Comments and Reviews of 'What is Love? from readers around the world
Hi, about your book, I finished reading it two weeks ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it.
I don't have a partner right now and read 'What is love?' from that perspective. I learned so much from it! I read it at night, in bed, and seriously, there were times when I couldn't wait to go to bed, because I wanted to learn more. It taught me a lot (!!!) about myself that I didn't know yet and it
gave me an insight in what went wrong in former relationships too. I mean it when I say that I think everyone should read your book. I once read 'The Power of Now' and I think it is as life changing for myself & others to read that book, as it is to read yours. Thank you so much!
What I liked most, were the parts in which you gave examples of your own life & relationships. That's something that makes it easy to relate to and gave me the idea that I'm not the only one making 'mistakes' in love.
Thank you again, I think it was meant to be to meet you and get a copy of this book.Martine, Company Manager (Marketing), Netherlands
I want to thank you for the wonderful book you have written, "What is Love?" A few weeks ago a new friend gave me your book and I have to say that it turned out to be one of the best books I've read about love and spirituality in a long, long time.
Looking back now, I understand that my past relationships were all ego driven, therefore I never experienced true love until recently, when I finally made the journey back into my heart again. It's not easy letting go of the ego, and I'm still learning and practicing the "letting go" on a daily basis.
I wish I could meet you and discuss this issue in depth, however, for now I just want to thank you again for helping me "return home".Katherine, Yoga Teacher, Canada
I have been reading lots of books about the topics you are covering in "What is love?".
Your book is definitely one of the best structured, most comprehensive and less biased of all of them. On top, it is short, comes to the point and is written in an easy-to-understand manner.
I am very happy that I recently found it on Koh Samui. It has already helped me in my thinking, living and healing myself. I am very much looking forward to the second book.
I wish you all the best, you have helped me a lot.Joe, IT consultant, Denmark
I read your book last week after going through a break up with someone I really cared for. He said he needed time to himself, to sort himself out. I could not understand why. I felt it was an excuse, but I also knew part of the reason lay with me.
Your book rocked me to the core. I realized how little of love I knew. I could've been your case study. I exhibited all the irrational behaviors and thought patterns you outlined in many chapters.
I was not supportive and understanding, always demanding that he made time for me and asking, subconsciously, for his love and attention, and placing my own expectations on him, and projecting into the future a young 5-month-old relationship.
I realized, after 13 years of failed relationships that I had come no closer to knowing how to handle my feelings and my partners. Every relationship that failed, I pinned the blame on the other person.Looking inward is difficult when you do not have guidance.
Thank you again for writing such a wonderful book. I am thankful that I have come closer to knowing my weaknesses. It is a good step forward. I just wish I had read your book earlier.
I am certain your book will touch many souls, and help many on their paths to discovering more about themselves and improving their relationships, all over the world. I will highly recommend it to anyone I feel needs some direction. Thank you.

In his book ‘What is Love?, Frank Vilaasa shows us how to align brain, heart and soul to achieve higher levels of love. The book gives clear, constructive checklists for how to recognize our illusions about love, and how to break free from stuck patterns.
Written for health professionals and for lay people, the advice on how to grow into a more loving person by practicing awareness, acceptance and affirmation will be easy for anyone to follow.
The book ‘What Is Love?’ is an amazing work, inspired by someone who is obviously dedicated to the higher principles of love is his life and work. Frank Vilaasa shows us how to reach inner freedom by keeping body, mind and soul full of inspirational love. It has inspired me in my work and my life.

