Being in a love relationship is a beautiful thing when it is with the right person and at the right time. It can also be a very horrible thought after a breakup. At some point in time, we are confused about issues concerning our love life, and we wish to know how best to go about it. Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life by Thomas Jordan, Ph.D. is your wish come true. It is a self-help book that acts as a guide or manual on how to heal from a failed relationship and experience a healthier relationship. It is not a book about love, but a book about love relationships. According to the author, it is “a 21st-century love relationship class.”

Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is a quick read with only 107 pages and a total of 6 chapters. The book is divided into three parts, which makes it easy to assimilate. The first part is titled “The Unhealthy Love Life,” the second part is titled “Psychological Love Life,” and the last part is “Unlearning Method.”

In the book, Dr Thomas Jordan explains the series of activities that would lead to experiencing a successful love life. It starts with the relationships we have with our parents as children, whether it is a healthy relationship or an unhealthy relationship. As a result, we experience unconscious emotional learning from the relationship we have with our parents while growing up, and we replicate what we learned from our previous relationships to our present relationship. If we encountered an unhealthy relationship while growing up, then we must unlearn what we have learned from the unhealthy relationship and practice the opposite of it. Some common unhealthy relationship traits, which the author explained, are dishonesty, exploitation, abuse, neglect, control, self-centeredness, abandonment, etc.

I enjoyed the author’s tone in the book. There’s a lot of useful information in this book regarding relationships. I also liked the fact that he used his relationship with his mother as a case study in explaining most points, which made the book feel more authentic. I personally think his guide in achieving a healthy love life works because he was able to fix his relationship with his mother, and he has been researching and treating unhealthy love lives for over 30 years. There’s nothing to dislike about this book, as it is also written in easy to understand English.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I have given a full rating because the book was professionally edited, and the author justified the title of the book by providing a step-wise approach to assist us in healing from an unsatisfactory love life. The book is also free from profanity and sexual content. I recommend this book to people who are hoping to experience a better love life, love therapists, and marriage counselors.

Our past relationships impact our future relationships without any doubt. But no one ever tells you how to fix a bad relationship. We are asked to just accept it as a fact and move on. It's a refreshing thing to see that the author succeeded in finding a solution to this problem, and he has shared his methods with us now.
Thanks for this wonderful review. :tiphat:

It is an important distinction that the book is about love relationships, not love. It’s the relationship that’s the hard part. Thank you for a great review.

Failed relationships tend to leave an impact that influences how we treat our future relationships. Sometimes, they leave such a deep impact that we, without even knowing it, let it ruin our present one. A healthy relationship is very important. Thanks for the amazing review.

Thanks for your feedback. Most times, we assume love and love relationships as same but truth is we need a good relationship to keep someone we love. Thanks

It's rare to see a self-help book in the field of love and relationships. Usually, they are about making money or becoming successful. I liked your review, and I am sure this book can help millions of young lovers across the world.
