HONORYOURSELF

The Inner Art of Giving and Receiving

Embracing the Power of Paradox in Your Life

Honor Yourself: The Inner Art of Giving and Receiving by Patricia Spadaro skillfully guides us through one of the key paradoxes—and stressors—of our time: how to balance what others need with what we need, how to give and to receive.

Should I sacrifice for others or give to myself? Be generous or draw boundaries? Stay in a relationship or say goodbye? Tensions like these are not only a natural part of life—they are life.

While modern society is ill-equipped to bring us back into balance, the sages of East and West are experts, and Honor Yourself explores their practical, and surprising, advice. Combining wisdom from the world’s great spiritual traditions with real-life stories and a treasury of tools, it exposes the most potent myths about giving—half-truths that prevent us from living a life filled with possibility and passion.

With candor, compassion, and a bit of humor too, Spadaro shows us how to move beyond the myths to the magic of full-hearted living so we can unleash the full power of our creative spirit and give our greatest gifts to our loved ones, our communities, and the world.

We are called to master the delicate dance of giving and receiving in virtually every area of our lives, and this beautiful work offers empowering and heartfelt ways to do it. It will free you to celebrate your own gifts and greatness as you explore the dynamics behind

• giving with the heart rather than the head
• setting boundaries and being honest about unhealthy people in your life
• using feelings to stay true to yourself
• learning when to seek support or fly solo
• finding your own voice
• honoring endings, and much more.

Just as importantly, Honor Yourself will teach you the steps for staying in balance. For when you learn the steps, you can perform the dance—and that’s when the magic begins.
