Eli reviewed The Course of Love by Alain de Botton
None
5 stars
This book went quickly and I really really enjoyed it. Talking about expectations of two people in a relationship from each other and the world around them, what we are spoon-fed to believe is what love is, and looking deeper into why is it that all of us have same feelings and unrealistic expectations from a significant other. Many patterns I could resonate with and see in myself, and helped me understand myself better as a result.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ever been or will ever want to be in a relationship. There is no 'perfect' person, as we are all endlessly flawed, but it doesn't make a partnership impossible, if approached with reason and effective communication.
