Relationships
by The School of Life
A compact guide to the whole arc: attraction, arguments, sex, children, affairs, and the idea of love as a skill learned through tolerance and teaching. It consolidates the School of Life position and the chapter on 'the weakness of strength' is the standout.
Read it if…
you want one calm, non-therapeutic overview of how relationships actually work.
Skip it if…
you want research citations; it is essayistic.
Three things you will actually use
- Every strength has a weakness attached; you cannot have one without the other.
- Teach instead of sulk.
- Love is a skill.
Do this first
Read 'the weakness of strength' and apply it to your partner's most annoying trait.
Our verdict
Calm and non-therapeutic.
