Review of Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life
In a love life relationship, the experience one gets is usually either of these: a healthy love life relationship, or an unhealthy love life relationship. Thomas Jordan enumerated explicitly the fact that a love life that one experiences growing up is what he or she replicates as an adult in his or her love life relationship. However, one can decide to unlearn all unhealthy relationships unconsciously learned and relearn healthy ones. In this book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life, formulas abound that are instrumental in understanding the etymology of love life experiences both positive and negative, or rather healthy and unhealthy love life experiences in a bid to focus on correcting the defective psychological love life.
I love the book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life, this is because Jordan was meticulous in dissecting love relationships. Take for instance, not only that his own psychological love life that was mended was used as a case study, but he also took his time to itemize the unhealthy relationships characteristics and their consequences i.e -abandonment, abuse, control, dishonesty exploration, and mistrust as against attachment, respect, freedom, independence, honesty, consideration, and trust. The connectivity of the thoughts enunciated was apt, and the effort of the therapeutic analyst mentioned made the whole discussion come to life. It is pertinent to say that I have been using the analysis therein to dissect love relationships around me, and I have started using those thoughts as a therapy for victims of unhealthy love life relationships so that they can unlearn the unhealthy experiences they have internalized unconsciously while growing up and learn healthy experiences in other to sustain the healthy love in their relationships. Another interesting aspect is the index. It guides and directs readers seamlessly to thoughts explained that you want to quickly lay your hand on for reference or some clarification either during reading or after completing the book.
Though the book is a bit concise and easy to understand, it appears to me that some of the thoughts that were expressed are sometimes replicated or repeated, so to speak. The possibility might be that the author deliberately did this as a method to make the points indelible in the minds of the readers. Nonetheless, not too bad.
While reading, I noticed that a few errors and typos were found, so for the fact that they were very minimal, I will want to rate the book 4 out of 4 stars.
Just because of the nature of the topic under discussion, I will recommend that adolescents and adults alike pursuing or hope to pursue love life relationship should read it. Adults that are already in a relationship (i.e courtship) and married couples can also find the book educating.
