The Sorrows of Love
by The School of Life
Short essays on the predictable pains of love: unrequited feeling, jealousy, the end of passion, arguments, loneliness inside a couple. The stance is that these are normal and survivable and that knowing so is half the cure.
Read it if…
you are in pain over love and want company rather than tips.
Skip it if…
you want fixes; the book offers understanding.
Three things you will actually use
- Love's sorrows are universal; yours is not evidence of failure.
- Naming a pain shrinks it.
- Most love problems are communication problems in disguise.
Do this first
Read the essay closest to your current sorrow.
Our verdict
