Living the art of loving

This surprisingly quick read contains over 50 illustrations with a few carefully chosen words. It describes how to listen well, prepare for gatherings, manage conflict, and move through suffering towards connection. Lara Match uses her heartfelt design language of endearing figures, emotive swirls, and dotted outlines to show the patterns of poignant moments we encounter with others. A pictorial translation of Chiara Lubich’s The Art of Loving, this book offers techniques to create, elevate, and maintain our relationships at home, at work and with our best selves.
