The Incurable Romantic
Book description
'Frank Tallis brings a lifetime's clinical experience and wise reflection to a condition that, by its own strange routes, leads us into the very heart of love itself. This is a brilliant, compelling book' Ian McEwan
Love is a great leveller. Everyone wants love, everyone falls in love, everyone loses…Why read it?
1 author picked The Incurable Romantic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The book is surprising because it is written by a clinical psychologist who, based on his own studies and a wide review of the literature, shows that many aspects of the romantic love notion we construct in movies, songs, and society, in general, are actually biologically and psychologically pathological.
I think this is probably the only book written by a clinical psychologist that truly delivers a deep analysis of romantic love, including its history.
From Rui's list on understand human nature and sexuality.
