Summary:
"An investigation of
love
in all its forms, featuring
conversations
with Lisa Taddeo, Esther Perel, Emily Nagoski, Kate Bowler, Alain de Botton, Stephen Grosz, Roxane Gay and others. 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."--Publisher.
