"Love is a skill, not just an enthusiasm" - This is my key takeaway from this beautifully written novel.

In many passages, it felt like Alain de Botton was spying on me and writing about me. It is a simple story with profound commentary, from the modern-day philosopher Alain, that makes it a great read. We all think that we are unique, but from a therapist's point of view, we fall under specific patterns. It is nothing to be scoffed about, but many of our anxieties, frustrations and disappointments, can be well answered by the modern discipline of therapy.

A fitness coach (or therapist) can help you to be in your peak physical self. After reading this, I firmly believe, a mental coach (or a couple's therapist) can be of great help to strengthen your relationships with others and your self.
