How to Have More Love in Your Life

Epstein (How to Be Happier Day by Day) here offers suggestions to enrich our lives and imaginations, which will, in turn, he assures, make us more loving-and lovable. Not only romantic love is covered. The author sees the potential for love in many areas of life, including work, family, community, friendships and the spiritual ``unseen'' world. Written with warmth and humor, his exercises-arranged in a day-by-day format -range from commonplace (``Smile'') to profound and even controversial (``Pray for a miracle''; ``Discuss a hot political issue''), and are liberally sprinkled with whimsy (``Think of yourself as an animal''; ``Make a fool of yourself''). This unconventional self-help guide could be the perfect Valentine's Day gift for a parent, friend, child, even a lover. (Feb.)
