What Love Is
And What It Could Be
Carrie Jenkins
Exploring the nature of love and how it has evolved over time, this thought-provoking book by philosopher Carrie Jenkins offers a new theory on romantic love that combines both humanistic and scientific elements. Drawing on personal anecdotes and scientific research, Jenkins examines the complex parameters of love and argues that we must accept its many complexities and decide for ourselves how to love. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding what it truly means to say "I love you."

@blackwellbooks @fakedansavage @carriejenkins Well, I definitely recommend "What Love Is" by @carriejenkins -- it's a beautiful, well-argued book. Also "The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm. "Mating in Captivity" by Esther Perel is very good. Stephanie Coontz' "Marriage: A History" is essential reading. The list goes on! – source
