Purchase options and add-ons

A man was sitting with his friends in a local inn. After a couple of drinks, he asked his friends, “Do you love me?” “Of course, we do,” they replied. “So do you know what I need?” No one answered. “If you don’t know what I need then how can you say you love me?” To love and to be loved is the most basic human need. No wonder we are attracted to people who give us attention, care about us, and love us. Yet, love also remains the greatest challenge in most relationships. Why? A Fistful of Love is a collection of insightful, thought-provoking nuggets of wisdom appreciated by millions around the world. This book is full of humour and narratives most beautifully woven into learnings of life that will make you stop and think. A must read.

    I have not finished this book as yet but it's fantastic so far. Every evening I read a story to my 2 kids (14 & 12) and we discuss it after. Each story is short and engaging. They both said they are loving the stories and they seem to understand pretty well. I am so grateful that I came to know about Om Swami and about his books. His words have the power to instill positivity in anyone who truly listens. I thank you! I do not hesitate to recommend this book. You will not regret!

    Verified Purchase
    Humans generally are good at learning and remembering things when they are given a context in the form of stories or anecdotes or circumstances. The author does a phenomenal job in imbibing us with core virtues required for a happy life by connecting those virtues with beautiful stories and anecdotes. The author never surprises me with the wisdom he has to share with this world. An easy read recommended for everyone irrespective of age. It is a beautiful book :-)

    Om Swami has a talent of breaking down complex spiritual concepts into digestible everyday learnings. Each chapter has a lesson to teach and each lesson has a strong logic, rationale and anecdote with it. It’s a wonderful read, highly recommended.

    Please don’t read it like a novel. Don’t gulp it in one go, rather sip it little by little to feel the flavour and digest the learnings.

    Some of the best insights and pearls of wisdom on how to nurture love. The book has unique and clear perspectives about few of the fundamental questions one might have relating to life, purpose, spirituality and faith.

    I continue to be amazed with enlightened master, Om Swami and his deep perspectives. His achievements and contributions to humanity at relatively young age is great!
