Lessons In Loving In The Little Prince follows the storyline of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, showing how the little boy who grows up to be a pilot and meets the little prince when he crash-lands in the Sahara loses touch with his authentic self by the age of six a situation that’s common to humans and is the cause of so many of our later problems in life. Paralleling the pilot’s life is the experience of the little prince, who is a symbol of our inner being our original authentic self as a child.
His journey from the stars represents our birth from star stuff, and his romance with the rose on his planet depicts the struggles we have when it comes to forming passionate, enduring relationships. This is a book about learning to reconnect with our deepest self, learning to be real with each other in relationships, and learning to rely on ourselves and trust ourselves rather than needing the validation and support of others. In summary, it’s a description of the journey we must take if we are to learn to be true to ourselves and make our lives fulfilling.
