Review by zainherb -- Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Yo...
Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is a book that explains all anyone needs to know about love relationships. In this book, Dr Thomas Jordan teaches us how we learn about unhealthy love relationships and how we replicate what we have previously learnt in our own love lives. One such example is those who have learnt that abuse is a part of love relationships, find partners who abuse them or become abusers themselves, or both. Furthermore, we learn about our individual psychological love lives, the aftereffects of our unhealthy relationship experiences, and how to unlearn unhealthy relationship behaviours so we can practice healthy relationship behaviours instead. So, a person who has learnt abuse as a part of love relationships is to unlearn this, and practice the opposite of abuse which is mentioned in the book.
What I love most about this book is the wealth of information packed in it. There is so much unique content in just 124 pages. Everything mentioned in the book applies to the subject under discussion and there is no unnecessary detail to fill out space and waste the reader’s time. Jordan’s narration about his personal experience learning about love and how this affected his love life later on was a nice inclusion. It made the book more interesting and relatable. There are also practice questions to encourage the reader to participate, apply what is being taught, dive deep and ask personal questions.
There is nothing I dislike about the book. I will mention that the way the book is written is academic and might be slightly difficult for those who aren’t well educated, or who are non-native English speakers to understand it. This is because apart from the vocabulary, there are lots of long, convoluted sentences in the book that make comprehension tough. Other than this, the book is brilliant. Even the editing was amazing.
I give this book four out of four stars. The book is truly spectacular, and the aforementioned issues were not enough to reduce the rating. I found the book to be more beneficial than I originally thought; I learnt a lot about myself and I am glad I read it.
Readers who love nonfiction and those who want to fix their love relationships by getting to the root of the problem will find the book interesting and beneficial. As for those who dislike nonfiction, have no interest in academic discussions, or love relationships will probably not enjoy it.

Very true.aodonnell wrote: ↑10 Jun 2021, 16:44 Even though I am in a healthy relationship, I'd be interested to check out this book and see how the contents apply to other relationships. For example, abuses and traumas suffered outside of romantic relationships also require healing and unlearning, so I'd be interested to see the techniques the author offers.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
And the techniques are insightful too.
