The 5 Best Podcasts on Love

There are many different types of love, self-love, romantic love, obsessive love, unconditional love, enduring love or selfless love, among others. As a society we tend to focus mostly on romantic love, and in doing so, we may disregard the other types which can prove more fulfilling. The love of friendship can be founded on the virtues of reliability and camaraderie, which in turn helps us have a higher understanding of the self, others and the world around us. Familial love is one of dependability that is not anchored by our personal qualities. Selfless love can be defined as a type of altruism, a love that transcends our inner circle and is about a broader scope of nature and good will. Insight into love can be illuminating as one continues on their journey to self awareness. Here are 5 podcasts that provide some food for thought on this topic:
