Am I Loved?
Alone amongst all Creation we are the only I apart from God. We are that we are, which is to say not as we should be. For how can we function as sophisticated emotional beings when we can neither understand nor control our emotions? That is the question.
This book is about nothing if not about being human. It is about love and human needs, about misunderstandings, grief, faith and despair, but mostly about love.
It is a book about us. It is a book of secrets, it is a book about life, about how life is protected and how it has been lived by a parade of humanity sixty five billion names long. It is not another novel or self-help book, just a book that is stranger than fiction.
As human beings not only have we all gone wrong, we have never got it right.

The very things that make us human are those that cause us to feel ill at ease in our humanity. Can we discover how to understand our emotions? Yes we can. Far from being “red in tooth and claw” Nature has elegantly engineered us both to preserve and to pass on the life we bear.
Protecting that life is revealed to be the sole purpose of our existence. For Nature protects the life within us by endowing us with a full repertory of emotions and the capacity to love to a degree not given to the rest of Creation. What Nature’s Protections comprise and how they determine how we function is explained through a Riddle (what are our emotions for?) a Trick (that Nature plays on us to encourage us to procreate) and a Mystery (of how we process our emotions ).
Along the way we encounter the Speechless Real (the reason for our ignorance of how we function) our Supreme Sense (supreme above all our senses, enabling us to gauge how we are surviving and, crucially, the source of our self-awareness and consciousness) and Nature’s Morality (enabling us to live better more loving lives), introducing fascinating concepts such as the ineffable link between our emotions and our need to be loved, the fundamental role genes play in our existence, what is heredity, what is love, why we love, how we love, how being loved is the greatest of all our human needs; why “Am I loved ? ” is the most asked question of all time and why the vast majority of people ask the wrong question; why so many people seek love from an invisible god and why would god have emotions?
This book holds out the beguiling prospect of our being able to resolve the majority of our emotional problems with far greater facility. It enables us to take charge of our lives, providing us with the chance to feel truly comfortable in ourselves and at ease in our nature for the very first time. We did not come into this world with a manual. This is the next best thing

‘This book really shakes the tree in that you don’t only feel like you’ve been enlightened, you feel educated. You feel like whether you believe some of it, all of it, or none of it – this is the truth as the writer sees it. This is a rare book.’

‘I made a point to look at the world through the lens of his words for a week and you know what? He has a point of view that should be heard and shared.’
Female, 20s.
‘Am I Loved? shares a valid and interesting point of view. I would say argument but the book is written so beautifully there is no desire to convince people. A significant book.’
Male, 50s
‘Even though I wasn’t looking for a new philosophy, am not at all religious, or give life’s meaning any thought, this book opened my eyes to things I didn’t think I cared about.’
Female, 30s.
It’s extremely well written, to the point if you want to put it down you are grateful to be reading something written so well you keep on going. I don’t feel duped by this author. There are so many 'gurus' who intend to make a living off what they spew. This author seems to have no agenda other than to share what he believes.’

‘This book made me feel good – like life really has a purpose.’
