Are you a person who wants to bring more love into your life? Have you had enough of feeling resentment toward someone who did not treat you well or make much effort in the relationship? In Love and Suffering, internationally renowned, award-winning author and professor Anthony Silard offers a revolutionary new paradigm for overcoming the Four Obstacles to love (suffering, resentment, judgment and "incarceration") and embracing love in your life.

In Love and Suffering, Dr. Silard overturns much of what our cultures have taught us about love, forgiveness and gratitude. Here are some of the counterintuitive principles you will learn:
- The suffering you've experienced in your life can enable you to love more deeply.
- Forgiveness isn't as kind as you think. While it is kind judgment, it is still judgment. You can't forgive someone unless you have first judged them.
- Whatever you do not learn to love in your life, you will repeat.
- Your happiness emanates from how, in your mind, you construct your relationships.
- Whatever you judge, you already are or will become.

Filled with inspiring, entertaining stories of ordinary and extraordinary people working through life's most difficult challenges, Love and Suffering is the state-of-the-art guide to creating a life filled with love for the twenty-first century.
