==Critical reception==
[[People (magazine)|People]], “Whether single, married or facing relationship obstacles, Shetty's book will "guide you from loneliness to self-awareness."”<ref name=P>{{cite web|magazine=[[People (magazine)|People]]|url=https://people.com/books/jay-shetty-announces-new-book-8-rules-of-love/|author=Chiu, Melody|date=September 6, 2022|title=Jay Shetty Announces New Book '8 Rules of Love' : 'Don't Waste Time on People Who Aren't Good for You'}}</ref>

[[The New York Times]], “The new book explores the four [[Vedas|Vedic]] stages of love — preparing for love, practicing love, protecting love and perfecting love — with simple exercises and takeaways. There is a list of first date questions like, “What is occupying your thoughts most at the moment?” And for readers in relationships, there is a “social calendar” worksheet — to help people make time for themselves that is separate from time with their significant other or with friends.”<ref name=N>{{cite web|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|title=What Does Jay Shetty Know About Love?|author=Gupta, Alisha Haridasani|date=February 13, 2023|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308081928/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/13/well/mind/jay-shetty-book-8-rules-love.html|archivedate=March 8, 2023|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/13/well/mind/jay-shetty-book-8-rules-love.html}}</ref>
