In this book, Ryuho Okawa reveals the secrets of spiritual growth based on his own real life experiences. Starting from practicing the "love that gives," instead of expecting something in return for what you have done to help others, Okawa argues in part one of the book, you can experience a remarkable transformation through your own self-help efforts to develop through the stages of love. In the second part of the book, readers can trace the path the young Okawa walked, starting from the ordinary, and reaching to an extraordinary height of love.

Ryuho Okawa is the founder of Happy Science, one of the fastest growing

religions in Japan. He is the author of over 3,100 books including The Laws

of the Sun, The Golden Laws, The Laws of Eternity, Invincible Thinking and

An Unshakable Mind.
