ABOUT THE BOOK
Love and Suffering presents a profound interdisciplinary approach that crosses the boundaries of science and spirituality, perfect for those looking to deepen their understanding of Buddhism, Christianity, Mysticism, Yoga, Shamanism, and the human condition.
Let love and suffering have a wedding in your heart and they will give birth to joy.
What do the Buddha, Jesus, Nelson Mandela, St.John of the Cross, and Victor Frankl all have in common? They all found the courage to love this world even amidst intense suffering. Welcome to the ultimate guide to the great gurus of life: love and suffering. In this impassioned and informative work, love activist and spiritual leader Zach Beach takes you on an enlightened journey across world religions and spiritualities to find the unifying themes behind them all. The message is simple: If you want to know love, know suffering. If you want to know suffering, know love. The author masterfully weaves insights from his life and teachings with mystic poets, spiritual leaders, therapists, and psychologists. Inspiring without being dogmatic, and uplifting without being cheesy, Love and Suffering will help any seeker on the path of personal and spiritual transformation.

PRAISE FOR LOVE AND SUFFERING
“In his book, Zach Beach offers comfort through compassionate answers to some of our most difficult questions we ask about life. He masterfully blends his personal experiences and knowledge, with ancient literature in a way that makes even the most complex spiritual figures and concepts feel approachable. Anyone who is seeking spiritually, or finds themselves supporting or counseling anyone who is, will truly gain so much from this outstanding book.” -- Dr. Amelia Kelley, PhD, MS, LCMHC, ATR, CYT Co-Author of Surviving Suicidal Ideation: From Therapy to Spirituality and the Lived Experience
“With a seeker's heart and the mind of a poet, Zach illuminates the mysteries of love for a new generation. I am particularly thrilled to see teachings from the mystical traditions of east and west included here to offer depth and inspire practitioners. In an age of increasing confusion and psychological fragmentation, Zach is a trusted guide.” -- Dr. David M. Odorisio, PhD Core Faculty, Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA
“This is a book about suffering that exudes joy and compassion, offering us wisdom from many traditions. In this book Zach Beach is doing for the 2020s what Alan Watts did for the 1960s, giving us insights from Buddhism in a form Westerners can appreciate. And we need it now more than ever! Read it and you'll benefit not only yourself, but those you love as well.” -- Dr. Bruce Chalmer, PhD Author of "Betrayal and Forgiveness: How to Navigate the Turmoil and Learn to Trust Again"
