To give you a taste of the PDF you are looking for, here is a summarized version of a classic passage from The Way to Love: Most public libraries now use apps like Libby or Hoopla

Imagine a fisherman. He wakes up in the morning. He goes to the river. He casts his line. He sits. He waits. If he is attached to catching a fish, he will suffer when the fish does not bite. He will become angry at the sun or the current. But if he is just there to be at the river, to feel the breeze, then whether the fish comes or not is irrelevant. His peace is not tied to the outcome.

That is the Way to Love. You sit by the river of life. You let people come and go. You let experiences rise and fall. You are the riverbank, not the fish. Imagine a fisherman

The Way to Love is not a linear narrative. It is a collection of 31 short chapters (often 2–3 pages each), originally designed as a month of daily meditations.
