Why read it?
1 author picked The Course of Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A philosopher writes about love in the most extraordinarily ordinary way. It is a story about a couple and how they fall in love and why the two of them fall in love with each other. That is fascinating in itself. Then he follows how the love between them develops—and he comments on it as they move along. It is a book that gives a deep insight into how love works when it works—and when it doesn’t. I felt much better about the mistakes I’ve made in love when I read his book.
From Pouline's list on how to get a deep and fulfilling love life.
