Psicólogo y experto en relaciones, el Dr. Les Parrott proporciona un camino revolucionario al éxito en el desafío humano supremo: amar de verdad a las demás personas. Seamos sinceros. ¿Cuántas veces no has dado la talla como buen amigo, como padre o madre sabio/a, o como cónyuge abnegado/a, porque no has amado —amado de verdad— al más alto nivel? Es duro. Estamos sujetos al fracaso. El listón está demasiado alto, sobre todo si aspiras a amar como Jesús. Sin embargo, no es imposible. En este libro, el Dr. Parrott toma los últimos descubrimientos de la sociología y la psicología y los mezcla con el entendimiento bíblico para revelar formas prácticas y, con frecuentica, contraintuitivas de amar como nunca antes. Los desglosa en cinco factores —ser considerado, ser abordable, ser un dador de gracia, ser vulnerable y ser empático—, y muestra cómo practicarlos en la vida diaria. El resultado hará que te sientas profundamente realizado y que tengas relaciones significativas con casi cualquier persona con la que te encuentres, pero sobre todo en aquellas relaciones que más importan. Find the revolutionary path to success in the ultimate human challenge: truly loving other people. In this groundbreaking new book, #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Les Parrott weaves together insights from theology, psychology, and sociology to show ordinary believers how to radically change their relationships. Psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Les Parrott provides a revolutionary path to success in the ultimate human challenge: truly loving other people. Let’s be honest. How many times have you fallen short at being a good friend, a wise parent, or a self-giving spouse because you didn’t love--truly love--at the highest level? It’s tough. We’re bound to fail. The bar is so high, especially if you aspire to love like Jesus. But it’s not impossible. In Love Like That, Dr. Parrott takes the latest findings from sociology and psychology and blends them with biblical understanding to reveal practical and often counter-intuitive ways of loving like never before. He breaks them down into five factors--being mindful, being approachable, being a grace-giver, being vulnerable, and being empathetic--and shows how to practice them in daily life. The result will be deeply fulfilling and meaningful connections with nearly anyone you encounter--but especially in the relationships that matter most.