Thank you for writing the book. I was in June’s café in Koh Samui... and when I walked in, the book was calling for me - two times!
So I picked it up... Your book came to me by no coincidence - I was asking my Guru/Universe for help on life in general, and partnerships in particular.
Thanks to your book, I am taking the courage not to go back to full time work. I don’t want to spend more time in the corporate world and have my energy stuck there! I practice Tibetan Buddhism, and have always struggled with the right thing imposed by society/tradition and the thing my heart wanted. We are all guilty about it - not being true to ourselves! That day, after reading the last 2 chapters for the second time, I married myself---- ha! yes-- I made a commitment to myself that I will always remain true to the truth in my heart. That I shall at least listen to it and what it has always wanted to tell me. It was a really sacred moment for me, because touching the Core, or Self, is no different from touching the Buddha Nature within.
I just want to share this with you because this is what reading your book has done for me. For if we are not able to first truly love ourselves, how can we love another or another love us?
So thank you, ‘What is Love’ certainly touched me in one of the most fundamental ways. It is my prayer that you can complete the second book, and please let me know when it is out.
The book is so good, I want to share it with my friends, so I am ordering more copies
Love and prayers

I am writing this to say that I have read the book, "What is Love?" and it has already started to make a difference to the way I view love, relationships and life itself.
I was just in a relationship and could relate to portions of the book, and can understand why we were not meant for each other.
I am going to read the book again (and again lol) to get more out of it, as it cannot possibly be grasped all in one read. It has made me look at myself and reflect on past relationships and understand were things went wrong.
I am going to put the ideas and suggestions into practice for myself and see where it takes me. I look forward to living in the NOW, and that the future will take care of itself.
I have to say that I know how to live the "one day at a time" way, as I am clean and sober since the 28-1-1994. I look forward in anticipation to the next book.

An amazing book on a subject that everyone struggles with from time to time in life....WHAT IS LOVE?
If you have ever asked yourself this question or had challenges in understanding the journey into love..this book is for you! The author lovingly guides you through the first four chakras and relates them back to this fundamental question of love. He does this in a very direct and easy to understand manner that will have you looking within for your own answers rather than having him fill in the blanks for you.
A second reading of the book will take you even deeper on your journey. Frank Vilaasa writes from the perspective that we all need to answer this question ourselves, and provides a framework to guide us into finding our own understanding. He shows us how to recognise what gets in the way of the love that we already are, and transform it. I think everyone can learn something from this exceptional work and I recommend it most highly.
This book is an excellent trailblazer helping us navigate back home to our true inner nature.Sam, Spa and Management Consultant, USA
Reading "What is Love?" has inspired the truth and wisdom of my heart to be acknowledged at a deeper level, and in fact is right in sync with the very core issues that my spirit has wanted to address.
I come from a corporate back ground of a global company and it has for many years consumed my life and robbed me of intimacy with myself and others. Fortunately I have always had a strong connection to my sprit and have continued to personally evolve. I made a decision 4yrs ago to walk away from the day to day running of the company and retrain as a therapist.
I have never really experience joy living in the city as it does not align with my sensitive nature and this trip away to Ko Samui once again awakened me to how my heart sings when it is moving to the rhythm of nature and light. Your words about corporate life, fear, trust, courage and understanding are all things I’ve known, yet have allowed my mind to put them side as it hooks into fear. I said to a friend recently I wonder how strong the pain will have to get before I'm forced to leave city life? Hopefully I have woken up in time to make a conscious decision.
The syncronicity of buying your book and your words of wisdom have inspired courage in me to embrace a new life path fills my heart.
Ever grateful for your courage to write a book that inspires greatness in souls.

The heart is the doorway to the divine.
Love is a by-product of truth. Look for truth and you will find love
Relationships are the most challenging, fun and dynamic path to knowing who you are
The heart and soul will never be satisfied with the material things of life. Focusing too much on material success, and ignoring the heart, is bound to lead to suffering
Love is the energy that connects us to other people and to life itself.
If love is a rose flower, then sex is the sap that rises up from the roots of the rosebush, and brings the flower to bloom
When difficulties arise in a relationship, it doesn’t mean something has gone wrong. They are there to challenge us to learn some valuable lessons. I often tell my students ‘When it’s bad, it’s good!’
The heart contains a greater wisdom than the head
Love is not something that we have – it is something that has us

from the Preface
‘Whether we know it or not, we are all spiritual beings. The spiritual journey consists of removing the barriers that prevent us from fully realizing this.’
