Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person
by The School of Life
Essays built around the most-read New York Times opinion piece of 2016: nobody is normal up close, we choose partners who feel familiar rather than good for us, and the right person is the one who negotiates difference gracefully. Short, dry and corrective.
Read it if…
you are choosing a partner or doubting the one you chose.
Skip it if…
you want romance; this is anti-romantic on purpose.
Three things you will actually use
- We are all difficult; the question is how.
- Familiar is not the same as good.
- Love is a skill, not an enthusiasm.
Do this first
Answer the book's question: 'How are you difficult to live with?' in writing.
Our verdict
Short, dry, corrective.
