NO Guts, No Love...is a book of stories. It is a book of lessons. It is a book that asks hard questions. And it is a book that provides a few answers. Burt Gershater’s stories touch the heart of love without glossing over its complexity. Through powerful personal tales and specific practice lessons, the reader wrestles with and gets closer to what we all want more of —LOVE!

What people are saying about No Guts No Love:

"Burt's philosophy appears simple, but the more you delve into it, the deeper it gets. It comes from pain and it comes from love. It's rabbinical in the best sense, like the old stories the Hasids used to tell that delivered courage and guidance in a Zen koan kind of way, or like the parables of Jesus."
—Steven Pressfield, author The War of Art and The Legend of Bagger Vance

"Gershater’s writing is refreshing! He speaks as a father, husband, counselor, competitive athlete, friend and spiritual seeker. He asks ultimate questions, then responds with true stories that transcend “either/or” dualistic answers. No Guts No Love is a graduate course in Twelve-Step spirituality and a guidebook to be our best selves in the world."
— Reverend Nancy DeNero, VP of Coalition for Ministry in Daily Life

"Page by page, No Guts No Love peels away the protective layers and exposes the common threads of our universal heart. A spiritual journey, combined with practical recommendations for implementation, make this book one to be read and re-read by us all, no matter where, or who we are..."
