Cultivating Our Passionate Attachments (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

This book offers a theory of how we can actively cultivate our passionate attachments. The author argues that not only do we have reason to view passionate attachments as susceptible to growth, change, and improvement, but we should view these entities as amenable to self-cultivation.
