Summary

A book to encourage compassion and forgiveness, showing us how we can work towards a better and kinder world.

Description

The modern world is richer, safer and more connected than ever before but it is - arguably - also a far less loving world than we need or want: impatience, self-righteousness, moralism and viciousness are rife, while forgiveness, tolerance and sympathetic good humour can be in short supply.
This is a book that rallies us to remember how much we all long for and depend on love: how much we need people to forgive us for our errors, how much everyone deserves to be treated with consideration and imagination and how being truly civilised means extending patience and kindness to all those we have to deal with, even, and especially, those who don't naturally appeal to us.
With the right encouragement, all of us are capable of immense kindness. But without it, we can also quickly descend into something far darker. This book reminds us of our better natures and mobilises us to fight for the kinder, more loving world we essentially long for at heart.
Throughout, it frames love not as a romantic, idealistic fantasy, but as a hugely serious and dignified force that can save us from meanness and strife, defend us against chaos and usher in hope and courage.

Critic Reviews

“"This is one of those reads that I will always look back to ... when feeling love is at its rock bottom." - NetGalley review "[A] brief, insightful book on the nature of love and our central role in creating a more loving world. As a person who values compassion (and self-compassion), this book provided an opportunity for validation that true love matters. I am grateful to see a focus on a more universal and unconditional love. It's not easy, but when we learn to love more authentically, we make it possible for others to do the same (and we change the world in the end.)" - NetGalley review”

"A More Loving World reminds us how much humankind longs for and depends on love ... A charming and empowering read." - Lily Pagano, Reaction
