Love
No one can resist a truly loving person, and when one understands the art of living he has learned that in loving everything he does he not only brings joy to his own heart, but he becomes a magnet that draws others to him.” —Lao Russell Written for teenagers, over the years Love has appealed to readers of all ages. Though this historic book is written from the viewpoint of the decade in which it was published — the 1960′s — and may appear somewhat “out-of date” to the modern reader, the basic life-principles of which Lao Russell writes are unchanging.
Lao Russell envisioned that youth’s greatest challenge is to create a new age of character. “Youth is a time for progressive thinking, acting and growing. Working constructively with Natural Law, you can give birth to a bright New Age. … Working together, with love, toward the single purpose of a better way of life, we cannot fail to give birth to the greatest age ever known in the history of mankind – an Age of Character.” Part I & II: Love’s Phantasy; How to Attract Romance; Victory Over Guilt and Frustration; The Magic Power of Sex; Why Many Teenage Marriages Fail; The Secret of Holding Romance; True Love; The Vital Role of Youth Today; On Building a Bright New Age of Character. Part III introduces Lao Russell’s inspired International Age of Character Clubs, which continue to flourish around the world today, particularly in Nigeria, thirty years after she first presented the idea to the world in her book Love.

Lao Russell combines the spiritual, social and relationship aspects. This is a deep book and gives the scientific answers for what love is. It may seem a little dated, but actually still fully relevant for today. I really appreciated that she is able to draw a connection between practical and spiritual. Most can only do either.
