The Courage to Love Yourself

The beloved book that will change your life too
by Arnina Kashtan

What prevents billions of us from being in a natural, open and loving?
Why is the common default in most relationships to judge others and especially ourselves?
And how do you get out of this multi-generational trap?

In this book, Arnina Kashtan, who’s “been there” and found the way out, brings an original and fresh perspective on this painful issue.

By reading the book
you will go through an exciting journey to peel away the layers that separate you from your full self, you will discover practical and empowering ways to increase the repertoire of getting closer to yourself, and in a practical and conscious shaking off of the fabric of generations, you will be surprised to see how love (to who you are… and to others…) is revealed in all its splendour – or returns to bloom.

The book "The Courage to Love Yourself" is not just another book.

Certainly not one that will stay on the shelf.

Because it’s a rare concentrate of heart-expanding insights, love, and awakening, all interwoven with remarkably practical tools – which leads to a surprising and deep encounter with our magical ‘self’ and to an exciting, courageous, and life-changing personal journey –
to accept ourselves as we are! (and that’s a lot!!!)

Arnina challenges generations of social indoctrination:
that loving yourself is “egotistic”, that standing up for your needs is selfish, and that conformity is better than authenticity.

Kashtan’s radical counterargument is that this social mindset is at the root of our suffering – trapping us in a cycle of deep unfulfillment, people-pleasing, guilt, anger, and stress.

Through the 10 Acts of Love included in this book, each one challenging another socially induced area, you are offered a path to discover, soften and transform these stuck placesby reclaiming your power of Choice.

Here are 5 of them:

Connecting to Myself

Daring to slow down and navigate repeating unpleasant situations with your innate needs-based wisdom

Being Loyal to Myself

Not flinching from your own truth in spite of the automatic self-judgment or fear of rejection

Self-Care

Learning to care for this precious person – You… embrace your humanness beyond the “right wrong” socially- induced expectations

Opening the Heart

Takes you on a most unexpected route with those most tormented relationships… sometimes all the way to loving yourself…

Being Grateful

Yes, there is a lot to be grateful for, with tens of tiny-huge achievements despite the pull of the self-negation familiar patterns!

In this book, like in all of Arnina’s teachings, you will encounter the combination of a big picture vision & inspiration with detailed and practical applications –
all of which will accompany you along your own liberation journey.

Arnina provides profound and effective tools to meet yourself where you are and gently grow towards your authentic self. This wise and well-written book will show you how.
Read it, apply it, and your life will change.

What People Are Saying

“

"Arnina, your words touched me deep inside.

As someone who has driven herself for years in patterns and habits of reward and punishment, of ‘should’, ‘must’, and ‘how am I supposed to behave’, I find myself in recent years looking at the prices I am paying for these patterns... I hold on to your empowering, simple and clear words, which light my way to face the forces of darkness.

I wish for myself to be attentive to myself, loyal to myself, and to love myself and accept myself as I am. Thank you."

Dorit

"Dear Arnina,
I cherish you and your ability to tug at my heartstrings.

Reading your detailed and accurate stories and practices with eagerness, I realize to what depths you can reach in understanding yourself and the people who meet you.

Thank you very much for who you are and the uniqueness you bring to the world.

With huge love."

Ella Zucker

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the greatest and most useful gift I have received in my lifetime, which of course I "agreed to accept" (inspired by the title of Chapter Six…). I found myself this weekend reading your wonderful book in one breath.
Like you, I also thank the "universe" for leading you to write this book. Your fluid, clear writing and your crystalized words entered me and my soul. You really made me learn to love myself and decide that from today I will start to conduct myself responsibly, living with flow,
self-acceptance, and compassion towards myself.

I am sure that the life of everyone who reads this will change!"

Iris K.

“I left everything and read everything eagerly until the end of the book without stopping.

You made me look at things that annoy me from a different point of view... and hocus pocus, I am much more patient to listen... amazing. I really, really love myself!!! Including all the flaws that I try to improve in me.

I feel that a big window has opened in me to receive love, support, and whatnot from those around me. Thank you, thank you"

Irit K.

“Stunning!!!

And as I continued to read, at first every paragraph and later almost every word - I met more and more characters who came in front of me and were revealed from my ancestors, from the children's home, from the beginning of loneliness...

So chilling and deeply touching. Thanks!”
