The Premise
There are Four Enemies that are obstacles to a happy, fulfilled life. One is visible.
The other three concern our feelings and our tendency to self-obsess. The answer to all is found in love.
Love is a hugely powerful tool, but it's more complicated than we might suppose.

Enemy 1: The Outer Enemy
- These are the "people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us"
- They are the partner who cheated on you, the boss who gave you a warning, or the rain that soaked you to the skin.
- When dealing with all manifestations of the Outer Enemy, the advice is an old one: love them, and meet hate with love, and enmity with kindness.

Enemy 2: The Inner Enemy
- Anger, hatred, and fear are those emotions that poison our soul.
- There are three forms of patience: tolerant, insightful, and forgiving.
- Patience is recognizing the capacity that we all have to just grin and bear it, and appreciating how resilient you are.
- Forgiving patience is to forgive anyone who harms us, no matter in what way.

Enemy 3: The Secret Enemy
- Our inner voice defines how we orient ourselves to the world.
- Those who are self-centered experience a "subjective fluctuating happiness," while those who are more selfless experience "authentic-durable happiness," which means a deep "contentment and plenitude or inner peace."

The Super-Secret Enemy
- This is the voice that settles for mediocrity, and which sees life as a sad collection of misfortunes, with a few laughs if you’re lucky.
- The source of this self-loathing is, in some ways, the Secret Enemy. The more preoccupied we are with ourselves, the more we obsess over private happiness.

All You Need Is Love
Love is the single panacea for all four enemies: it wants what is best for others, and so defuses the Outer Enemy, love is what forgives and accepts and serves as the antithesis of the Inner Enemy: anger, hatred, and fear, love sees others not in terms of what they can do for you but from their point of view, and helps and supports others, which undoes the Super-Secret Enemy

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
