About Author:

Before talking about “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It Summary” let’s first talk about the book’s author Kamal Ravikant. Ravikant says that he is been fortunate enough to have some amazing experience in his life by trekking to one of the highest base camps in the Himalayas, he meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama’s Monastery,  he earned his US Army Infantry patch and also walked 550 miles across Spain, lived in Paris and he is been the only non-black, non-woman member of the black women’s writers group, he has written a novel and also worked with some of the best people in silicon valley.

Overview:

As we all know that the fundamental ground upon which all self-improvement is build and based is called self-love, because at the end, no matter which way you take if you don’t love yourself you will for sure sabotage your life at one point, because when person doesn’t love themselves they start getting into depression and sadness and that depression becomes the biggest reason for their life destruction, when you don’t love yourself you start believing that you don’t have what you desire because you are not worthy enough and when you have such thinking then why would you try to achieve something good in your life and this lack of self-love will become the biggest reason of your lives failure, In this book author says that we should love ourselves like our life depends on it, we make so many judgment about ourselves, sometimes we make it consciously and we don’t even realize that those negative judgment about ourselves can destroy our lives happiness,   hence in this book will show you some ways through which you can learn to love yourself and author of this book also shares his personal experiences.

Author says that he had spent some miserable days of his life, and those days were miserable because of his mind, he used to just lie in his bed, and days used to slide into nights and back to days, he just never wanted to deal, he used to ignore his thoughts feelings, he used to never deal with his feelings thoughts, emotion, he used to avoid dealing with his life.

One day he reached his breaking point, he wasn’t able to take it more, he was done with his misery, with his pain, with is not so cool attitude , hence he decided to overcome all this ignorance and sick behavior, he decided to climb out of his bed and he removed his diary and wrote in that diary that he vows to himself that from today onwards he will start loving himself truly and deeply, he promised himself that he loves himself- in his actions, thoughts, choices he makes and the experiences he will have, each moment he will love himself, THAT written note changed the entire life of Ravikant.

Author has shared three practices in his book. Which helped him to return to self-love let’s understand those practices in detail.

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It Summary First Practice:

Mental Loop

Author says that we as a human beings think that we are thinking but that’s not true, most of the time we are remembering things, we re-live memories, we run through familiar patterns and loops in our minds, author says that we have loop for everything, for fear, for procrastination, for sadness, for dreams, for desires, loop is there for everything.

The author here asked us to imagine a thought loop as this: suppose there’s a pathway laid down by the constant use. Like a way or groove ( a long narrow cut) is done on a rock by water. Enough time, enough intensity and you have got the river.

Author says that if you have a thought in your mind for once, then it won’t have much power over you, but if you repeat that same thought again and again especially with emotional intensity by feeling it, then by this repetition you create the grooves in your mental river, then it will have control over you.

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It Summary Third Practice:

One Question

Author says that it is quite easy to tell yourself that you love yourself when you are in one room and recovering from being sick, but it becomes difficult when you walk out the room and face the real living world,  it becomes tougher when you interact with other people and when others have their own issues and mental loop.

Hence author says that when you deal with other people and with their negative emotions ask yourself one question “ IF I LOVED MYSELF SO TRULY AND DEEPLY, WOULD I LET MYSELF EXPERIENCE THIS.?

When you ask such question then answer will for sure come no.
