Publisher's summary

In a world where love is often seen as a magical, predestined event or a grand gesture, many find themselves facing unrealistic expectations and shallow connections. Hess challenges these notions by introducing the concept of “quiet love”—a simple, observant, and action-based approach to nurturing relationships. Hess explains how love is not just a feeling or attraction but a series of selfless actions that improve the life of someone you care about. He debunks the myth of “love at first sight” and emphasizes the importance of growth and effort in sustaining a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

Beautiful reminders of how our actions build up love

This audiobook is a marvelous reminder of how our actions are a huge contributor to creating everlasting love. We many times forget the efforts that we put into the beginning of a relationship and settle down for normality, but that in turn may be perceived as decreased effort after a while. This audiobook goes over ways for us to ensure that we continue to build up how we show love to each other.

A great use of 4 hours

This is something we could all use some help with. This audiobook gently nudges you toward great methods to keep love alive - and walk toward happiness. It's smart, caring, and a joy to listen to. Excellent narrator as well.

A much needed new perspective

The relationship advice space is filled with books on how to handle conflict, recover and heal from anxious or avoidant attachment styles, how to properly find and vet a partner. But little to no attention is given to how to have an actual supportive, healthy relationship. Maybe because so many of us are trying to find a way to fix our relationship patterns that so little is said about healthy ones. This book fills that important gap, and gives us a glimpse of what a healthy, supportive relationship can look and feel like. The focus on small, consistent effort is such a refreshing departure from the usual advice about grand gestures. I am excited to start implementing these tools to help nurture and grow my next relationship.

Excellent!
