Self-Help Relationships
Journalist Natasha Lunn was almost 30 when she
realized that there was no map for understanding love. While
she was used to watching friends fall in and out of love,
the older she got the more she had to acknowledge: her
friends' relationship struggles could no longer be chalked
up to youth, and the more she learned about her parents,
grandparents, work colleagues, and mentors the clearer it
became that age had not brought any of them any closer to
understanding this elusive, transformative, consuming
emotion. One night during the months she found this
realization settling over her, she sat up in bed and jotted
three words in a notebook: conversations on love. In that
moment, Lunn understood that she didn't want advice about
love, she wasn't looking for the answers, or evergreen
wisdom but she craved candid, wide-ranging, sometimes
uncomfortable conversations about the parts of love that
often don't make it into our everyday discussions of
marriage, sibling relationships, friendships, or
mother/daughter bonds. Conversations on
Love started as an experiment aimed at interviewing
experts about what love meant to them, in all of it's
messiness, and quickly blossomed into a newsletter that
attracted thousands of subscribers and a prestigious range
of interviewees. It turns out that Lunn wasn't the only
person ready to talk more openly and expansively about
love.
Interweaving personal essays
and revealing interviews with some of the most sough-after
experts on love, journalist Natasha Lunn guides us through
the paradoxical heart of three key questions about love--How
do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive
when we lose it?--to deliver a book that is a solace, a
beacon, a call to arms, a tool-kit. The real-life love
stories in these pages will leave you hopeful and validated,
while the insights from experts will transform the way you
think about your relationships. Above
all, Conversations on Love will remind you what
love is: fragile, sturdy, mundane, beautiful, always worth
fighting for.
