With a Foreword by Paolo Coelho In her bestselling book Losses and Gains , Lya Luft draws on her own experiences of loss and gain in marriage and family to address the universal themes of childhood, love and maturity.
Luft\'s ardent Reflections on existence and the human spirit are a powerful reminder to us all: we have lost everything only when we believe we deserve less than everything still to be gained..
And as adults, she argues, the complex task of loving another depends, initially, on self-love and self-esteem.
As children, the unconditional love we receive from our parents determines our expectations for all the other forms of love we experience later.
She portrays love as the common thread through all phases of life.
