Big Love

The Power of Living with a Wide-Open Heart
By Scott Stabile

What happens when you fully commit yourself to love? Endless good, insists author Scott Stabile, who found that out by overcoming plenty of bad.

Scott’s parents were murdered when he was 14. Nine years later, his brother died of a heroin overdose. Soon after that, Scott joined a cult that dominated his life for 13 years before he summoned the courage to walk away. Through it all, he became ever more committed to living his life from love.

In Big Love: The Power of Living with a WideOpen Heart, Stabile writes about these things and many other personal milestones in ways that are universally applicable, uplifting—and even laugh-out-loud funny. Whether trying (as we all must) to silence shame, show up for friends, or overcome dreaded what-ifs, Stabile’s personal experiences and personal development takeaways always return to love.
