Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It
Kamal Ravikant · 2012 · 227 pages
Kamal Ravikant knows misery well. In 2011, the company Kamal had spent the last ten years of his life nurturing and growing, suddenly and embarrassingly went under. He experienced a profound depression, the kind that made him physically ill and bedridden. The only source of light in this darkest moment was a meditation, a chant that came to him and provided the only source of comfort he could muster: I love myself.
Kamal began his transformational journey by repeating this over and over to himself. I love myself. I love myself. I love myself. Even when he didn't believe it (especially when he didn't believe it).This meditation grew in the form of a system of tools for keeping him positive, balanced, and moving forward. Kamal's spiritual healing changed his physical and emotional states, and his entire person shifted for the better.
Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It is the powerful story of Kamal's radical self-growth journey and his specific practice for readers. Dynamic, vulnerable, page-turning and ultimately life-changing, these pages hold a universal appeal for anyone who has ever struggled to get out of bed in the morning or smile through profound sadness.

“My brother wrote it, so I'm biased. But it's brilliantly written.”↗

Chris Williamson
“A short, 100-page read on why loving yourself is so important. Very easy to read and digest. Includes immediately actionable tasks and advice for how to implement these strategies. The new extended edition has a heartbreaking example at the end of the book taken from Kamal’s own life. Very moving. Non-Fiction 22”↗
