditations to light.
If you are a seeker and are not satisfied with the way you feel you're chasing your tail or skimming through life's surface then this book is for you. i recommend the audio version as it lends well to its interactive nature as you can pause and rewind and reflect and practice more easily.

A systemic failure.
This was actually the first audible book that I want to delete from my Library. I really tried to give it a chance but it was excruciating to hear the underlying bias of the author. This book disenfranchised my brain. And yes I have been practicing Buddhism for over 12 years and I am not a stranger to long winded explanations.
