Love, actually, is more than hearts and roses.

Love has become a $27-billion industry--Valentine's Day, elaborate weddings, anniversary pressures, promposals, and more. Somewhere in the rush of Valentine's Day aisles and rom-com fantasies, we started believing that love is mostly roses and romance.

But real love has always been more expansive. The ancient Greeks identified many forms of love--deep friendship, family devotion, playful affection, unconditional care, even the love we hold for our communities and the wider world. And in a time when division keeps pulling us apart, rediscovering these forms of love matters more than ever.

The Little Book of Love Rituals helps us return to what love truly is: a daily practice.

In these pages, you'll find:

• The seven types of love, as described by the ancient Greeks, from agape to storge.
• 52 rituals designed to help you nurture connection--with yourself, with others, and with what brings meaning to your life.
• A new framework that both illuminates the timeless nature of love and helps readers recognize the many forms of love in their own lives.

Simple, grounding, and intentional, these rituals offer small moments of intention that strengthen the bonds that already surround you.
