7 Books To Change Your Love Life
Books that helped me learn to love and date better.
“Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”
― Erich Fromm
That’s my favorite line from The Art Of Loving; one of the many books I’ve read on matters of the heart.
Love makes life worth living; it’s what connects us in a modern world that can feel isolating.
But love also doesn’t come easily for everyone. It’s confusing and messy and vulnerable and ridden with pains from our past. Two unique individuals coming together and letting their guard down is uncharted territory for many, so it makes sense that maybe you need a little help in this part of your life.
Throughout my years of heartaches and woes, I noticed patterns I kept making when choosing who to give my heart to. Relationships started and ended in the same way; I felt similar pains, over and over.
So when I took a year off from dating to really focus on myself, I did two important things:
- I discovered that I love to read; everything from memoirs to thrillers.
- I realized that all the pains I felt when it came to love were already written.
