Review of Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life
[Following is a volunteer review of "Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life" by Thomas Jordan, Ph.D..]
Love is a delicate yet very common phenomenon, it is almost a controversial subject to some. Love has been the cause of some of the most gruesome suicide and homicide cases. While other people find it easy to experience true love, others have tried looking and searching for the same but to no avail. While it has caused so much agony to others, it has been a reason for some to say they are genuinely happy. So many people have tried to perceive love, embrace it and perhaps experience it, but its dynamic nature has proved to be way beyond the grasp of their knowledge. It is very interesting how love affects human beings psychologically, mentally, spiritually and physically to some extent. With a different approach from other authors who have written books about love, Dr. Thomas Jordan tries to explain and educate about love relationships in his book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life.
The style of writing Dr. Thomas Jordan employs in his book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is great. He uses fairly long sentences that are easy to comprehend coupled with very appropriate vocabularies especially in the enlightenment of the whole subject about love. Dr. Thomas' approach is brilliant, he writes in a manner that constantly sends the reader into deep thought rather than just solely reading. This is an ingenious way of keeping the reader engaged and attentive to the content he is delivering. He even has some parts where he subjects the reader to fill in some blank spaces just to check a few things about his or her love relationship. He clearly does a great job in making the reader as involved as possible in reading his book.
Dr. Thomas Jordan's approach on the subject of love, or to be precise love relationships is quite unique. He believes that you are not born with the type of relationship you form in love, it is learned consciously or not, and it's usually unconsciously learned. And this means you often don't know consciously what you have learned about love relationships. He goes ahead to define love life as "any and all interpersonal relationships involving the emotion of love, past and present". This then posses the question, what have you learned about your love life so far? Most of as will answer this question referring exclusively to their relationships with the people they have interacted with romantically. The fact that Dr. Thomas refers to " all " relationships means you will have to also assess your love life with your family members and see what you have learned from the relationships. You will be surprised at how accurate he is about this.
The book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is divided into three parts. In part one, Dr. Thomas talks about unhealthy relationships. He addresses this as the problem. For someone who has had an unhealthy relationship but with the unconscious way of learning about this, fails to realize, then he or she will definitely carry the same traits of the unhealthy relationship to his or her next relationship unconsciously. This can be very stressful because as it is, the affected person has no idea about this. Dr. Thomas strives to strengthen your consciousness and educate you on how we learn about love relationships and how this affects us. In part two, he talks about psychological love life. He connects this to part one, showing how what you learn about your love relationships can affect you psychologically. In part three he talks about the unlearning method, you should probably get yourself the book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life to know more.
I love how Dr. Thomas gives his experiences in the book to make his point or explain his point. As much as I enjoyed reading the book, I found that he repeated some of the points he had already addressed before later on in the book, this made me lose interest to read on. Reading through the same content you have read may not be that hard, but the fact that this is a non fiction book and it carries a "down to business" tone does not make it any easy to reread already read content. Because of this I rate the book Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life 3 out of 4 stars. I did not find any errors in the book. It was exceptionally edited. People who have trouble with their love relationships, those who want to improve their relationships and those who love non fiction books will find this an interesting choice.
