Activist, documentary filmmaker, and founder of the nonprofit Lunch on
Me, LaRayia Gaston offers inspiring and practical guidance for bringing
kindness, generosity, and love to a world in need.
If the world's problems feel overwhelming and making a difference seems
impossible, you're not alone. So many of us wish we could be doing
something good and purposeful, but we get stuck. We think that what we
do won't matter, or that we'll do it wrong, or that we don't have enough
time or resources to begin with. But caring about each other is a
natural instinct all humans have--what is it doing to our minds, bodies,
and souls to ignore this part of our humanity?
In Love Without Reason: The Lost Art of Giving a F*ck, Gaston shares
an inspiring and actionable guide to help us connect with our hearts,
reawaken our innate desire to make a difference, and then make that
difference in a way that not only helps others, but also nourishes our
own joy. Through Gaston's inspiring stories and practical guidance, you
will:
-Dismantle the blocks that stop you from reaching out to your fellow
humans--both personal fears and societal obstacles
-Learn how to help in a good way--a way that's needed, matches your
gifts, and feels uplifting for you and those you serve
-Create positive energy exchanges--the energy behind how we give is as
important as what we give
-Identify the places you can bring more kindness and caring into the
world--to your community, your loved ones, and yourself
-Reconnect with your natural instincts for empathy and service--and
experience the joy that arises when you do
-Explore a list of dozens of *micro-gestures--*simple, intentional acts
of caring for another person that can be done by anyone, anywhere, at
any time
Filled with profound heartwork exercises, journaling prompts, and
real-world practices, Love Without Reason helps you discover that
showing you care--showing you actually give a f*ck--doesn't have to be
difficult and isn't about sacrifice. It's about joy, and it's about
love.
