"8 HABITS OF LOVE"

Guest: Ed Bacon

Ed Bacon joins Allen to discuss his new book which explores how every person can live a full and creative

life if they can learn to move through troubling emotions such as fear, anger and sadness to find the

"beloved" within themselves and in others. 8 HABITS OF LOVE shows readers how to create a full, meaningful

life by developing simple habits -- stillness, truth, forgiveness, compassion, play, candor, generosity, and

community by asking such important questions as: How do I know I'm living the life I should be? How do I

forgive those who have hurt me? How do I talk candidly with difficult people? How do I best help others when

they need it? And How do I let go of the past and move forward. Listen and hear the answers to those

questions and more!
