On this episode of The Intentional Guy podcast, host Michael Chestnut interviews author Paul Zollman about his book "The Role of Love" which offers a fresh take on the popular "5 Love Languages."
Zollman shares his journey from an abusive and angry upbringing to breaking that generational cycle by taking responsibility for his emotions and relationships. This led him to develop an innovative way to teach the essence of love languages through a dice game that prompts practicing giving love through gifts, touch, acts of service, quality time and words.
It takes the focus off guessing what others want and makes it about becoming "love linguists" - learning how to actively love people around us through various means. They discuss how this intentional approach trains us to see opportunities to express love, bring more light into the world, and relate to others from a place of genuine care.
Tune in to hear insights on overcoming negativity, the power of modeling emotional health for kids early on, and why choosing to love widely benefits both ourselves and community. It's a simple but profound guide to living out the golden rule.
