The Seeds of Love: Growing Mindful Relationships (click for larger version)
Foreword: by Thich Nhat Hanh:
Our role as gardeners is to choose, plant and tend the best seeds within the garden of our consciousness. Learning to look deeply at our consciousness is our greatest gift and our greatest need, for there lie the seeds of suffering and of love, the very roots of our being, of who we are. Mindfulness—itself a seed—is key to the care of this garden. It is the guide and the practice by which we learn how to use the seeds of suffering to nourish the seeds of love.
In The Seeds of Love Jerry offers a translation of various wisdom traditions as insights on how to take care of the —gardener—ourselves—and the garden—the soil of our consciousness. The mindfulness practices contained in this book are gardening tools that you will rely on again and again.
This is a book that will help anyone seeking to understand and nurture the seeds that create true love in self and others. Turn to these pages when you need a gentle reminder to tend the beautiful seeds of love that reside within.

Both down-to-earth and profound, this book explains how to be mindful of the garden of your life—and then out of kindness to yourself and others, pull weeds and plant flowers. Deceptively simple, it is actually a comprehensive guide to the seeds of true happiness and loving relationships. A lovely, wise, encouraging, first-rate book.
